Nvidia with Freesync

[Mike87]

Hi all,

 

I am a bit confused because I was playing around with my monitor settings and I am not sure if this is good what I've done 

 

To keep it short: 

I have the Samsung S27F350FHU Monitor which comes with freesync and a so called "Game Mode". This mode seems to activate freesync but also pushes to 72hz. Since I am using the gtx 1080ti I am not sure if freesync will get me any negative effect? Because I would like to use the 72hz. Win10 and games recognise the Monitor as 72hz. While playing everything is looking good so I don't think I need to worry?

 

Thanks!

youll get the higher framerate but no syncing until tomorrow when nvidia release new drivers to support freesync on their cards, so not only will you get the extra hz, your monitor and card should sync up with refresh rates...theoretically...we will find out tomorrow

As far as I know the driver that enables Nvidia cards to use Freesync will be released tomorrow. If your monitor is not approved by Nvidia you will have to turn on this feature yourself. I'd say download the driver and compare with Freesync on and off, then pick whichever looks and feels best.

oh ok. I thought the new driver only works if you have an AMD Processor? At least thats what Linus said in his video.

You are probably thinking about the trick with AMD APUs and Nvidia's cards. That was something completely different, this time Nvidia actually implements support for FreeSync so you should be able to use it without any problems.

Yes that was the video. Ok my mistake! But thanks for the clearup
