FreeSync?

AYDANN6ix9ine · February 2, 2019

So I know what Freesync is and it's great but what about the "range" part of FreeSync. So say you have a 1080p 144hz FreeSync Monitor, does it only do FreeSync on 144hz? Would going past 144 fps still work with FreeSync or not?

How does G-Sync do this?

It only works up to the maximum refresh rate of the monitor. If your framerate is higher than that, FreeSync will turn off or switch to V-Sync (depending on whether you have V-Sync turned on in the AMD settings).

G-Sync works the same way.

Monitors will usually define a range like 48-144Hz, which mean freesync only works in-between those frame rates.

Almost all FreeSync monitors can maintain FreeSync operation down to 0 Hz through frame duplication so the "minimum range" is only a technical specification and doesn't really mean anything in terms of real work operation. Only a few (like 4K monitors that only go 40–60 Hz, or some early FreeSync models that only go 48–75 or something like that) actually have a minimum operating range.
