Yes, the monitor has a solid implementation of FreeSync so you shouldn't have an issue.

 

Only things to be aware:

You need to connect using Display Port, any other connection will not enable G-Sync.

You need a Pascal or older architecture nVidia GPU.

 

If you meet both criteria it is as easy as go to nVidia control panel and enable G-Sync, the FreeSync capacity of the monitor it should work flawlessly like if it was AMD hardware:

Hello, so I was just looking at a new display because my current one is kinda outdated. I found one from MSI called "MSI Optix 27" LED Curved MAG271CR" The screen isnt too expensive, it has 144hz and a great resolution which is what i'm looking for. But I noticed that the screen has AMD Freesync, I've heard of Nvidias version of this which is called Gsync but from what I've found the monitors with Gsync are more expensive than those without. Will that monitor from MSI still work with my pc when I have an nvidia card or will I get any problems with it cause of AMD freesync? I'm currently using the Gtx 1080.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?
