nvidia gpu and freesync monitor

Ozzy12

Hi, I want to replace my rx 570 with a gigabyte gtx 1660 ti.I have a msi monitor with freesync (here is a link:https://www.otto.de/p/msi-led-monitor-1920x1080-full-hd-1-ms-reaktionszeit-144hz-optix-mag241cp-852201568/#variationId=852201569)

and I want to know if there will be any problems between my monitor and my gpu. Are those monitors compatible with nvidia graphics cards?

Seems like it's not compatible with Gsync-Compatible. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/

So your mileage may vary.

I checked out the URL you listed and Freesync wasn't mentioned at all.  

 

Display port is the only requirement to get Freesync to work on NVIDIA video cards, however, the quality of freesync can change from model to model, but I've not had any issues getting an NVIDIA card to work on the freesync monitors I've tried.

This is your monitor https://www.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-MAG241CP/Overview

It says in the website "AMD FreeSync – prevent screen tearing."

so it should support FreeSync and it has a display port so it should work with your nvidia card

make sure to use the Display Port not HDMI

If I am wrong, someone correct me.

:D

Did some research and seems like it either doesn't work or works pretty badly.

At the end it depends on the monitor not all monitors will work bad.

I found multiple Reddit threads where people were talking about it, and most posts said that either it doesn't work at all, or if it does work it introduced flickering for many.

Sure OP's case might differ, but he probably should do some more research.

Yeah, for now I think OP is better saving for a G-Sync monitor at least he will not risk this. Or if there is a way he may test this monitor before buying.
