Cant setup Freesync?!

[InfiniteGreen]

Hey everyone! 

I just refuse to believe what happening to me so that why Im gonna ask you guys about it: 

So I got a brand new expensive monitor (Gigabyte G32qc) which is certified with Freesync Premium Pro and supports Gsync (many claimed they have tried and it works good) but there one problem, I cant setup G sync cause I need a 10 series or up (I use 980Ti classified by EVGA WHICH IS GOD DAMNIT BETTER GRAPHIC CARD THEN SOME IN THE 10 SERIES) So I dont have that option in the Nvidia control panel. 

So now freesync; I turned it on in the monitor options but it does seem to work at all! 

Is it because I also gotta have a 10 series and up?!

As far as I am aware, you need a 10 Series card or newer. I believe it was something to do with the DP spec on the older cards, or at least I think that was NVIDIA's reasoning.

You need a 10 series card or higher for both. The 9 series GPUs and below do not support adaptive sync (both G-sync and Freesync).

Oh dear lord, im not gonna change my graphic card any time soon, I spent so much effort and money to build it! 

Is there any way to bypass it? or should I just use Vsync?

For 900 series cards, G-Sync can only be enabled if you have a monitor with a G-Sync module, it won't work with G-Sync Compatible/FreeSync monitors.

Like I said, G-Sync Compatible/FreeSync monitors won't support G-Sync with 900 series cards.
