Can a Free-Sync Enabled Monitor Run G-sync

Phyronite

I have been looking at the Acer Predator XR341CK monitor, a 34 inch ips Free-sync monitor.  However, I am using a gtx 980 ti.  Is there a way I can turn off Free-sync and run G-sync from mu gpu?

nope, you need a G-Sync enabled monitor to use G-Sync.

alternatively, freeSync only works with AMD cards.

 

i don't believe there currently is any way to make this work, sadly. :(

Nope. G-Sync uses seperate module(physical thing). While free-sync is software based(it has to have certain thingie as well, but it's integrated in to most monitors anyway)

Will there be any issues with me running a 980 ti without g-sync on this monitor?

The monitor has to support G-sync explicitly. G-Sync uses an on-board chip in the monitor so it can't be hacked/modded into working with G-Sync. That model doesn't support G-Sync but the XR341CKA -variant does.

Nope. It will just function as a normal monitor.

nope, you can just run it normally with G-Sync disabled. there shouldn't be any issues!

some possibly if nvidia would stopignoring customers and allow gsync outside of laptops to be run without the module.

until thay happens though, no

So there will be no frame smoothing at all....

Nope. Other than your SO being pissy about wasting money.

Not on the monitor's side. It will have a fixed refresh rate with Nvidia cards. 

 

VSync and framecaps would still work, as they're software side.

the fuck did I just tell you irl? way to waste people's time... but yeah, gsync only works on monitors with a gsync module, which is why they're more expensive.

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo
