the one without.

 

Okay, I see where the confusion is coming from. By design, both cards will support DX12 and Vulkan. Amazon should really require commas when advertising things in the title.

 

DX12 is an API, along with Vulkan. FreeSync is separate from the two, and will work regardless of the API. And, those are 470s, not 480s.

Hi, so I am thinking about getting the RX 470 nitro. i noticed there is two versions one with Vulkan Free-Sync and one without. so i was wondering what is Vulkan Free-Sync and is it worth my extra couple of $?

Can you show me where you're seeing that? I looked up the card on Sapphire's website and there's nothing stated about "Vulkan Freesync." Freesync will work regardless of the API.
