AMD Eyefinity with Freesync

[Extremus]

I just wanted to have an eyefinity setup with freesync monitors. I already own a freesync monitor (22MP68VQ) and I was planning to get two more of the same. It is a 1080p 75hz freesync IPS monitor and I love it. The GPU I currently have is Sapphire Nitro+ Rx 580 8GB which has 2 HDMI, 1 DVI & 1 DisplayPort. and as far as I know for eyefinity you need to connect at least 1 monitor to DisplayPort but this monitor only has DVI and HDMI inputs and I don't think that DVI supports freesync so my only option is to get a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter for one the three monitors but I wanted to confirm if FreeSync would still work for that monitor and if not will I still have access to the 75hz refresh rate or will it have a 60hz limit.

Eyefinity is just their term for multi display technology.

 

You can connect more FreeSync monitors provided they support FreeSync over HDMI (support depends on each individual Monitor). You could buy 2 monitors which support FreeSync over HDMI and then use the 2 other HDMI connections on your RX 580 to power them.

 

Also, if you're buying more Freesync monitors, I'd look into Freesync 2 instead of the original FreeSync.

 

FreeSync 2 is FreeSync with HDR support and Wide Color Gamut.

I am on a budget and I already have a freesync monitor (LG 22MP68VQ) which I love so I will buy the same monitor so FreeSync 2 is out of question. And yes this monitor supports Freesync over hdmi but my question was if I buy a displayport to hdmi adapter for the third monitor will I still be able to utilise freesync and if not will I be able to utilise the 75hz refresh rate or will I be limited to 60hz?

If the 3rd monitor is also a FreeSync monitor then there should be no problem. Otherwise even if the 3rd monitor isn't FreeSync ready then you should still be able to use FreeSync on your 2 FreeSync 1.0 monitors.

So you mean to say if I connect a monitor which supports freesync over hdmi  to a DisplayPort adapter I will  be able to use freesync on that monitor.

I'm confused. You can continue to use your Freesync monitor through the existing Display Port connection and any new Monitors you get you can connect via HDMI.

 

All your monitors would be connected to your GPU.

The monitor I have does not have a DisplayPort input and neither will the monitors that I will buy in the future so I wanted to know if freesync will continue to work or not if i connect it through a DisplayPort to hdmi adapter.

It'll work so long as you connect your FreeSync monitors through HDMI and any future non FreeSync monitor through a different connection such as DVI.

Good News! I bought this random DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (image attached) and freesync works(I only tried it at 1080p).
