AMD FreeSync is AMD's display technology that works only with AMD graphics cards such as the RX 580.

 

What AMD FreeSync does is simple; FreeSync eliminates screen-tearing and syncs up the excess frames that the graphics card might have if FreeSync was not present.

 

Short note on screen tearing, this is when the monitor is receiving more frames that it can handle, such as 120FPS getting displayed to 60Hz, this essentially tears the screen in half due to the overload of frames that are trying to update the screen whilst also trying to display it.

 

The best one is obviously whichever monitor you have, FreeSync if you have an AMD card, G-Sync if you have an Nvidia card.

I would also add that FreeSync and G-Sync are usually only worth it if you're running a refresh rate above roughly 100Hz.

 

If a GPU can consistently push say 144Hz, then Vsync is usually all that's needed, at the very least. I personally have a FreeSync monitor paired with an Nvidia graphics card and I have no problems.

If you buy a FreeSync monitor and have an Nvidia GPU, the FreeSync just won't be enabled and it'll be as if FreeSync doesn't exist.
