Adaptive-Sync. (AMD FreeSync or Nvidia G-Sync.)
FreeSync technology is solution that eliminates screen tearing without all the usual lag and latency. This feature will eliminate screen tearing and lag during game play. Improve your gaming experience. The displayed FreeSync menu items on the monitor may vary, depending on the monitor model and compatibility with the AMD graphics card. Nvidia G-Sync If you are using Nvidia GTX 10series or RTX20series graphic cards, you can use Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync) function. This requires Nvidia’s latest GPU updates. Please download and latest update if you are intend to use Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync) over your Nvidia GTX graphics cards. FYI, How to enable FreeSync on Nvidia GPU
- Right-click on the Windows desktop and select Nvidia Control Panel
- Expand the Display section of the left-hand navigation pane and select Set up G-Sync
- Check the “Enable G-Sync, G-Sync Compatible” box and select the Active Sync display you’d like to use if you have more than one monitor
- Check the “Enable settings for the selected display model” box
- Click “Apply” in the bottom-right
If the above isn’t available, or isn’t working, you may need to go to Manage 3D Settings, click the Global tab, scroll down to Monitor Technology, select G-SYNC Compatible in the drop-down, and then click Apply Even though AMD Radeon GPUs and some FreeSync monitors support Adaptive Sync over HDMI, Nvidia says you’ll need to connect your GeForce GPU to your FreeSync monitor using a DisplayPort cable to activate variable refresh rates.(G-Sync monitors only work over DisplayPort as well.)
