Adaptive Sync

The PX257 Prime supports Adaptive Sync technology, which eliminates screen tearing and lag during gameplay. The available Adaptive Sync menu items may vary depending on the monitor model and compatibility with AMD graphics cards.

Nvidia G-Sync
If you are using Nvidia GTX 10 series or RTX 20 series graphics cards, you can use the Adaptive Sync function. Please ensure that you have downloaded the latest GPU updates from Nvidia to enable Adaptive Sync over your Nvidia GTX graphics cards.

How to enable Adaptive Sync on Nvidia GPU

  1. Right-click on the Windows desktop and select Nvidia Control Panel
  2. Expand the Display section of the left-hand navigation pane and select Set up G-Sync
  3. 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
  4. Check the “Enable settings for the selected display model” box
  5. 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 Adaptive Sync monitors support Adaptive Sync over HDMI, Nvidia says you’ll need to connect your GeForce GPU to your Adaptive Sync monitor using a DisplayPort cable to activate variable refresh rates. (G-Sync monitors only work over DisplayPort as well.)
