You mentioned something completely incorrect. From a technical standpoint, NVIDIA completely unlocked FreeSync compatibility with their 1000/2000 series GPU's. So any FreeSync monitor, even older ones, should theoretically work perfectly assuming the FreeSync module is fully functioning. NVIDIA's statements seemed a bit misleading as a result as they "verified" certain monitors worked, but did not state that it works across the board and even harped on the idea that there are monitors which displayed issues. However further testing from the community instantly found that there was no issue getting it to work on basically any available FreeSync monitor at that monitor's intended range. So no, there are not only certain monitors that are "G-Sync compatible" with NVIDIA's newer cards. Now if you have a 900 series GPU or lower from NVIDIA, no, FreeSync will not work. But that's really the only limitation as of now. FreeSync is virtually 100% compatible with NVIDIA's 1000/2000 series cards. Please fix.
Cryptonix02 is there really no issue? I just bought my 2080 for my first build and was hoping to save some money w the monitor but I’ve been seeing that only some are gsync compatible forcing me to spend like 500+ on a monitor for 1080 lol anyways thanks
@@drater1529 Yeah, there's pretty much no issue. I would go for a newer FreeSync monitor for sure which you can still get at insanely good bargains. Also I recommend looking into the FreeSync range of each monitor you consider because that determines at what FPS FreeSync will actually work. You want something that works from at LEAST 40 FPS all the way up to its max refresh rate. So if you want 144 Hz, look for a FreeSync range of 40-144 FPS. Ideally 30-144 FPS would be even better.
@@drater1529 There are no issues with using freesync with Nvidia cards. This video comes off in the conclusion that the better VRR is GSync which is not true. What you have to consider whether a monitor is good or not is the *panel* itself *NOT* the VRR technology it's using. This is crucial to point out in bold because freesync has gotten a bad rep as there are more monitors on the market with it than the alternative; leading there to be a bigger sample size which ultimately means there are more bad apples in the bunch. However the so called 'bad freesync' monitors are terrible not because they have freesync, but mainly because the actual panel that they are using is just straight up bad. This is true for the alternative btw, there is no substitute to actually having to research the monitor itself to find out whether it's good or bad regardless if it's using GSync or freesync. Any good freesync monitor works just as well if not better than the GSync equivalent, it all comes down to the panel being used.

@@drater1529 in my opinion I think freesync is where it's at, simply because it's much more diverse, cheaper and has better compatibility since it's not vendor locked. The differences between them both is negligible ( see LG 32GK850F(freesync) VS LG 32GK850G(GSync)) so the lower cost and higher compatibility is a big draw for freesync imo.

Hassan Aslam Wait morning need some explanation I have a brand new FreeSync dell monitor paired with my Nvidia 2080ti and I noticed this even playing on PS4 let me know how to do this please
So i understood free sync is for AMD and G sync for NVDIA, so does that mean I will better off getting a G Sync monitor since I have a NVDIA graphics card?
I used Freesync on my gtx 1060 3gb, enjoyed it. Use it on my new 5600xt Pulse, enjoy it. My monitor cost $179. 1080p, 144hz, 1ms, 25' boarder-less, IPS. G-sync are to costy. Lol, quality control.. funny. It has nothing to do with quality control from AMD's part, it's all about the monitors specs and capabilities. I can buy a 144hz monitor and freesync will support that, 60hz, that too.
Ok I’m a little confused by this. I have just bought triple screens for sim racing. The monitors have AMD Freesync. I have a a nvidia 3090 gpu and a AMD ryzen processor. I have activated the freesync on my monitor and g sync in my nvidia control panel, although it said monitor not compatible? I’m unsure whether I have done right as I’m not 100% happy with the graphics in the sim (ACC) Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Okay, FreeSync works only in its given range. There are some monitors with 40-144Hz adapative range that sounds good. But how that ones work with one exact number? There are monitors with "Adaptive sync range: 144Hz" for example. I only get the benefits if i reach that score?
Yes, it should. I hope you're enjoying yours and not have any issues. I have an Acer 144hz 1080p freesync monitor with a 1070ti and it works great as great as the quality of my monitor. I have no issues at all and my monitor was Gsync compatible. I'm glad I didn't pay that Gsync tax. My monitor was 180 dollars on sale.
Hi, i just had my new system but currently using my hdmi. When i get my DP and plug it, will i be switching to gsync automaticly or is this an option to turn on or something, maybe in each game? I have msi optix G241 as monitor if enough
What have your experienced when using TWO monitors??? My max frame rate drops to the refresh rate of the monitor with the lowest refresh rate. One monitor is 60HZ and the other is 165HZ . If I unplug the 60HZ monitor from the graphics card, I get the up to 165 FPS. 580X graphics card. Has anyone else had isssues with using more than one monitor?
I’d be interested to know if there is a difference in performance with G-Sync on a freesync monitor like the 34GK950F vs G-Sync on a natively supported G-sync monitor like its 34GK950G counterpart (literally the same panel but with a native G-Sync module in it).
Connor Macloud AMD made FreeSync free (thus the name FREEsync), while Nvidia decided to make it expensive. Just like Intel makes their processors more expensive than AMD and yet AMD offers a better performance overall (check the latest ones from AMD). Long story short, it’s just Nvidia being Nvidia, making their products expensive.
total difference because there is not such thing as ''g-sync with freesync monitor'' !!!!!!!!!! g-sync compatible = freesync with nvidia cards g-sync still a exclusive nvidia's tecnology, so you need a gsync monitor + nvidia card to have g-sync
Great video but you kept switching around the wording by saying "free sync and g sync" then saying "adaptive sync and v sync" i had to go back a couple times to understand what happened
No g sync is better, 3 months ago I was retarded about this stuff but now I did my research and gsync is pretty much better if you have nvidia gpu’s, and what I said about the 141hz thing was fake
@@chromechromechromechrome GSYNC and FreeSync can work perfectly fine in competitive games assuming you have a 120hz monitor or more. despite what sources on the internet tell you, GSYNC and FreeSync only add about 1ms of input lag assuming it's set up properly and you have vsync disabled entirely.
IMO I would rather freesync, as I play fast first person shooters that can use 120fps, but on the series s it won’t get that 100% of the time so I fear it would go down to 100, or even 60 fps, so adaptive refresh rate works perfect for me, I’ve had no problems so far with it.
variable or adaptive refresh rate means your monitor can operate with a range of different refresh rates e.g. 60hz-240hz and it can switch up from whatever in that range. freesync is a way the "program" try to match the frames your gpu put out with the monitor refresh rate, so if your monitor can put out on 60 fps, but your gpu can put out a 100fps, then freesync will limit it to 60fps to match with your monitor display
1:25 Why would they make a GPU that is actively pushing for something that will result in a screen tearing? So, are they deliberately doing that, or they just don't know how to make a video card that would not do that?
I really like how they put code on the screen to display something people have a hard time understanding, that's fine... but then it's just HTML, lol. As if that's an actual programming language.
Even a 2080 ti would not give you 240hz in AAA games. If you are playing competitive shooter in some games like overwatch yes you will reach that potential.
So if i get new amd graphics card, can i use it with my g sync monitor? I have tried to find answer to this, but no one can freaking say it in short. Getting information overload and shortcircuiting my brain :D
How can you make such a video without noting that Nvidia cards will use FreeSync if the monitor doesn't support G-Sync (but DOES support FreeSync) while AMD cards cannot use G-Sync? The logical (and "objective") conclusion is that FreeSync is the clear winner ... G-Sync will probably fade away. Technologically more advanced - but who cares? I use Nvidia cards exclusively (recently bought three) but have no intention of ever paying extra for G-Sync.
It's not even compatible with console so it doesn't even have any effect. That's why PS4 and Xbox have that jittery look no matter what monitor you play on. Kind of sucks but maybe next gen we will have it compatible.
If you a AMD than is the better to use free sync. Because g-sync will not good working. Some games will not work or its not the best quality. Gforce is better to use G-sync it is compatible with a G-sync monitor. If you use on a Gforce a free sync monitor it works but you will not works 100% . AMD free sync. Gforce G-sync
I'm a little confused. I bought a monitor that supports FreeSync, yet I have just toggled on GSync via the Nvidia Control Panel? Does this mean it works anyway or is it just a flaw in the control panel?
lmfao basically... if your monitor can handle the framerate the video card pushes... then either of these technologies are really needed. It's pure gimmicks.
@@MT-zw1ti u can easely prevent tearing with v-sync, so your fps will never pass monitor refresh rate, i've never had tearing in my entire life g-sync prevents stutter
I have had a freesync supported monitor for about a month and I only recently figured out how to enable freesync. dude, let me tell you, it's a different experience entirely. I mean yeah if you're pushing 300 FPS in your games its pointless, but if you play triple A games it's a great technology.
im really late but same video card and my monitor is 120hz and freesync compatible. works at 30 FPS and above (might support lower but I haven't tested). just make sure you cap your FPS 3-4 FPS lower than your refresh rate and disable vsync in the control panel and in game.
@@jef8278 Only if you choose the right FreeSync monitor. FreeSync performs differently between different monitors when paired with NVIDIA GPUs. That said, ghosting bugs the hell out of me, so I will always choose G-Sync.
It's not as simple as FreeSync having less of a range compared to G-Sync. That boils down to the individual monitor's specific implementation of FreeSync. Many older FreeSync monitors had a limited range, but most newer ones have just as good of a range as their G-Sync equivalents. G-Sync does perhaps have more consistency, but FreeSync has improved dramatically over the last few years on that front and is nearly identical now.
Actually the refresh rates on the higher end are just as high for both. G-sync allows down to 1hz sync while freesync will usually range from 30-45hz on the low end. Now that Nvidia allows freesync monitors to work with their gsync technology, there isn't really a downside to getting freesync. I personally own a 240hz freesync monitor and gsync was enabled automatically when I updated the drivers cleanly.
Video is titled vsync vs gsync, yet almost half in they haven't even touched the topic yet... I don't want to know what they both do generally does but which one does it better!

What have your experienced when using TWO monitors??? My max frame rate drops to the refresh rate of the monitor with the lowest refresh rate. One monitor is 60HZ and the other is 165HZ . If I unplug the 60HZ monitor from the graphics card, I get the up to 165 FPS. 580X graphics card. Has anyone else had isssues with using more than one monitor?
Wht if i pair freesync monitor with Nvidia graphics card....
who is the girl talking i love her voice
Weirdo
I’d be interested to know if there is a difference in performance with G-Sync on a freesync monitor like the 34GK950F vs G-Sync on a natively supported G-sync monitor like its 34GK950G counterpart (literally the same panel but with a native G-Sync module in it).
Connor Macloud there shoudn’t be any difference as far as it works correctly.
The Kelz So why there is a chio on it ? And why it s more expensive ?
Connor Macloud AMD made FreeSync free (thus the name FREEsync), while Nvidia decided to make it expensive. Just like Intel makes their processors more expensive than AMD and yet AMD offers a better performance overall (check the latest ones from AMD).
Long story short, it’s just Nvidia being Nvidia, making their products expensive.
total difference because there is not such thing as ''g-sync with freesync monitor'' !!!!!!!!!!
g-sync compatible = freesync with nvidia cards
g-sync still a exclusive nvidia's tecnology, so you need a gsync monitor + nvidia card to have g-sync
@@TheKelz g sync still the better technology since nividia actually puts money and time into developing their stuff 😂
please lower the background music next time. kills an informative video
Great video but you kept switching around the wording by saying "free sync and g sync" then saying "adaptive sync and v sync" i had to go back a couple times to understand what happened
G sync sucks bc when it’s a 144hz g sync monitor, it’s actually 141hz. G sync go down by 3 from what’s it actually suppose to be
Bruh free sync doesn’t do that
So freesync is better?
No g sync is better, 3 months ago I was retarded about this stuff but now I did my research and gsync is pretty much better if you have nvidia gpu’s, and what I said about the 141hz thing was fake
Freesync cause I'm broke to buy a gsync monitor
Its good for me to activate gsync if i always Can have the same fps than my monitor fréquences?
Yes. You want adaptive sync, to eliminate tearing. G-sync and Freesync does that.
Running at a higher FPS count than your moniter can cause screen tearing but you may find the latency of your game is reduced slightly
GameBox Vsync and gsync are best for more cinematic games, but you shouldnt have it on in comptetive games like rocket league, csgo or fortnite
@@chromechromechromechrome GSYNC and FreeSync can work perfectly fine in competitive games assuming you have a 120hz monitor or more. despite what sources on the internet tell you, GSYNC and FreeSync only add about 1ms of input lag assuming it's set up properly and you have vsync disabled entirely.
IMO I would rather freesync, as I play fast first person shooters that can use 120fps, but on the series s it won’t get that 100% of the time so I fear it would go down to 100, or even 60 fps, so adaptive refresh rate works perfect for me, I’ve had no problems so far with it.
you're describing vrr so gsync or freesync wouldnt even matter, just get a high refresh rate monitor and turn vsync on and be done with it
@@hofkingpin3216 yea man then what the difference between freesync capabilities and just vrr?
variable or adaptive refresh rate means your monitor can operate with a range of different refresh rates e.g. 60hz-240hz and it can switch up from whatever in that range. freesync is a way the "program" try to match the frames your gpu put out with the monitor refresh rate, so if your monitor can put out on 60 fps, but your gpu can put out a 100fps, then freesync will limit it to 60fps to match with your monitor display
this is essentially what vsync is already and its implemented in many games so you actually dont need a gsync or freesync monitor
Best, and most simple explanation soo far.
So, if i have amd with a g sync monitor didn't work how it normaly needs too ? Like, i don't wanna change my amd to change free sync to g sync.
FreeSync better if you have more then 80 frames :)
Freesync is also better if you have multiple monitors costs less
narrator voice is good for telling stuff.
The music has my full attention🤣🤣
Here's an idea , turn the stupid music OFF so what's being said can be heard .
1:25 Why would they make a GPU that is actively pushing for something that will result in a screen tearing? So, are they deliberately doing that, or they just don't know how to make a video card that would not do that?
Despite G-Sync having higher standards, they are still usually not worth the price difference ($150+).
You can get freesync to work with gsync gpus I got mine too.
I think Nvidia only support few freesync monitors
@@bamboo9666 they have an official list on their website (i think)
@@juhaojanpaa ya, it also work with few unsupported freesync monitors :v
If money isn't a problem, always go with G-sync.
I really like how they put code on the screen to display something people have a hard time understanding, that's fine... but then it's just HTML, lol. As if that's an actual programming language.
So basically if I'm getting between 30-60/70 fps I'm best picking a Freesync monitor?
@Mike AKA Patches there's no such thing as 4k consoles
@Mike AKA Patches it's only upscaled
Dave Evans pretty sure the xone x has native 4k lol
@@yinzassg6963 it can display native 4k, but not on games lol
@@daveevans9684 it does but the input lag is pretty bad
Is not real true . It exist 3 strains. Freesync ,a open version + amd freesync what fully works only with amd gpu's and gsync for nvidia gpu's.
I got the Alienware freesync 240hz moniter is it worth getting 2080 super would it reach its max potential
Even a 2080 ti would not give you 240hz in AAA games. If you are playing competitive shooter in some games like overwatch yes you will reach that potential.
Beast pc
So if i get new amd graphics card, can i use it with my g sync monitor? I have tried to find answer to this, but no one can freaking say it in short. Getting information overload and shortcircuiting my brain :D
Love your vids
How can you make such a video without noting that Nvidia cards will use FreeSync if the monitor doesn't support G-Sync (but DOES support FreeSync) while AMD cards cannot use G-Sync? The logical (and "objective") conclusion is that FreeSync is the clear winner ... G-Sync will probably fade away. Technologically more advanced - but who cares? I use Nvidia cards exclusively (recently bought three) but have no intention of ever paying extra for G-Sync.
Leifur Hákonarson so when get my nividia 1660 will that work on a freesync monitor thing is the monitor also supports g sync so Which is better ?
so no one is talking about how her flow was too good?
Would there be tearing if I get rtx 2070 with a 240hz monitor with G-sync
No, you won't if you enable G-Sync.
Edwin_Bro thanks for the help
GamingScan thanks for the help
I have an rtx 2060 would i get 240hz if i nought an alienware with freesync?aw2518hf
Would you recommended freesync on console or off and variable refresh on and off
Definitely on, there is probably a slight loss in energy efficiency, but that's 100% worth it.
@@LaughingOrange variable refresh also?
@@esportsmiyagi yes
It's not even compatible with console so it doesn't even have any effect. That's why PS4 and Xbox have that jittery look no matter what monitor you play on. Kind of sucks but maybe next gen we will have it compatible.
If you a AMD than is the better to use free sync. Because g-sync will not good working. Some games will not work or its not the best quality.
Gforce is better to use G-sync it is compatible with a G-sync monitor. If you use on a Gforce a free sync monitor it works but you will not works 100% . AMD free sync. Gforce G-sync
Good, concise explainer. Just what I wanted to start off with I think.
AMD's free sync is a good strategy since they sell mor gpus cus people will get the cheaper overall
I'm a little confused. I bought a monitor that supports FreeSync, yet I have just toggled on GSync via the Nvidia Control Panel? Does this mean it works anyway or is it just a flaw in the control panel?
Some free sync monitors are g sync compatible
Nice roundup.
Best video on this topic! thank you.
What tecnology does the ps5 use, free synk or g synk???, what monitor is best for ps5 ?
Free sync is superior because free sync monitors are cheaper.
so can i play on a 240hz moniter without a pc?

I have an AMD Radeon RX 6800, Do I have to buy a Freesync monitor? Thats all I want to know basically.
should the G-Sync an Freesync be both enabled on the same time?
lmfao basically... if your monitor can handle the framerate the video card pushes... then either of these technologies are really needed. It's pure gimmicks.
What? It removes tearing which no matter the framerate, you will get.
@@MT-zw1ti u can easely prevent tearing with v-sync, so your fps will never pass monitor refresh rate, i've never had tearing in my entire life
g-sync prevents stutter
I have had a freesync supported monitor for about a month and I only recently figured out how to enable freesync. dude, let me tell you, it's a different experience entirely. I mean yeah if you're pushing 300 FPS in your games its pointless, but if you play triple A games it's a great technology.
@@loyaltyneto v-sync adds a ton of input lag. freesync and gsync barely add 1ms of input lag.
I have a gtx 1660 super. The monitor i'm buying has AMD freesync is that ok???
Doesn't nvidia cards support Freesync now?
Make sure the monitor has a DisplayPort input though
Nope it's not. But it is with certain monitors. But it still has an fps cap. But g sync monitors doesn't which is a good thing and g sync is better
im really late but same video card and my monitor is 120hz and freesync compatible. works at 30 FPS and above (might support lower but I haven't tested). just make sure you cap your FPS 3-4 FPS lower than your refresh rate and disable vsync in the control panel and in game.
So which is better in a quick answer ?
freesync, you can use it for both amd and nvidia GPUs so you have the freedom to choose the GPU you want in the future
1st Acc oh thanks
@@jef8278 you're right!
@@jef8278 Only if you choose the right FreeSync monitor. FreeSync performs differently between different monitors when paired with NVIDIA GPUs. That said, ghosting bugs the hell out of me, so I will always choose G-Sync.
1st Acc remember to limit your refresh rate to your max refresh rate 144 or 165 or 240hz depends on your monitor
recape: free-sync cheap but has its few limits (not as high of refresh rate) g-sync more expensive with practically no limits
It's not as simple as FreeSync having less of a range compared to G-Sync. That boils down to the individual monitor's specific implementation of FreeSync. Many older FreeSync monitors had a limited range, but most newer ones have just as good of a range as their G-Sync equivalents. G-Sync does perhaps have more consistency, but FreeSync has improved dramatically over the last few years on that front and is nearly identical now.
Actually the refresh rates on the higher end are just as high for both. G-sync allows down to 1hz sync while freesync will usually range from 30-45hz on the low end.
Now that Nvidia allows freesync monitors to work with their gsync technology, there isn't really a downside to getting freesync.
I personally own a 240hz freesync monitor and gsync was enabled automatically when I updated the drivers cleanly.
@@drunkev Yeah but it doesn't really matter that they start at 30-48hz because all the good ones have LFR which makes them go way lower
Video is titled vsync vs gsync, yet almost half in they haven't even touched the topic yet...
I don't want to know what they both do generally does but which one does it better!

Can i have amd freesync on with my nividia gpu?
so if i have amd radeon graphics, geforce gtx and amd ryzen... Should i use free sync because of amd radeon graphics ? or
