Remember guys, Freesync also works with NVIDIA GPUs, while you can't use G-Sync on AMD ones. And, if you see tearing in the bottom of the monitor, freesync isn't working properly also :D Let me know what you think about this video!
Important to note for gaming TV users like me in particular lol: 10 series or higher Nvidia can use Freesync over display port only. Only AMD cards can do Freesync over HDMI.
Have you ever tried FreeSync + FPS limit -2/3 refresh rate (so 141/142 for 144hz, which I know you do. Use Chill with 142 min/max OR RTSS 142 limit, both work fine for me.) AND V-Sync ON. THIS solved all of my problems with ANY driver and I don't get bottom screen tearing anymore. Try it out if you haven't already! V-Sync ON only works in-game as the driver V-Sync only works for OpenGL, but you propably already know all of this :) Great great channel , you deserve more attention, keep it up! Greetings from Sicily! Edit: in the mentioned scenario, V-Sync will only allow for frametime compensation to work and so to eliminate the tearing, but it will NOT introduce lag since the fps cap prevent the V-Sync to kick in. Edit 2: all this is valid especially when your game often exceeds 142/144 FPS (in this case), otherwise the FPS cap would not be necessary BUT V-Sync will still help with tearing. Let me know what you think!
Ya brother i too have lots of tearing issue with my 5700xt in 20.9.1 version i am using display port? Freesync works perfectly in display port or HDMI?
@@AncientGameplays curious, did they sent some? really good explanation, opened this just to check whether you know about the additional input lag which freesync provides and you did knew about it, so nice job :3 , but yes Vsync is much more painful, if let's say freesync and gsync can add as low at 15~20ms, and enhanced sync as low as ~35ms , Vsync can add 80, 120, and in some super rare cases even a whole second (so far saw such a disaster only in 2 games, one was some random indie horror game, another one was some alpha game with minecraft-like textures) , ,never tried nvi's fast sync but i assume it adds around the same ms as the enhanced sync of amd ^the following numbers are heavily based on the game, but that gives the rough estimate, assuming it will be helpful to the peeps which may read my comment from personal findings for cfx users - enhanced sync can remove 99%* of the stuttering in some games which have the stutter on every movement/camera movement , freesync can not * - by 99% i mean that instead of every movement/movement of the camera it will happen like once a minute or two also rivatuner statistics server tool have it's own kind of the "boosted vsync" with the name of scanline sync, i once tested it and was pretty happy with the results, but kinda forgot what they were
Also, many monitors have an on screen framerate counter that tells you exactly what the frame rate is on the monitor side. If that is in sync with the game fps, than freesync/gsync is working.
Fun fact, only with the latest driver, Freesync finally works with my GTX 1070ti place holder and my new b550 system! The LG 34UC88 that is my monitor, woks with every Radeon card I've ever used. Never had a Navi 1 tho... The loading screen flickering is always there, with whatever card.

@@AncientGameplays great video very informative. Just one question. If you have above your monitors refresh rate in fps at all times, does freesync matter? I always have it enabled except in csgo because I don't think it's necessary right? And it adds small input lag no?

Awesome job on the explanation, finally got my black screening sorted, just a heads up, somehow my monitor settings glitched. I have multiple monitors, if I gamed on my 2560x1080 freesync monitor it black screened, always thought it was the driver. Then I used my other monitors as main screen for gaming, no issues. Reset my freesync monitor in the monitor setting, worked like a charm. Then enabled freesync, works like it supposed to now. And congrats on the free stuff from AMD, its nice to see AMD cares about the little guy! Well deserved!
nice video! I recently realized also that I was getting tearing sometimes because I didn't cap the fps below the refresh rate. There were times there was no tearing, there were times that there was tearing.

Please correct me if I am wrong, freesync will not lock the fps to match your monitor max fps and will on the other hand reduce the input lag, eliminate screen tearing, and make the experience much smoother...?
I have a question, i have a 75hz monitor with freesync so if I turned on freesync then will the Fps stay in range of 75 or it can go above or if it can go above it will the screen tearing appears?
Last week I picked up a Viotek 34” ultrawide Freesync monitor and had horrible stutters no matter what I done on a particular game (it happened to be my favorite game). I lowered the refresh from 100 to 75Hz and enabled Freesync on monitor, and enabled Vsync and Gsync in Nvidia control panel. I now have smoother gameplay than I’ve ever had locked at 75 FPS (100 hz caused some flashing in game) and surprisingly no additional lag, which I was worried about. I’ve also been able to run higher graphics than I ever have. I know that Viotek isn’t listed as one of the 12 approved monitors, but I’m shocked at how well it works for me.
Hmm... So to find out if FreeSync works or not we have to rely on our subjective feeling whether there is tearing/stuttering or no. Not really reliable if you ask me. Aren't there any tests that clearly indicate "Yes, FreeSync is working" or "No, FreeSync is not working"?
I mean, it is not subjective. If tearing exists you can clearly see it.....also, there are some tests like the ones i show in the video. Nvidias pendulum tests, and that windmill test in the video
Thanks Fabio this is exactly how I try to use it and it was nice to confirm this is how it’s used. Btw certain games like fortnite imo only work well with higher frames due to FPS drops. So for that game I turn freesync off and run at 160 FPSon my 144. A friend of mine has a 240 and he can set freesync on fine with the frames capped to 237. Seems like the title can affect the effectiveness of the feature. Thanks
I understand you have to cap your max framerate -3 hz of your monitor but how do I set its minimum framerate from Radeon Chill? Let say my monitor refresh rate ranged from 40-75 hz (LG 24MP59G), so should I put 40 on minimum framerate or can I put lower than that? Thanks in advance!
@@AncientGameplays so I can even put 1 on minimum? I'm a bit confused about this particular setting and I want the most optimized setting I can make use of my monitor & GPU.
What is the better option between "Free Sync Enabled and Capped at 140 without Enhanced Sync" or "Free Sync Disabled and Capped 10% below drops while still able to produce double FPS to refresh rate with Enhanced Sync". Both options work most of the time while the Free Sync Enabled option has lots of Display Frame Drops to numbers like 127fps and the Enhanced Sync feels like it has micro stutter while the frames run 'stable' at 288+ fps.
@@AncientGameplays After a lot of trail and error I can say that I do agree that freesync runs A LOT better when the frames are limited the right way. I've had tearing with the in-engine limiter set to 140 or 143 turns out that the engine had a config value "FullScreenRefresh = "144"" that had was slightly higher than the 143.981 Hz that my display can show and that was why I've had to use enhanched sync. Now the config is set to the right values and the enhanced sync is disabled I can notice faster mouse inputs and the clear vision without tearing is absolutely amazing! Thanks for the comprehensive information in your video's about AMD!
@@AncientGameplays sorry, just did. I was wondering because I have stuttering and the chill doesn't work properly on star wars fallen order. Trying to get rid most of the stutter and lag.
@@ReXora25 V sync and Freesync can work together. You need to activate V Sync and Freesync, put -2 FPS below your max refresh rate. This ensures Freesync works all the time, and when you get below your minimum freesync range, you dont get tearing since thats when V sync will start doing its job.
@@AncientGameplays Is there any explanation to why it's ghosting hard when freesync 2 is enabled? Without freesync I don't get any ghosting at all on 165Hz
Do you have any videos measuring the actual latency? I can't find anyone with a solid AMD video testing latency and input lag with various freesync settings, Radeon Chill, framerate caps, vsync, vsync+freesync+radeon anti lag, etc.
i have a 60hz laptop with amd freesync and my gpu is nvidia gtx 1650 how do i cap my fps???nvidia control panel?cause amd raedon chill is not working for me i tried global and ingame both but still it doesn't work. Can anyone please help me?
I'm still getting some screen tearing using Radion Chill and sometimes FPS is hitting the freesync ceiling. What is the best option for me to have less tearing? 7900xtx with LG oled (120hz) thanks
@@AncientGameplays I watched it, but the thing with Ps5 is that it doesn't support VRR (not yet) so many suggest that AMD Freesync should be turned off, so that leaves me still wondering
W8 if u have like over 72 fps on 75 Hz monitor with freesync for example let's say like over 120+fps does freesync still work or not? because I have a 75 hz monitor and I like to play games at the highest possible fps because of the better response and less lag
@@AncientGameplays yes I noticed when my fps drops I feel stuttering but idk what is better to lock fps for freesync or leave it uncapped for a better input lag, response etc... In multiplayer games
I know it's all smooth when your freesync is on but different between 75fps and 144 or more fps depending on your pc are huge advantage In shooter games I got decent pc but my monitor is bad only 75hz
my monitor have freesync of first generation from 2014-2015* thats why rx5700 series had black screens freesync premium solved i found out with other ppl do i need a fixed Framerate for Vsync what if its Variable ?
I'm standing in front of a big decision right now... Should I sell my LG OLED C9 without freesync and buy the C1 with freesync or keep it and don't matter... I've got a RX 6900 XT and have to use v-sync in games to avoid tearing. Is it worth to upgrade? 🤔 I will watch you're video and think about it. THX
Question: Is it possible to use freesync without AMD Radeon software? Radeon software causes me system instability so I only use the drivers. Monitor will arrive next week, just want to know if it will work from simply activating it on the monitor.
Hey man, there is no reason for the Radeon kit to cause instability, if you have everything set up correctly (like chipset drivers and so on), but it should work yeah
@@AncientGameplays It's a used R9 390. I couldn't load Fallout 4 without getting a black screen then a notification that Radeon Wattman detected an unexpected system failure. I did a clean install of new drivers without the Radeon software and it works.
@@AncientGameplays like your playing at 150+ fps and on certain ocasions the fps may drop to 110/120 and you lose that smoothness, does it really help not noticing the fps loss or just the screen tearing ?
@@darth420vader i was asking before buying a freesync monitor, but i can confirm it really does help no noticing the transition to lower fps like 144 to 110 or 120
@@bindxpoxt oh that makes more sense now, yeah dude get one. I have had issues with screen tearing especially on Doom Eternal and Freesync fixes that and smooths out the graphics

Man, i have a very important question. I have basic freesync (not premium). Does (should) it work in all games or only in games with support for this tech?
@@AncientGameplays Thanks for the fast answer. It's strange, because freesync works ideal in shadow of the tomb raider and AC odyssey, but in fifa 21 replays became a bit laggy and in sinking city just nothing happenes (game is shit in optimization on any settings). r5-3600+rx5700xt+16ram-3400cl14
@@AncientGameplays looks like sinking city was permanently locked on 60, doesn't matter what you do...and yeah, a lot of stutters (60-40-60-1-60-45-20-60)
I have a 165hz monitor with freesync. When I have freesync enabled I get stutter. When I disable it the game runs smooth no stuttering. Is this a symptom of broken freesync because of driver issues?
Hey if I have freesync enabled, do you know if I should I disable Variable Refresh Rate in the windows settings, just not sure if messes with freesync.
Overdrive eliminates the "motion blur" effect caused at higher refresh rates. The higher the overdrive, the smoother the picture at the cost of what is called ghosting. Ghosting is when for a brief second you can see part of the previous pixels that made up the image. So if say a character moved their hand, you might see what appears to be a ghost hand of the original spot trailing the new spot in the new frame. Its personal preference, but I usually set mine at a medium.
Just to add to watch the minimum FPS count in order to stay on the freesync range. My monitor has 48 as limit so if you drop below it it will stop working. And yeah my monitor isn't so great 48-75 FS range, but my 1070 made it work even worse. Randomly and with a lot of issues. With amd everything works smooth since I swapped the nVidia, mostly because of this.

And what is the purpose of "Enhanced V-SYNC"? As it works with both Freesync and non-Freesync monitors. Could be a Freesync "for the poor" if it is used on a non-Freesync monitor? I personally use it with "Anti-Lag" and it seems to work fine.
Enchanced sync, is an "improved" V-Sync let's say and can be used above screen's refresh rate, but although it will avoid tearing, it won't be near as smooth as freesync (in its range)
Hi brother a couple questions, 1) what's s the diference Básic Fressyc And extensible?(mi LG show me thsts options) And 2) i need to get on Enhanced sync on to?, My mision is not drop fps for competitive like fortnite And csgo. 3) why no cap in 144fps And 141? And last 4) the freesync forcé the monitor o gpu for more work= less life of the productos?, Sorry My English, cya
@@Papibife one time or another you will go above. Just because you don't see the fps bouncing in terms of seconds, doesn't mean they don't bounce at all. Sometimes, they will bounce really fast, and not even the software can notice it, that is why if you want smoothness and no tearing, cap it at -3.

@@AncientGameplays so I can even put 1 on minimum? I'm a bit confused about this particular setting and I want the most optimized setting I can make use of my monitor & GPU.
Put max and min to the same, its the best. Ignore the min
@@AncientGameplays got it! Thanks for the tips and good luck hunting that RX 6800 XT! Hope scalpers die in Covid when those GPUs start launching.
What is the better option between "Free Sync Enabled and Capped at 140 without Enhanced Sync" or "Free Sync Disabled and Capped 10% below drops while still able to produce double FPS to refresh rate with Enhanced Sync". Both options work most of the time while the Free Sync Enabled option has lots of Display Frame Drops to numbers like 127fps and the Enhanced Sync feels like it has micro stutter while the frames run 'stable' at 288+ fps.
I personally would never use enhanced sync over freesync
@@AncientGameplays After a lot of trail and error I can say that I do agree that freesync runs A LOT better when the frames are limited the right way. I've had tearing with the in-engine limiter set to 140 or 143 turns out that the engine had a config value "FullScreenRefresh = "144"" that had was slightly higher than the 143.981 Hz that my display can show and that was why I've had to use enhanched sync. Now the config is set to the right values and the enhanced sync is disabled I can notice faster mouse inputs and the clear vision without tearing is absolutely amazing! Thanks for the comprehensive information in your video's about AMD!
Should I enable variable refresh rate on windows settings?
Bro i still don't quite understand one thing xD
is G-Sync/FreeSync Features in Nvidia/AMD Pannel, or a monitor that uses these features?
Both monitor and gpus use the feature in order for it to work properly. Monitor has to support it, almost all monitors and gpus nowadays do
@@AncientGameplays got it, thanks
Im still confused, i have 240hz monitor with dp1.2 and a 5700 gpu.
What exactly do i need to set right so the freesync function will work properly?
Anything below 237 and you're fi e
Thx for the video!
Thanks for watching
Is it possible for my monitor to have both AMD freesync and gsync? If it is possible what should I do? Should I activate both at the same time?
Is v-sync different from freesync and do they work together or conflict with one another?
Watch the video my man...
@@AncientGameplays sorry, just did. I was wondering because I have stuttering and the chill doesn't work properly on star wars fallen order. Trying to get rid most of the stutter and lag.
@@ReXora25 V sync and Freesync can work together. You need to activate V Sync and Freesync, put -2 FPS below your max refresh rate. This ensures Freesync works all the time, and when you get below your minimum freesync range, you dont get tearing since thats when V sync will start doing its job.
Now this is great explaination.. clear and simple to understand..
Thanks!
The monitor I'm planning to buy said it Has FreeSync Premium....You didnt mention that?
Thats freesync 2
@@AncientGameplays Is there any explanation to why it's ghosting hard when freesync 2 is enabled?
Without freesync I don't get any ghosting at all on 165Hz
I have 165 hz monitor can i use option where to choose refresh rate like 120 and i put lockcfps to 117
No, just use the normsl 165hz and lock to 120 dor example, no issues there 💪💪
Do you have any videos measuring the actual latency? I can't find anyone with a solid AMD video testing latency and input lag with various freesync settings, Radeon Chill, framerate caps, vsync, vsync+freesync+radeon anti lag, etc.
i have a 60hz laptop with amd freesync and my gpu is nvidia gtx 1650 how do i cap my fps???nvidia control panel?cause amd raedon chill is not working for me i tried global and ingame both but still it doesn't work. Can anyone please help me?
What? How did you install amd software on a nvidia gpu lol
The oficial demo from amd also works to check if freesync is working?
Yeap
I'm still getting some screen tearing using Radion Chill and sometimes FPS is hitting the freesync ceiling. What is the best option for me to have less tearing? 7900xtx with LG oled (120hz) thanks
Lock the fps to 115 for example. You can try using frame rate target control as well
i dont see tearing below 120fps in 120hz and my monitor doesnt have sync tech, what makes it tear? is it monitor dependent? (2233rz)
Then you are certainly using some sync tech i assure you
I have an LG CX TV and the Ps5, If I turn AMD Freesync on will it downgrade anything?
Watch the video and you'll have your answer...
@@AncientGameplays I watched it, but the thing with Ps5 is that it doesn't support VRR (not yet) so many suggest that AMD Freesync should be turned off, so that leaves me still wondering
W8 if u have like over 72 fps on 75 Hz monitor with freesync for example let's say like over 120+fps does freesync still work or not? because I have a 75 hz monitor and I like to play games at the highest possible fps because of the better response and less lag
Yeah, it wont work since it is out of range. Will work up to 75hz, bit we do lock it at 72fps to maintain smoothness
@@AncientGameplays yes I noticed when my fps drops I feel stuttering but idk what is better to lock fps for freesync or leave it uncapped for a better input lag, response etc... In multiplayer games
I know it's all smooth when your freesync is on but different between 75fps and 144 or more fps depending on your pc are huge advantage In shooter games I got decent pc but my monitor is bad only 75hz
Do you know what tools can be used to test properly freesync?
There are some software like NVIDIA pendulum and so on. But the best one is your eyes :D
I have a hp monito that supports freesync 75 hz does 1660 super able to do freesync
Yeap it is

Always leave vsync off and put a frame limit instead
I'm standing in front of a big decision right now... Should I sell my LG OLED C9 without freesync and buy the C1 with freesync or keep it and don't matter... I've got a RX 6900 XT and have to use v-sync in games to avoid tearing. Is it worth to upgrade? 🤔
I will watch you're video and think about it. THX
Well, oled is top notch in everything, you just need to be aware of burn in. But freesync is a must nowadays my friend
could I use Freesync with a Nvidia GPU with HDMI? Or is it only compatible with displayport.
I think you can. Not sure tho

yo man, when you say the transition to a lower fps is undetecable, is going from 150s to 110s fps big to be noticible ?
Unless it is really fast, yeah, you won't notice tearing
@@AncientGameplays like your playing at 150+ fps and on certain ocasions the fps may drop to 110/120 and you lose that smoothness, does it really help not noticing the fps loss or just the screen tearing ?
@@bindxpoxt Don't over think it. FPS drops are not as noticeable as screen tearing. If Freesync works for you then use it.

Is freesync or 1ms good for ps5 monitor?
Hey if I have freesync enabled, do you know if I should I disable Variable Refresh Rate in the windows settings, just not sure if messes with freesync.
No, just leave it enabled :D
I have a sceptre monitor it has a overdrive option above freesync, should overdrive be on or off ?
Overdrive eliminates the "motion blur" effect caused at higher refresh rates. The higher the overdrive, the smoother the picture at the cost of what is called ghosting. Ghosting is when for a brief second you can see part of the previous pixels that made up the image. So if say a character moved their hand, you might see what appears to be a ghost hand of the original spot trailing the new spot in the new frame. Its personal preference, but I usually set mine at a medium.
@@austin_colt bro thanks ! 🙏 I’m definitely turning it on
Just to add to watch the minimum FPS count in order to stay on the freesync range. My monitor has 48 as limit so if you drop below it it will stop working. And yeah my monitor isn't so great 48-75 FS range, but my 1070 made it work even worse. Randomly and with a lot of issues. With amd everything works smooth since I swapped the nVidia, mostly because of this.
Great to know. Also, you can overclock those limits
Does free sync work on a Nvidia GPU how to enable it on in the control panel

Nice~! Well, thought out video and helpful for first timers who want to purchase new gaming monitors for their amd gpus.
That was the point man :D
Bro should i use freesync on or off for less input delay ?
Freesync adds a bit input lag, but is worth it. Watch the video
And what is the purpose of "Enhanced V-SYNC"? As it works with both Freesync and non-Freesync monitors. Could be a Freesync "for the poor" if it is used on a non-Freesync monitor? I personally use it with "Anti-Lag" and it seems to work fine.
Enchanced sync, is an "improved" V-Sync let's say and can be used above screen's refresh rate, but although it will avoid tearing, it won't be near as smooth as freesync (in its range)
