This creates screen tearing (picture above). However, sometimes the GPU will send excess frames to the display while the monitor is still displaying the previous refresh cycle. In short, the GPU renders the frames and sends them to the display, which then refreshes those frames a certain number of times (60 times if it’s a 60Hz monitor, etc.) to create the picture.
In order to understand how FreeSync works and what it does, you need to know how a monitor and a graphics card communicate with each other to create an image. You can also use FreeSync with compatible Xbox consoles over HDMI and NVIDIA graphics cards (GTX 10-series or newer) over DisplayPort on FreeSync and G-SYNC Compatible monitors.
To take advantage of the benefits provided by AMD FreeSync technology, users will need a FreeSync-compatible monitor and a FreeSync-compatible AMD graphics card ( Radeon R9/R7 200-series or newer – excluding the R9 270/X, R9 280/X, R9 370/X, R7 370X and R7 265 models). With AMD FreeSync, you will not get screen tearing or visual latency, which you typically get from having V-SYNC enabled. Keep in mind that Adaptive Sync and Adaptive-Sync (with space in-between or a hyphen) refer to the general variable refresh rate operation and protocols, whereas AdaptiveSync relates to VESA’s certification program regarding VRR performance validation.
What Is FreeSync?įreeSync is based on VESA’s Adaptive-Sync protocols of the DisplayPort interface, which AMD later implemented over HDMI as well.
AMD FreeSync synchronizes a compatible monitor’s refresh rate (Hz) with a compatible graphics card’s frame rate (FPS).Īs a result, screen tearing and stuttering are eliminated within the supported variable refresh rate range of the display.ĪMD Radeon FreeSync technology provides a variable refresh rate (VRR), which allows the refresh rate of a monitor to change dynamically and in synchronization with the frame rate of a graphics card.
