[#Steeven.™]

When we use our PC to play, in addition to good graphics and good components on the PC, we must also have a good monitor. Monitors generally have high refresh rates for action games and low response times, but we must also check that our monitor has some technology that allows the images sent by the graphics to be synchronized with it. This is in the case of NVIDIA known as G-SYNC and in AMD it is called FreeSync, in this guide we are going to focus on How to know if your Monitor is compatible with FreeSync.

AMD has built on the VESA Adaptive Sync standard to create its own technology that synchronizes the images output from the graphics card to the monitor. To be eligible for this technology, it is enough for the monitor to comply with this standard and include Adaptive Sync, something that will also be useful for you to be able to use the compatibility with NVIDIA G-SYNC in the event that you have an NVIDIA graphics card. But AMD does not have this limitation, you can use its FreeSync technology with its graphics or with graphics from other brands, no problem.

With the passage of time, FreeSync has also been improving, although it is not a technology that requires specific or additional hardware, through software they have been adapting to the new times and new technologies that allow the full potential of the new hardware that is coming out to be squeezed. market. For this there are 3 versions of its technology:

• FreeSync, which offers a seamless experience and low latency.
• FreeSync Premium, in addition to the features included in FreeSync, must have at least a 120Hz refresh rate at FHD resolution and support Low Frame Rate Compensation (LFC).
• FreeSync Premium Pro includes all the features of FreeSync Premium plus adds low latency SDR and HDR and certified HDR support for color and brightness.

If your monitor has any of these options, the ideal thing is that you enable it to be able to enjoy them.
