When it comes to gaming monitors, we often encounter the term \u201cFreeSync\u201d and\nhow it improves gameplay, especially for FPS games. As the games and technology\nlevel up every year, so as this feature. So, let\u2019s take our time to get to know\nwhat it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WHAT IS FREESYNC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n FreeSync is AMD\u2019s solution to eliminate \u201cscreen tearing\u201d during gameplay – by\nsyncing your monitor and your graphics card to ensure smooth framerates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Screen tearing appears as the horizontal line\/s across your monitor screen\nthat occurs when either your graphics card is producing more frames than your\nmonitor\u2019s capabilities OR when the monitor (Hz) refreshes too fast and your\ngraphics card can\u2019t catch up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FREESYNC PREMIUM AND PREMIUM PRO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now we know what FreeSync does to our computers, so what does its other\ntiers offer aside from preventing screen tearing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE PREMIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Introduced on the year 2020, this tier retains all the features FreeSync has\nto offer and with an additional innovation, which is the LFC or low framerate\ncompensation. When the framerate of the game goes below the minimum supported\nrefresh rate, these frames will be displayed multiple times to remain in the\nsupported refresh rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The downside, is that this feature may not work with HDR turned on \u2013 which brings\nus to the highest tier, Premium Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE PREMIUM PRO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Also known as FreeSync 2, this tier now adds HDR capabilities for supported\ngames and displays. As the game evolves in terms of graphics, there has been\nmore demand for a more immersive visual gaming experience, and FreeSync Premium\nPro made it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OUR THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For hardcore gamers and pro esports athletes, one screen tear may change the\noutcome of a competitive game. Making sure that your gaming monitor and\ngraphics card is compatible and synced with one another is a MUST and needs to\nbe taken care of as long as you have the budget to get the necessary upgrades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When it comes to gaming monitors, we often encounter the term \u201cFreeSync\u201d and how it improves gameplay, especially for FPS games.
