The Xbox Series X, on the other hand, supports both HDMI Forum VRR and FreeSync. It's part of HDMI 2.1 certification and is the only VRR format that the PlayStation 5 supports. Most graphics cards and monitors support at least FreeSync or G-SYNC, if not both, but HDMI Forum VRR is relatively new and isn't available on as many devices. They all present the same advantages for a nearly tear-free gaming experience, and the differences between them are on supported devices.

If we have any doubts, we'll check with a few games to ensure it's working with real content.Īs mentioned earlier, there are different types of VRR formats, and the most common ones now are FreeSync, G-SYNC, and HDMI Forum VRR. We don't specify if it has a standard G-SYNC certification or G-SYNC Ultimate, as both are considered the same for this testing.įor this test, we ensure G-SYNC is enabled from the NVIDIA Control Panel and use the NVIDIA Pendulum Demo to ensure G-SYNC is working correctly. Instead of listing them as G-SYNC Compatible in the 'Set up G-SYNC page', Native monitors are identified as simply 'G-SYNC Capable' below the monitor name. Like with certified G-SYNC compatible monitors, G-SYNC is automatically enabled on Native devices. Some high refresh rate monitors also support the NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer to measure the latency of your entire setup. They can dynamically adjust their overdrive to match the content, ensuring a consistent gaming experience. Yes (Native): Displays that natively support G-SYNC have a few extra features when paired with an NVIDIA graphics card. We use the Pendulum Demo and check games to see if there are any noteworthy issues or oddities.Ī native G-SYNC Display - Dell Alienware AW2721D Most of the time, this works only over DisplayPort, but with newer GPUs, it's also possible to enable G-SYNC over HDMI with a few monitors and TVs, but these are relatively rare. G-SYNC will automatically be enabled for a certified compatible display, and it'll say 'G-SYNC Compatible' under the monitor name. The simplest way to validate that a display is officially G-SYNC compatible is to check the 'Set up G-SYNC' menu from the NVIDIA Control Panel. NVIDIA tests them for compatibility issues and only certifies displays that work perfectly out of the box, but they lack the G-SYNC hardware module found on native G-SYNC monitors. On certified displays, G-SYNC is automatically enabled when connected to at least a 10-series NVIDIA card over DisplayPort.

This test is part of a bigger test where we look at its refresh rate range and different types of VRR support. We test every monitor with an NVIDIA graphics card to see which type of G-SYNC it has, whether native or compatible. Before 2019, only G-SYNC monitors worked with NVIDIA graphics cards, but since then, monitors that natively support AMD's FreeSync VRR feature can still work with NVIDIA graphics cards thanks to the G-SYNC Compatibility feature. For VRR to work, the monitor has to be compatible with your graphics card's VRR feature. There are different types of VRR produced by different companies, and one is NVIDIA's G-SYNC feature. This helps reduce screen tearing and helps to provide a smooth gaming experience. One of those is variable refresh rate (VRR) support which matches the refresh rate of your monitor with the frame rate of your source, even if the frame rate drops.

Monitor manufacturers have come up with new technology in recent years to improve your gaming experience.
