Wondering how to use G-Sync on a FreeSync monitor? There's a long list of support monitors, but you'll have to jump through some hoops to get it working.

A driver update will soon turn on G-Sync support for other variable refresh monitors.

G-Sync and FreeSync are their common names, but the technology underlying Nvidia and AMD’s implementations is typically known as “adaptive synchronization,” or “adaptive sync” for short.

One of the big surprises at CES came when Nvidia announced it would be bringing G-Sync support to FreeSync monitors with an upcoming driver update for GeForce graphics card owners.

Adaptive sync tech like FreeSync and G-Sync are key to gaming with variable refresh rates, but they have their differences that are worth knowing.

What is G-Sync or FreeSync? Both technologies are designed to be used with monitors that support variable rather than fixed refresh rates.

Essentially, Nvidia is going to allow a G-Sync Lite experience, without the expensive dedicated G-Sync hardware, for a host of AMD FreeSync-compatible monitors.

It's rare to see the same monitor go head-to-head with itself in both a FreeSync and a G-Sync configuration, but that's what we've got here. Who wins?

Just got a hot new G-Sync monitor to go with your NVIDIA GPU? Here's how to enable sweet, tear-free gaming on your PC and make sure you're always gaming on the right display.

Nvidia has announced it will be releasing a driver that will enable its version of variable refresh rate technology - G-Sync - to work on monitors that have until now only supported its rival AMD ...

We're comparing FreeSync vs G Sync to see how these two variable refresh rate technologies look in comparison to one another.
