When you’re building your gaming PC, picking a monitor with a variable refresh rate technology is a necessity. For systems with most AMD graphics cards as well as certain NVIDIA GPUs, FreeSync monitors can meet that requirement. With FreeSync, your monitor and compatible GPU can synchronise frames to ensure that problems like screen tearing and stuttering do not occur. To avoid stuttering, lag and screen-tearing, a FreeSync monitor adjusts its refresh rate to match the output framerate of the GPU. Without FreeSync, these issues can impact your gaming experience significantly. While FreeSync is meant for AMD GPUs, most NVIDIA 10 series or later GPUs should work. But for complete assurance on compatibility, if you have an NVIDIA GPU, look for a FreeSync monitor with NVIDIA's 'G-Sync Compatible' certification on it. To pick the right FreeSync monitor for your gaming setup, here are some of the most popular options to consider. In addition to FreeSync support, these monitors come with impressive specifications and useful features.
