G-Sync on a Free-Sync Monitor

[snuffy]

It seems you can (or might at least) be able to use G-Sync if you have a Free-Sync monitor:

One of my monitors has Free-Sync but when I tried it it did not work. Still, worth a squint if you have one.

Yeh as long as your using a 10 series (or newer) nvidia card with the very latest drivers it should work as far as I'm aware.

Could be an expensive gamble if it does not work, unless you can borrow one for testing

yes, a 10 or 20 series. Doesn't work on my 2060 with an AOC free-sync monitor.

I just happen to have a freesync monitor which I bought not for freesync so I had nothing to lose. Not that it works on mine, but nothing to lose in giving it a try.

At the moment there are only about a dozen FreeSync monitors that have been tested by Nvidia and certified as being compatible. All the others either don't work or haven't been tested yet:

These are the ones that work:

There is a Google sheets which lots of people have contributed to, detailing what monitors are compatible plus any issues they encountered.
I've just bought the Acer CZ350CK as that's shown to be compatible.

It's not a complete list, so check out websites for recent reviews or other monitors (that's how I know mine is compatible)

I think I've got mine working now by changing some settings after looking at that google docs things.
