What is AMD FreeSync technology?

Asked 2 years ago
AMD FreeSync technology is an adaptive synchronization technology developed by Advanced Micro Devices, designed to enhance the gaming experience by eliminating screen tearing and stuttering. It is particularly beneficial for gamers because it synchronizes the refresh rate of a compatible monitor with the frame rate output of an AMD graphics card. This synchronization allows for a smoother gaming experience, especially during fast-paced action. FreeSync works by dynamically adjusting the refresh rate of the monitor in real-time to match the frame rate generated by the graphics card. When the frame rate fluctuates, FreeSync can respond accordingly, providing a seamless visual experience and reducing artifacts that can occur during gaming sessions. This technology is supported by a variety of displays and is widely appreciated for its affordability compared to other technologies, such as Nvidia's G-Sync. In addition to gaming, FreeSync can enhance the overall visual quality in video playback and general computing tasks. Users can check the current AMD website for more information about FreeSync, including compatible displays and the technology's specific features.
