As a gamer who values image quality, you might be interested in learning about Freesync technology. FreeSync is a type of adaptive synchronization technology for LCD displays. It helps displays eliminate screen tearing, stuttering and juddering by synchronizing the monitor’s refresh rate with the framerate from the GPU (the processing unit of a graphics card). When a monitor is equipped with Freesync, it gains a variable refresh rate (VRR) which matches the framerate of your AMD graphics card. With Freesync, you can enjoy the optimal framerate your graphics card can achieve.

As the second generation of the Freesync Technology, Freesync 2 can be found in newer gaming monitors. Both FreeSync and FreeSync 2 reduce tearing and stuttering, but FreeSync 2, combining HDR support with variable refresh rate technology, offers a smoother gameplay by “twice the perceptual color space of sRGB for better brightness and contrast. ” Gamers can check the picture below to see how Freesync 2 renders the images. If you are a gamer who wants to enjoy HDR effect, a Freesync 2 monitor is the one for you.
