    Question 1080 TI or RX6600 with 1440p AMD Free Sync Monitor

    Question 1080 TI or RX6600 with 1440p AMD Free Sync Monitor

Is adaptive sync just another name for Free Sync? The 1080 TI should be able to use it either way right? Your...

    Hello, I recently purchased a 1080 TI to upgrade my aging system (FX8100 + 16 GB ram + RX 570 - 8GB). However it just dawned on me that I have a 32" 1440p AMD Free Sync monitor. I have a RX6600 that I could swap the 1080 TI for (funny enough they were about the same price, my brother has the...
