[SOLVED] Adaptive/free/G/sync

I have a Ryzen 5 3600 and a Gigabyte Radeon rx 5700xt, i Would like to buy the VG27AQ from Asus because my GPu has freesync capability.

TUF Gaming monitors are ideal for competitive gamers on a budget, delivering a carefully selected set of high-end gaming features at palatable prices. Immaculate visuals are now within reach.

However, on the product info spec list, only adaptive sync and g sync is listed. Is this monitor worth the money i'll be spending on it, will it work?

It's Freesync but Gsync compatible, as in Nvidia cards can run Freesync via Displayport.

So just to be very clear, this monitor does indeed have free sync and my GPU and monitor will work in conjunction perfectly?

Yep. See special features in the specs table.

And to be VERY, very clear you MUST use Displayport. Right?

Now I need to check that laptop to see if it has Displayport "out". I'm betting it doesn't, and a HDMI to Displayport cable will NOT allow the adaptive sync to work.

If your laptop has USBc video capable port, you can use that for native Displayport functionality.

Should start your own thread though.

Thanks, that's all I was wondering. Nope, sorry, I asked you another question as well. I thought since I found this thread that others would find it as well and have the same questions.
