Assuming this guy?

First point would be to confirm the monitor, so we know if it actually supports FreeSync.

The one I linked, does. But there may be others that do not.

There's a variety of reasons, and potential fixes. Remove/reinstall Crimson software would be my starting point.

There are some quirks though. For example, BenQ monitors have "blur reduction", which is not compatible with FreeSync, so needs to be off.
Not aware of anything Samsung specific, but certainly a possibility for some setting like that too.

Not supported. They didn't introduce Freesync until GCN 2nd gen. You have a 1st Gen GPU.

R9-290/290X and the later released R9-285 are supported. And some lesser GPUs are supported like the R7-260 and R7-260X.
