[kingoftheproz]

Does anyone know if this monitor has freesync over hdmi on xboxone x

Only via DisplayPort

**Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync) technology supported within 40~60Hz for DP only

Okay will this make me be able to use free sync https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323174742345

No... I don't believe so.

The monitor would need to believe the source is DP, but the XBO would need to believe it's going HDMI-HDMI.
Neither strike me as achievable goals.

SO whats the actual difference between freesync over hdmi and freesync over displayport ? does that mean ill get 4k@30hz with freesync over displayport

Functionally, there's no difference. FreeSync, is FreeSync.

BUT, with an HDMI out from the XBOne to HDMI on the monitor (or an HDMI to DP passive adapter), you'll either achieve 4K @ 60Hz without Freesync (if the XBO is HDMI2.0) or 4K @ 30Hz (if it's 1.4).


You need a monitor that specifically supports FreeSync over HDMI.
