Question Asus VG248QE G-Sync upgraded Monitor and AMD

[Joshontech]

I have the Asus VG248QE and have updated it with a g-sync board that nvidia offered a while ago. The monitor still runs at 144hz and 1ms refresh but it obviously now has g-sync capabilities. Does anyone know how this monitor will work with an AMD GPU? I am looking to go team red because I have (since getting the monitor and nvidia gpu) moved onto a linux platform. I would now like to take advantage of the open source drivers for AMD Linux has to offer. Since this monitor is a g-sync monitor will it still be able to run at 144hz with the AMD GPU? I am also assuming the AMD free-sync wont work with this monitor either I am fine with using V-Sync in my games if necessary but if free-sync could work it would be nice.

Yes, it will work like any normal 144 Hz monitor. You are correct FreeSync will not work.

You asked.

It'll still work just fine, just means you can't use G-Sync.

FreeSync was developed by AMD and first announced in 2014 to compete against Nvidia's proprietary G-Sync.

You'll need a newer model monitor to use FreeSync.
