Can't get Freesync working on MacBook Pro 15" 2015. I am using Windows 10 and I have all the latest drivers installed and a Freesync monitor (Samsung U24E590D) and there is no options in AMD Catalyst Control panel to turn Freesync on, the tutorials i have seen say it is under My digital flatpanels properties section but I do not have any freesync options there, I would appreciate any help. Thank you

My guess is that since the M370X is based on the Cape Verde GPU, which is a GCN 1.0 architecture, it does NOT support Freesync. That is how I read this chart in the WIKI. If you search the AMD site for the Freesync capable GPUs, none of the mobile chips are listed. Your monitor may be Freesync capable, but from the looks of the sources material on WIKI and AMD sites, your card is not. Sorry.
