Hello,
Recently got a 244hz predator 27 inch nvidea gsync gaming monitor.
I have a Radeon RX580 card. I’m wondering is this monitor compatible with my amd card. I read somewhere that nvidea was trying to be more inclusive.
Im reading enable it out of game in the radeon settings then disable it in game and set your fps to 141 (if u have a 144hz moni). not sure why. What should i set it to if i have a 244hz moni? 241?
Thanks in advance.
Yes absolutely turn it on, as for setting it to 241 vs 244, sure, you’d never notice the difference.
I am not sure if there is really a reason to set it lower but I do the same on my 165hz monitor and set it to 160.
Edit: you have a Radeon card, Gsync is for Nvidia only isn’t it? Freesync is the one for AMD cards. Sadly, I don’t think it will work, so you might be stuck with in-game vsync

Might also want to enable Radeon anti lag.
Edit: Now that I think about it I wonder if standard Freesync range is capped at 144hz…probably. (The Freesync premium monitor I have is 48-165hz)
Whoa haven’t seen you in forever. Did you give up on pvp till 9.1?
The reason is frames above your monitors refresh rate creates input lag. Some people don’t notice it depending on how far above you go, but there’s no extra benefit to having 200 fps on a 144hz monitor that I’m aware of. So you just cap it a couple below as no FPS cap software is perfect (sometimes can go over the cap by a few frames) and G-sync/Freesync takes care of any FPS dipping below the refresh rate.
Also depending on your rig, I guess letting your GPU render FPS uncapped could potentially raise temps, and depending on your CPU higher temps could lower boost clocks but WoW isn’t exactly melting GPUs or anything lol.
For WoW Gsync won’t make a difference. You don’t need 244hz for anything besides FPS games.
It won’t have an effect on your game performance like an FPS or even fast paced racing game, but it’s definitely noticeable depending on playstyle and nice to have.
I strafe kite a lot and quickly move my camera during hops, and the smooth as butter camera movement with Gsync on is a definite QOL improvement.
AMD graphics cards have V-sync. Which is not compatible with G-sync.
Gsync technology is only useful to prevent screen tearing. If your monitor is capable of supporting 144hz and your GPU is capable of putting out 144fps, Gsync will do nothing but reduce performance because your game won’t have screen tearing.
Gsync is essentially just a feature they put on products to make them cost more. It also adds input lag, you’re essentially giving yourself lag by using Gsync.
For non-multiplayer games I use Gsync. For performance situations, you don’t want it enable. No competitive gamer uses Gsync.
wait is this true?? i have free sync enabled on my radeon settings but vsync and triple buffering are disabled in wow. im getting 140+fps and feels smooth.
That’s not really correct, it makes sure that when your GPU renders a frame it generates the image to the monitor at the same time thusly “syncing them”. It fixes micro stutters and delays even if you were already capping at 144 fps w/144 hz.
Gsync actually improves input lag, it doesn’t make it worse.
@OP, if you have a Gsync monitor unfortunately AMD cards have not been setup to work with them yet, they are exclusive to FreeSync. However Nvidia cards can run with either. The good news is supposedly this might change soon:
This is false, Gsync will 100% give input lag.

Yep, sub runs out in a few days…
Quoted from your own article:
“ Conclusion
As even the input lag in CS:GO was solvable, I found no perceptible input lag disadvantage to G-SYNC relative to VSYNC OFF, even in older source engine games, provided the games were configured correctly“
Come again? Or do you want me to refer you back to your own link. How about you read the whole article next time instead of linking me a benchmark that contradicts you 
Also the guy who wrote that article was running those tests on a pretty old machine:
| OS | Windows 8.1 (with 1000Hz mouse fix) |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel i7-3770K |
| GPU | GeForce GTX Titan (Driver 331.93) |
| RAM | 16GB (4 x 4GB) Mushkin 1600Mhz DDR3 |
| Mouse | Logitech G9x (modified) |
| Motherboard | ASUS P8Z77V-Pro |
| Monitor | ASUS VG248QE G-SYNC |
Windows 10 has better drivers, access to DX12, and his system still operating on a DDR3 platform despite having a titan gtx card in there. If anything his system is probably bottlenecking those results.
“Since input processing is usually bound to the framerate, the higher fps the better. g-sync or freesync monitor with a high refresh rate allows you to enjoy both a screen-tearing free experience and maximum frames possible for your computer, therefore reducing input lag.”
I play WoW on a 1440p gsync set up recently. All that I’ve noticed by turning it on an off is smoother display of frames when my frame rate is less than the 165hz my monitor produces.
Frame rates (like CSGO 300fps or valorant 200+) never have a negative impact when it’s more than the refresh rate of your monitor.
Given that WoW has extremely variable frame rates depending on city, world, arena, dungeon, raid. Gsync and freesync actually make the game feel much smoother across all content.
I don’t blame you. PVP is terrible.
oh my bad i meant i have a free sync!!
Make sure you read how to properly do the setup in AMD software. It should be very similar to Gsync:
