Starting, FreeSync allows AMD graphics cards and APUs to control the refresh rate of an attached monitor. You’ll notice lags or stuttering if the GPU can’t output at the display’s refresh rate. With the FreeSync mode, the monitor refreshes the screen in sync with the current game’s refresh rate. However, if you’re unaware of how to Enable G-Sync on a FreeSync Monitor, check out this informative guide.
V-Sync stands for Vertical Sync, which is the graphical technology responsible for synchronizing a game’s frame rate to a monitor’s refresh rate. It happens randomly with games that utilize 60 frames per second or higher refresh rates. PC gamers can get smoother frames per second without a screen tearing issue in their games.
