If you have an NVIDIA graphics card and a FreeSync monitor, you’ll be happy to know that you can now enable FreeSync on your display. There are two ways in which you can do this. The first is through the NVIDIA Control Panel, and the second is through the monitor’s on-screen menu. The NVIDIA Control Panel method is pretty straightforward. Simply open the panel and click on “Manage 3D Settings”. Under “Display”, look for the option called “Enable G-Sync, G-Sync Compatible”. Check the box and you’re good to go.
If your monitor doesn’t have FreeSync support, you can still enable it through NVIDIA’s Control Panel. However, please note that this will only work if your monitor has a DisplayPort connection. If your monitor only has an HDMI connection, you’ll need to use the monitor’s on-screen menu. Enabling FreeSync through the monitor’s on-screen menu is a little more complicated than doing it through NVIDIA’s Control Panel. First, you’ll need to access the menu and find the option called “VRR Range”. This will likely be under a sub-menu called “Display”. Once you’ve found it, set the VRR Range to “Extended” or “Full”. Depending on your monitor, you may also need to set the “Minimum Refresh Rate” to either “Same as Source” or “Variable”.
Some issues that can occur when enabling Freesync
Even if you have a FreeSync monitor and an NVIDIA graphics card, you may still run into some issues when trying to enable Freesync. The most common issue is that your monitor may not be compatible with FreeSync. If this is the case, you’ll need to use the monitor’s on-screen menu to enable it. Another issue that can occur is that your graphics card may not be able to support FreeSync at the same refresh rate as your monitor. This can cause some flickering or other visual issues. If you’re experiencing these types of issues, you may need to lower the refresh rate on your monitor.
Some things you should know about Freesync before you enable it
FreeSync is a variable refresh rate technology that can help to reduce screen tearing and stuttering. However, it’s important to note that FreeSync only works over DisplayPort. If your monitor only has an HDMI connection, you’ll need to use the monitor’s on-screen menu to enable it. Additionally, enabling FreeSync may cause some flickering or other visual issues. If you’re experiencing these types of issues, you may need to lower the refresh rate on your monitor. Enabling FreeSync can also be a bit more complicated than enabling G-Sync. Depending on your monitor, you may need to set the VRR Range to “Extended” or “Full”. You may also need to set the “Minimum Refresh Rate” to either “Same as Source” or “Variable”.
