Hi there, JohnWJ. We understand your inquiry about FreeSync compatibility on your UltraGear 27GS50FX-B.AUSQ. FreeSync is LG’s implementation of AMD Adaptive Sync, so it’s designed to work seamlessly with AMD Radeon graphics cards. However, many NVIDIA GeForce GPUs released in recent years also support Adaptive Sync under their “G-SYNC Compatible” program when connected via DisplayPort. To take advantage of this: Connection & Settings: Use a high-quality DisplayPort cable and connect your GPU to the monitor’s DisplayPort input. In the monitor’s On-Screen Display (OSD), ensure FreeSync (Adaptive Sync) is enabled. For AMD GPUs, enable FreeSync in Radeon Settings. For NVIDIA GPUs, open NVIDIA Control Panel > Display > Set up G-SYNC, and enable G-SYNC Compatible for your monitor. Check Compatibility: For NVIDIA cards, refer to NVIDIA’s list of validated G-SYNC Compatible monitors and ensure your graphics driver is up to date. While many GeForce cards can work in Adaptive Sync mode, performance may vary by GPU model and driver version. If you’re using an Intel GPU, Adaptive Sync support depends on the specific Intel graphics generation and driver—please check Intel’s documentation for Adaptive Sync support on your GPU. Firmware & Driver Updates: Make sure your monitor firmware is up to date (refer to the LG support site for any available updates). Keep your GPU drivers updated to the latest version to ensure the best Adaptive Sync compatibility and performance. Troubleshooting Tip: After enabling the settings, you should see smoother frame rates and reduced tearing when your GPU’s framerate falls within the monitor’s supported refresh range (e.g., 48–180Hz for this model). If the option doesn’t appear or doesn’t work as expected, double-check connections, confirm settings in both monitor OSD and GPU driver software, and try a different DisplayPort cable if needed. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-ultragear-27-va-fhd-180hz-5ms-amd-freesync-compatible-gaming-monitor-with-hdr10-black/6599421.p?skuId=6599421 For further assistance tailored to your specific graphics card model or if you encounter any setup questions, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport and our team will be more than happy to explore possible solutions.
