Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']'). FreeSync is the brand name for an adaptive synchronization technology for LCD displays that support a dynamic refresh rate aimed at reducing screen tearing.[1] FreeSync was initially developed by AMD in response to NVidia's G-Sync. FreeSync is royalty-free, free to use, and has no performance penalty.[2] As of 2015, VESA has adopted FreeSync as an optional component of the DisplayPort 1.2a specification.[3] FreeSync has a dynamic refresh rate range of 9–240 Hz.[2] As of August 2015, Intel also plans to support VESA's adaptive-sync with the next generation of GPU.[4]

Advantages

  • Helps improve battery life by reducing the refresh rate of the panel when the screen is static (meaning, the previous frame was the same as the current one).[5]
  • Ensures that the transition between refresh rate is seamless and undetectable to the user.
  • Can be enabled by plug and play, making it transparent to the operating system and end user.
  • Reduces implementation complexity of the Timing Controller (TCON) and panel by keeping the GPU's pixel clock rate constant and varying blank parameters.
  • Dynamically adapts the display refresh rate to fixed video content frame rate for a power efficient and stutter-free video playback with anything over 30FPS.
  • Dynamically adapts the display refresh rate to variable gaming content render for low latency and a smooth, virtually stutter-free gaming experience.

Disadvantages

  • FreeSync cannot work with CRT-based displays
