What are Gsync and Freesync?

Nvidia's Gsync and AMD's Freesync are common on gaming monitors. But what are they exactly and should you even use them?

in 2023, gsync and freesync are now compatible with a freesync monitor and a nvidia gpu. in nvidia control panel, turn on vsync in manage 3d settings and under display settings, click setup gsync and turn on gsync. then turn off vsync in game and then you can turn on freesync via the monitor’s menu

I've also got it connected to the Samsung soundbar b650 with the I think five speakers in the soundbar and the woofer with a maximum 430 watts works really really well

I disabled G-Sync, and now my monitor no longer flickers. I almost considered buying a new one, but luckily, disabling it solved the issue

Hey bro. Nice vid. Is your monitor a view sonic elite?? Also where did you get that sick spirited away wallpaper.

I'm hoping that you will see this like this afternoon I have a Samsung 49-in curved monitor with AMD free sync currently connected to my Intel nitro 5 but I have an Asus Rog strix AMD ryzen 9 does the curved monitor work better with the ASUS Rogue strix AMD considering the monitor has AMD free sync and I ask you this to save me setting it up if the answer is no Can you answer that but failing that I guess I'll just have to try it myself. I use Daum potplayer player and have got it stretched keep aspect ratio and the top and bottom is slightly missing I guess I could mess with it to get it right but is there a way to get movies exactly on the screen Or will the AMD ASUS rog strix ryzen 9 do that for me ?
