AMD FreeSync - what does it mean?

AMD FreeSync is a VRR technology that matches display refresh to a variable frame rate and helps reduce tearing in games.

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

How to understand AMD FreeSync?

FreeSync support is most useful when considered together with maximum refresh rate, HDMI capabilities, input latency and supported resolution ranges.

WHEN COMPARING PRODUCTS
