Yes, you can use FreeSync with HDMI, but only with HDMI 2.1 or higher. Older versions of HDMI do not support the FreeSync technology.
FreeSync is a variable refresh rate (VRR) technology developed by AMD that helps to reduce screen tearing and stuttering. It works by synchronizing the refresh rate of the monitor with the frame rate of the graphics card.
Here are some key points to remember:
- HDMI 2.1 is required: This version of HDMI is necessary to support FreeSync over HDMI.
- Adaptive Sync: FreeSync over HDMI is often referred to as Adaptive Sync.
- Not all HDMI 2.1 ports support FreeSync: Make sure your monitor and graphics card both support FreeSync over HDMI.
- Check your monitor's manual: Consult the documentation for your monitor to confirm if it supports FreeSync over HDMI.
FreeSync over HDMI can provide a smoother gaming experience, especially for users with AMD graphics cards.
