I'm aware that I'm a bit late to this bandwagon, honestly, at this point I think I'm about six months late. But NVIDIA allowed FreeSync use on its GeForce graphics cards and as the owner of an LG 27 UD 88, which is a 27-inch 4K panel, I decided to see whether I can use adaptive sync with my GTX 1080.

Now, the short answer is no. I can't use adaptive sync settings with my GeForce graphics card. If that's all the information you wanted, subscribe to the channel, click the bell notification, and you can carry on with your day. But if you want more information about how I got to this result, watch the next two or so minutes of this video.

First things first, you need to actually enable the FreeSync settings. How I did this is by going into the menu in my monitor, then going into the picture menu, and then there's a "Game adjust modes" menu. In there, you can actually switch FreeSync on or off.

Now, after that, I went into the NVIDIA control panel, which actually has a submenu for G-Sync settings. You go in there, and then you have two more options to switch it on – for only full-screen mode or for windowed and full-screen mode. Honestly, it doesn't really matter which one you use if you game in a window; just use that one.

Then, when you scroll down a bit further, you get the option to switch on the actual adaptive sync settings for that specific display. Now, NVIDIA says here that my screen – which is the LG 27 UD 88 – isn't a verified panel. But there's information on the internet that says some unverified panels are actually capable of doing this, so you can switch this on.

Let's see what difference it makes now. Before we get into the gameplay footage, I just want to say that I did run three instances of this test. The first one is with FreeSync off in the actual screen menu and with G-Sync disabled in the NVIDIA control panel. The second one is with FreeSync on in the actual display and then G-Sync on in the NVIDIA G-Sync panel. And the third one – that's the one that didn't work.

If you see here, this is a fairly standard scene in Battlefield 5. I'm just kind of looking at stuff, and both of these – which is FreeSync on in the display and FreeSync off in the display – look pretty much identical. Honestly, there isn't much tearing. But when you turn on the G-Sync settings for this actual display, it starts getting really bad, and there are a lot of visual artifacts.

Honestly, this was the case with all of them. Now, here's just some gameplay footage of Apex Legends, as well. And as you can see – there's not much tearing in either of the FreeSync on in the display or FreeSync off in the display versions. But the moment that you turn the display specific G-Sync settings on, it all kind of goes to hell.

Unfortunately, if you have an LG 27 UD 88, you cannot use adaptive sync settings with a GeForce graphics card. It's a bit of a shame, but honestly, there isn't much tearing in the first place, and I haven't noticed it in most of the games that I'd play anyway.

If you like the video, do like and subscribe to the channel for more videos like this one, and until the next one, bye bye.
