Both NVIDIA and AMD have similar solutions to this issue of inconsistent syncing between source computer and monitor. NVIDIA G-SYNC works to enable “variable refresh rates” between NIVIDIA-supported GPUs and displays. AMD-supported GPUs and displays can achieve something similar to NVIDIA G-SYNC with a slightly more open and freely available solution called AMD FreeSync.
AMD FreeSync basically tells your FreeSync-enabled monitor or TV to speak to your source, given that your source has a compatible AMD GPU installed. This communication allows the two devices to operate on similar schedules. So instead of your display operating at a “fixed refresh rate,” it refreshes exactly as fast as it receives a new frame. This way, it only displays the next frame when there’s something new to display, which keeps things looking and feeling far smoother.
AMD FreeSync is also much more widely available in newer TVs, even supporting the latest Xbox consoles (including the Xbox One S and Xbox One X, all the way up to the Xbox Series S and Series X) if one is plugged into a FreeSync-enabled TV. This is in contrast to NVIDIA G-SYNC, which is really only suited for gaming PCs with a modern NVIDIA GPU, and only really works with a small number of monitors and only a handful of TVs by comparison.
