In the meantime, AMD GPU market share dropped from 25% to below 9% in a single year, so freesync is more and more irrelevant.

Originally posted by haagch View PostI didn't have much luck when I tried it a while ago. So it's only supported on Displayport, does that include passive displayport to hdmi adapters? Afaik they only work with displayport+ and put the displayport into a hdmi compatible mode...
I never tried it over adapters though, and I would not be surprised if I found out they do shenanigans that break FreeSync.

Pretty sure Freesync = Freesync 2, only that the latter has a stricter certification process for monitors with some added requirements.## VGA ##

While FreeSync on Windows supports HDMI outputs too, FreeSync currently on Linux will just work with DisplayPort connections.
The thing is, I have a Dell SE2717H monitor which does not have Displayport input...
