Thanks, I'll take a look at that model. What are your tips on using a FreeSync monitor? You touched on it above, but should I be using AMD catalyst profiles instead of in-game settings?
[–] JJNova ago (edited ago)
If you are upgrading from a current AMD card, you just need to go into catalyst and turn off the settings it currently has enabled. By default Catalyst enables features to make things look better on typical computer monitors. Since you will be upgrading to a gaming monitor and a card that does freesync, you won't need those features enabled. Since screen-tearing will nearly be a thing of the past, there's no reason to have the video card trying to smooth frames. It's better to let all the resources go to rendering the game.
After disabling those features, then you just rely on the in-game settings. This way if for some reason a game isn't running perfect, you are only modifying that specific games settings, instead of ruining the experience across all titles.
I edited my first post to include a link to http://144hzmonitors.com as they have a wealth of information regarding Freesync and it's abilities.
