Freesync works with geforce gtx cards, but there is a problem

We know that FreeSync technology is only possible on AMD Radeon graphics cards, but apparently it is possible to activate it using Nvidia graphics cards. Reddit user bryf50 posted the steps to get it working on his GeForce GTX 1060 over the weekend and the folks at Wccftech were encouraged to try this method to see if it worked. Well, the truth is that it does work, but not as well as we would like.

FreeSync if it can work on Nvidia GeForce graphics cards

The truth is that the steps are not so simple and only a few will be able to do it. The trick here is that we will need a Ryzen APU processor, in the case of Wccftech , they used a Ryzen 5 2400G. Based on the way it works, it should work the same with any APU that has the necessary output for a FreeSync compatible monitor.

In the test they used a GTX 1070 graphics card. With this setup the 'FS' system worked, but they have come across a couple of abnormalities, most present in Unigine Valley, that simply acted strangely and never worked well. However, with games like Deus Ex Mankind Divided, the FreeSync acted without a problem.

Doing a performance test, it was discovered that with FreeSync activated, the results are worse, both in Unigine Valley and in Deus Ex Mankind Divided .

The verdict

Yes, technically FreeSync can work with an Nvidia graphics card, although an APU processor is required for this, so not everyone will be able to use this trick.
