English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Using Winuae and G-Sync

Update:

I have purchased a Freesync monitor, a LG 24GN50W from my local Walmart for $160 (which is a whole lot cheaper than the current asking price of the Viewsonic XG2560 I originally used in the post.)

This is a 144hz Freesync monitor. For purposed of Amiga Emulation, it is the equivalent of the Viewsonic model but at 1/3 the price. I disconnected the XG2560, hooked up the 24GN50W, overrode and enabled G-sync compatible in the Nvidia control panel and did a reboot.

WinUAE came up and in fact @ 50hz it is visually and audibly identical to the more expensive viewsonic monitor. (It should be noted that the 24GN50W does NOT have integrated speakers, just a headphone jack, so you need to supply your own).

There is no reason to believe performance would be different with a supported AMD card on a Freesync monitor, so this one also gets a thumbs up. Perfectly smooth scrolling, no tearing, and no audio artifacts/popping.
