Nvidia Freesync Through Hdmi

I d proceed with the assumption unless the switch calls out freesync over hdmi compatibility that it wont work.

Nvidia freesync through hdmi. It is enabled in control panel and on the osd in the monitor but i keep getting tearing inside freesync range of 48 72. Nvidia don t support freesync via hdmi on any graphic card they ever made. Mar 27 2012 1 349 328 136. A passive adapter will work if the graphics card supports freesync over hdmi as passive adapters make the graphics card aware that it is connected via hdmi instead of displayport and does not perform any signal processing.

It does not work over hdmi so that might be why freesync isn t possible. Saddly they won t be implementing it on the still very capable 10 series. Technical implementation is slightly different iirc but more importatly branding and support are different should gain vrr on turing cards hdmi ports after that driver releases note that 2019 lg oleds dont support hdmi freesync so amd will need to enable hdmi vrr support on their gpus as well which again is. And even if freesync itself supports hdmi that doesn t necessarily mean that nvidia gpus support freesync over hdmi.

Since nvidia only allows freesync compatibility over native displayport. So tvs with hdmi vrr support this is not the same thing as hdmi freesync. In some games like witcher 3 i only get lower screen tearing that travels slowly upward to the middle in others like rage 2 i get the classic split screen tearing. The lack of adaptive sync over hdmi will also disappoint those looking to pair an nvidia gpu with the range of freesync capable tvs that have been hitting the market in recent years.

Maybe you ll get pleasantly surprised but i doubt it. How to activate freesync support on nvidia gpus firstly make sure you ve connected the display to your gpu using displayport and not hdmi. Starting with 16 and 20 series nvidia started to support hdmi forum vrr over hdmi. For me this is the last straw.

Activate freesync on your display using on screen controls.
