The AMD FreeSync technology designed by AMD for e-sports monitors can synchronize the output of the graphics card with the screen image to avoid display tearing. As the e-sports monitor market matures, AMD has also adjusted the thresholds for different certification levels. The screen refresh rate for basic certification will not be less than 144Hz.
AMD FreeSync technology has three levels, namely: Free Sync, Free Sync Premium, and Free Sync Premium Pro. The certification specifications are slightly different depending on whether it is a desktop monitor or a laptop screen. After all, the latter has power consumption, Considering the size, the standard will be relatively low.
According to AMD’s announcement, if desktop monitors want to obtain the most basic Free Sync certification in the future, the horizontal horizontal resolution must be less than 3440, and the refresh rate must not be lower than 144 Hz. That is to say, in the future, almost all 1080P and 1440P e-sports screens with 16:9 and 21:9 ratios will need at least a refresh rate of 144 Hz or above to meet the standard.
The next-level Free Sync Premium uses a horizontal resolution of 3440 pixels as the watershed. Products with a resolution lower than this must have a refresh rate of 200 Hz or higher, while screens larger than 3440 pixels must have a refresh rate of at least 120 Hz. The latter Specification requirements mainly correspond to 4K Ultra HD or 1440P screen products with a 32:9 ratio.
The highest-end Free Sync Premium Pro, in addition to meeting the specifications of Free Sync Premium, also needs to pass AMD Free Sync HDR certification.
As for the requirements for laptops, there are no changes. There are no resolution requirements regardless of the certification level. Free Sync only needs to have an update rate of 40 – 60 Hz, Free Sync Premium must have an update rate higher than 120 Hz, and Free Sync Premium Pro has While meeting Free Sync Premium, it must also pass AMD Free Sync HDR standards.
