Do the "Optimal G-SYNC Settings" apply to AMD cards?

After reading the
Optimal G-SYNC Settings, I'm a little confused. It seems like FreeSync (G-SYNC Compatible) monitors have been tested extensively, but with Nvidia cards. As an AMD user, my question is does the advice to enable FreeSync and V-Sync together apply the same way it does for G-SYNC and V-Sync? Has this actually been tested with AMD hardware?
Also, should I enable Radeon Anti-Lag?
Thanks for all the hard work you folks do.

Yes and yes. Base VRR behavior is base VRR behavior, regardless of branding.
That said, unlike Nvidia, I've heard the AMD CP V-SYNC option doesn't always apply in all cases, so my V-SYNC option recommendation for a 100% tear-free VRR experience on AMD cards would be to use the in-game, not AMD CP V-SYNC option.

That settings is equivalent to Nvidia's Low Latency Mode. As such, it's not directly VRR-related, and instead involves reducing pre-rendered frames in the render queue in GPU-bound situations (with or without VRR enabled).
I.E. whenever your GPU usage is at 99%+, Anti-Lag can reduce render queue input lag by up to 1 frame:
