How to enable freesync on PG259QN?

Post by wlundstrom » 04 Aug 2021, 06:31

So this monitor is supposedly compatible with freesync. But I cant see the option on the monitor, only in radeon software.

PG259QN has a GSYNC module. If u want to use it with AMD gpus just enable it in Radeon Software and in monitor OSD (G-SYNC Processor) if available. U can quickly enable "FPS Counter" inside OSD, play the game and test if it works.

Thats the problem. I can only activate freesync in radeon software. But i cant find the option to enable it on the monitor, GSYNC is greyed out.

Then it's enabled-locked if the Radeon software detects it as Adaptive-sync capable. In any case, do what Discorz suggests for testing in game.

You have this monitor since early July, has something changed?

Yes, maybe its enabled by default. Try the fps counter.
