Does this have gsync or freesync?

T-90Thank you. I looked over it twice and figured I was just too dyslexic to see it. Pretty important info they need in there. If Gsync, sounds like a pretty nice deal.

michaelsammlerFrom the asus website: Adaptive Sync support range from 48Hz-100Hz
Still not sure what that is. https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/MX34VQ/specifications/

michaelsammlerI believe I recently read some manufacturers use proprietary methods of video synchronization to prevent screen tearing. I imagine this would mean not needing technology like freesync or gsync. Maybe vsync too. I've heard one monitor syncs to green but I have no clue what that technically means. Honestly I would have to look it up again.

michaelsammlerFor all intends and purposes Adaptive Sync is basically FreeSync. Nvidia still wants you to pay extra for their unnecessary monitor modules and won't support it even though it's an open standard.

BorsG-sync isn’t an unnecessary module. It performs better than freesync with a wider range of hertz coverage. I would like Nvidia to support freesync in addition to the module but that isn’t how business works.

Eagles83Please provide a source to back your claim. The FreeSync technology spec (and VESA's DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync by extention) is 9–240Hz. Any manufacturer is free to implement it if the panel they choose to use can manage it. If someone decides to sell a monitor that has a range of 40-60Hz, that's hardly an issue on AMDs side.

BorsI've seen many tech sites say that Adaptive Sync is an umbrella term can refer equally either to FreeSync or to G-Sync. That's why MD really needs to specify which it is every time they list a monitor. Not to do so leads to confusion and customers who have no idea what they are buying. If the monitor is FreeSync, then its description should say FreesSync, period.

CalisIf it doesn't say G-Sync, it's not G-Sync, which is a proprietary Nvidia solution. No manufacturer would fail to mention that specific feature as it adds value as a premium feature that isn't common. Free-sync is an open source solution, so it has always been open to interpretation based on the manufacturer's hardware.

T-90according to their specs on site, it has none...just a 100hz panel. It reads only "48-100 hz adaptive sync" with no tied technology.

CalisIf a monitor supports G-Sync, you can be certain it will be advertised as the manufacturer would want to recuperate as much of the extra cost incurred by the Nvidia tax. Of course, you can also just google or have a look at the price and if it seems about $100 to $200 more expensive than what a screen of similar specs should be, then it's probably G-Sync.
On the other hand, if something is marked as Adaptive Sync instead of FreeSync, it means it's not necessarily certified by AMD and while you will get variable refresh rates you should check if the monitor supports Low Framerate Compensation, Low Blue Light, HDR and other secondary features you might want that are not necessarily part of the VESA spec.
In the end, you always have to do your research...
