Basically FreeSync is synonym to Adaptive Sync, a technology that was developed for the mobile market years ago. Nvidia has GSYNC and AMD now has FreeSync, a technology that eliminates the problems that come with VSYNC (both on and off) versus what is displayed on your monitor. If you however freeze the display to one 1 Hz, this is what you will see, the epiphany of graphics rendering evil, screen-tearing. We have taken this for granted many years, screen-tearing and VSYNC stutters, but anno 2015 there now are solutions for it. This you guys all know and have learned as "VSync Off Mode" and is the default way most FPS gamers play.

The first way is to simply ignore the refresh rate of the monitor altogether, and update the image being scanned to the display in mid cycle. To compensate we have been purchasing extremely fast dedicated graphics cards to be to be able to match that screen refresh rate as close as possible. Over the years the industry tried to solve problems like Vsync stutter or Tearing basically in two ways. Ever since the start of the 3d graphics revolutions, we simply got used to these sync stutters and/or screen tearing.
But yeah, these are the main reasons for all sorts of screen anomalies. Heck, this is why framerate limiters are so popular as you try to sync each rendered frame in line with your monitor refresh rate. However if you have that same 35 FPS framerate on 60 Hz, you'd see visible screen tearing. Considering that the hardcore FPS gamer obviously wants extremely high FPS, and for these frag-masters the alternative is simply disabling VSYNC.
Screen tearing however is just a nasty thing. Soft sync stuttering is relative, honestly. With VSYNC activated a somewhat similar thing happens as the graphics cards tries to stay as close to 60 FPS as possible, however if incapable of sustaining 60 FPS or Hz, you can see an effect that we call soft sync stuttering. To gain the maximum out of your graphics card you can turn off VSYNC on your monitor but that will result into multiple rendered images per shown frame, the overlapping difference is what you guys see as screen tearing. So the graphics card is running a dynamic device that outs its frames in a varying FPS, the problem is that your monitor has a static refresh-rate (Hz), these two don't really match together. To jump onto that bandwagon AMD figured, hey if we can get manufacturers to offer monitor support that can chew on a dynamic refresh-rate and develop FreeSync into a VESA standard then you would get the same experience as GSYNC offers, but at lower cost as you do not need an expensive GSYNC module - right ? So ya'll know that when NVIDIA announced GSync shortly thereafter AMD realized that they already had something similar available hidden and harbored deeply as a technology with a purpose for laptops.

We will walk you through some available models, driver support and supported GPU's after which we'll put the aforementioned ACER screen to the test. So yeah, following NVIDIAs GSYNC AMD took matters in their own hands and took a different approach, no more screen tearing and sync stuttering during game-play, if you create a gaming setup with the right circumstances. For that money you receive a FreeSync compatible screen that has 1ms GTG speeds up-to 144 Hz. This puppy is WHQD and will not break an arm and a leg as it's available for just just 499 EURO.
In this article we will test out AMDs all new hip feature, FreeSync and we do so with the new Acer FreeSync (27” 1440p 144Hz) screen. Gaming without screen tearing and or sync stuttering
