Back at CES 2019, when NVIDIA announced the new RTX 2060 graphics card, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang also announced support for “G-Sync compatible monitors”. This means that you can now enable the G-Sync feature even if you are using a FreeSync monitor, provided that you have a Pascal or Turing-based graphics card. That’s right, this support will only work for graphics cards from GTX 10 series to the latest RTX 30 series; and you will need the latest GeForce Driver 417.71 (up). Check out the list of Freesync monitors that are compatible with G-Sync below.

UPDATE: It’s been a while since I have updated this list, and to date there are more than 100 monitors that are certified by NVIDIA as G-Sync compatible. Check out the list below.

List of Certified FreeSync Monitors Compatible with NVIDIA G-Sync

Table below is also scroll-able / swipeable left to right.According to NVIDIA, they have tested hundreds of different monitors and only few of them have passed without any issues. Below are the FreeSync monitors that are certified to be compatible with NVIDIA’s G-Sync.

Note: We try to be as accurate as possible when collecting the data above. But please double-check since there may be changes or revisions on the monitor. Also, I noticed that the specs listed by retail stores may be slightly different from the manufacturer’s page.

I was a little bit disappointed when I saw the initial list since most are based on a TN panel. True that they are fast, they have a very low response time, but they don’t have good viewing angles and colors are not that great compared to IPS or VA panel. However, fast forward to 2021, I can see that there are now more IPS panel on the list. And some of these (gaming) monitors are excellent.

There are also several 4K UHD monitors, (super) ultra-wide and HDR monitors that features FreeSync but are also certified to be G-Sync compatible monitors. A number of eSports-centric monitors are also included in the list above; and even LG’s 4K TV.

If you are currently using one of the monitors listed above, once the driver version 417.71 has been installed, G-Sync feature should be automatically enable. Those who are using FreeSync monitors that are not listed above / non-certified may also enable G-Sync manually via the NVIDIA control panel.

Do note that those monitors that are non-certified may encounter varying issues, like flickering, blurring and the likes. However, there are several users who have confirmed that their non-certified FreeSync monitor was working well with G-Sync enabled.

Non-Certified FreeSync Monitors But Still Works with G-Sync

The list of certified FreeSync monitors compatible with G-Sync seems to be pretty underwhelming, due to the fact there are literally a lot of FreeSync monitors available in the market today compared to G-Sync monitors.

UPDATE: MSI has listed some of their FreeSync monitors that are compatible with G-Sync as well. However, take note though that NVIDIA has not officially included MSI’s monitors on their list of certified G-Sync compatible monitors. I have the MSI Optix MPG27CQ, it’s not certified, but when I enable G-sync, it does seem to work. I only tried it with Battlefield V, haven’t tested it thoroughly though.

Users from NVIDIA Subreddit have created a Google sheet where they share their experiences with the current FreeSync monitors that they have. We see some non-certified FreeSync monitors on that list are reported to work just fine with G-Sync. Other monitors have issues, while other monitors needed to be “tweaked” a little bit just to get G-Sync working with their FreeSync monitors. Can you check out the sheet here.
