NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ is an advanced technology that matches the monitor's refresh rate to the GPU frame rate. G-SYNC eliminates tearing, and minimizes stutter and input lag, providing a faster, smoother gaming experience when running 3D applications and games. G-SYNC requires a G-SYNC or G-SYNC Compatible display.
OS Requirement for G-SYNC displays: Windows 7 or later Windows operating system (Desktop Window Manager must be disabled if using G-SYNC with windowed applications.)
OS Requirement for G-SYNC Compatible displays: Windows 10 or later Windows operating system
