FREE SYNC?

Hi Jayt20010,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand you have questions about the best setting that you should use for your series X. You will have to use FreeSync or Adaptive sync because G-Sync is a proprietary adaptive sync technology developed by Nvidia for GTX and RTX graphics card. Unlike FreeSync or Adaptive sync that supports more generic synchronization technology and that includes Xbox.

In addition, most modern monitors like yours automatically chooses the most compatible sync technology based on the input.

Hi deigo. I have tried all avaialbale ports to no avail... but still not free sync for hdr gaming. Im not sure if i should contact Asus the manufactors for soke advice. It appears im stuck in limbo not getting the full effect out of monitor is very disappointing

Hi there,

Thank you for coming to the forums, I'd be happy to help.

Due to Xbox One hardware limitations, only select FreeSync displays are compatible with the console. To use FreeSync, an Xbox One must be connected to a display that supports FreeSync over HDMI (v 2.0), which is only offered by a subset of the current display
range. I looked up your monitor and it does seem that it should be compatible with the Xbox One X however I did notice that only one of the HDMI ports is actually HDMI (v 2.0). I recommend looking over the user manual and make sure the HDMI is plugged into
the correct HDMI (v 2.0) port and not the other ports.

If you confirm that it's plugged into the right HDMI port and you still cannot select the option in the video modes then, go ahead and do a

hard reset and power cycle. Hold down the power button on the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down and then remove the power cable from the Xbox and the power outlet for about 2-3 minutes. Then re-connect and
turn on the Xbox.

Let us know if this helps!

Hi Psilocybxns

Thanks for your post. Sometimes televisions and monitors can fail to broadcast information to devices that support protocols supported by the monitor. In my experience, display manufacturers usually have settings that need to be adjusted to properly allow
for those features to be used, so there may be positive results in contacting Asus.

Please let us know how it goes.
