Starting off, FreeSync basically allows AMD graphics cards and APUs to control the refresh rate of an attached monitor. If the GPU can’t output at the display’s refresh rate, you’ll notice lags or stuttering. With the FreeSync mode, the monitor refreshes the screen in-sync with the current game’s refresh rate. However, if you’re not aware of how to Enable G-Sync on a FreeSync Monitor then check out this informative guide.

V-Sync stands for Vertical Sync which is the graphical technology that’s responsible for synchronizing the frame rate of a game to the refresh rate of a monitor. It basically happens quite randomly with games that utilize refresh rates of 60 frames per second or higher. PC gamers can get smoother frames per second without a screen tearing issue in their games.
