No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

If you don't have an Nvidia GPU you can't use GSync. You can use FreeSync if you have it but variable refresh rates need at least HDMI 2.0.
What it does: your monitor relays a certain refresh rate to your gpu and if you turn on VSync, your gpu will not render more frames than your monitor can display. GSync and FreeSync make the monitor able to relay different refresh rates, making it possible for your gpu to render less frames whilst still showing a consistent picture.
So in short: if you don't have a DP on your monitor you can't use variable refresh rates anyway and GSync is out of the question.
I've looked up your monitor specs, if you really want to you can use FreeSync over displayport. It'll require some setup in Windows and in your games.
Thanks! This monitor does support FreeSync. So the only option here is to either get hdmi 2.0\displayport or don't use vrr, right?
Edit: I've seen your update, thanks a lot
To be clear: hdmi 2.0 is not a cable spec. The ports on both your gpu and your monitor can have a hdmi spec like 1.4 or 2.0 or 2.1. Cable specs are High Speed, Ultra High Speed or Ultra High Speed with Ethernet. Essentially they all work with all hdmi port specs.
Similar goes for displayport except the main cable just has one spec. Your monitor has HDMI 1.4 (no vrr) or DisplayPort 1.2. Your gpu does HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4. They are backwards compatible but the default to the lowest spec, so connecting HDMI means you can only use HDMI 1.4 spec and connecting DP means you can get DP1.2.
DisplayPort has a much higher bandwidth. Without going into detail I'd say for PC gaming DP is always better. Look up HDMI vs DP for more on the subject.
