You can enable both freesync and enhanced sync. Enhanced sync will kick in outside your monitor’s defined freesync range, e.g. 48-144hz.
I have had mine setup like this for years.
yes, enhanced sync was made to use when users dont have freesync, even when u have freesync u should enable enhanced sync it both works together.
amd explains this tech in their video: https://youtu.be/bMwY_dlZYiM?si=Ida6W2uX5Kk-eSg5
Enhanced sync is only if you are run your games with FPS numbers above your monitors refresh rate, ideally by at least double
If monitor Hz = (or close to) game FPS, then yes. Enhanced Sync + FPS cap is a very good, smooth, and responsive gaming formula. Freesync is cherry on top. I use Riva Tuner Server Statistics for fractional FPS capping. For example:
60Hz screen, 59 973 FPS cap woth RTSS and Enhanced Sync with Ingatestone V-Sync off gives perfect results.
However, there are 3 caveats.
-
Occasionally, some AMD drivers break Enhanced Sync. In such cases, the games start flickering with it. These drivers should be avoided.
-
Enhanced Sync disables syncing entirely when it falls down to half of the screen Hz. So, a 60 FPS cap on a 120 (or more) Hz screen wouldn’t work. In this case, the game can be set to borderless so it can use Windows’s own desktop V-Sync to sync the frames (RTSS FPS capping is still recommended). This is inferior to using Enhanced Sync, which can tolerate small fluctuations in FPS but a high Hz monitor can already lowers input lag a little by itself.
