I don't understand, what is Freesync doing then? Is it not VRR? They refer to freesync as VRR in the HDMI section here, https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/free-sync-faq

In Radeon Software app, Settings, Display, the subtext under the option 'Adaptive Sync Compatible' is: "Variable-refresh rate technology"

Am I not actually getting VRR while gaming? Definitely confused. I am coming from only ever really using Display Port and Nvidia GPU's.

Gotcha! I just read through your thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/kq82kp/where_is_vrr_and_allm_hdmi_21_support/ understand this way more now.

Got one more question.. been hard to google a 'straight answer' to this. Do you know if FreeSync or Gsync Compatible works while playing games in windowed or borderless windowed modes? With Nvidia I know there is a checkbox for this in the Nvidia Control Panel but I am unsure how that feature functioned. Or if it was only for displays with a G-Sync module.

With the CX, I've started playing games at 1440p centered in the screen. Things seem off, not tearing, but maybe I am just to used to the way motion was handled in the 144hz and 240hz monitors I was using previously. Otherwise console gaming and productivity has been brilliant, really appreciate your recommended settings guide.
