As far as I'm aware FreeSync and Gsync are mutually exclusive right now, your monitor has one or the other and which one you get depends on which graphics vendor you're using. Nvidia supports Gsync only right now, and have no plans to adopt FreeSync, which is an open software solution compared to Nvidia proprietary hardware solution. AMD supports FreeSync and only FreeSync, Intel is supposedly also going to get on...


As long as your 680 has a DisplayPort on it, you'll be good to go. The only change in outputs that has happened since the 680 launched was the addition of HDMI 2.0, which allows HDMI to do 60Hz on resolutions higher than 1080p.

OK.... Isnt it also true that gsync is actually part of the monitor... and that Free Sync is a software download. So....while i could definitely still use my gsync monitor, with an AMD gpu......But, i wouldn't be taking advantage of the gsync options on the monitor? Is that correct? Did that make sense? lol

AMD supports FreeSync and only FreeSync, Intel is supposedly also going to get on board with FreeSync as well, but nobody likely cares due to the poor gaming performance of their integrated graphics.
