If i buy a 144Hz monitor and i use a nvidia graphics card will i be able to use the full 144Hz even if the Adaptive sync is AMD? i just want to get better than 60FPS on the screen when my FPS is over that on the computer.

nVidia has 'GSync, AMD has FreeSync.
Both are adaptive sync from respective companies.

Having that kinda Sync has nothing directly to do with your refresh rate, there are GSync and FreeSync monitors with less than 144hz.
It makes alot more sense to have such Sync on higher refresh rate tho'.

Without tuch Sync, you can use any monitors with 144hz refresh rate.

More than 60 fps?
Well, refresh rate is only the max fps a monitor can display, how much fps you will get still depends on your PC.

In order to have a working GSync, you need a nVidia GPu and a monitor with GSync.
For FreeeSync, you need an AMD GPU and a monitor with FreeSync.
If you have e.g. nVidia GPU and a 144hz monitor with FreeSnyc, you will have only the 144hz, with neither the FreeSync nor GSync.

Ya no I get all that. I just didn't know if I bought a monitor with 144Hz refesh that has AMD free Sync, will I be able to get say the 120 FPS i get in some games on that monitor still using a nvidia card. i guess what im reall asking is do i have to buy a gsync monitor in order to get more than 60 FPS or is the Gysnc a not needed function? I just dont see the point in paying 500 dollars for a monitor if i dont need to.

You need to at least match the FPS in-game to the refresh (144Hz). When it falls below, the monitor is refreshing a frame that hasn't been created yet. When the frame is created, it inserts it into the monitor and you get half a frame created, plus the top half of the last frame.

The performance of your graphics card defines how many frames per second you can put out onto your monitor screen. You can set a maximum cap or sync it the monitor refresh rate. If you have a 1050 you will not reach 144Hz in AAA titles without tuning down your settings. Syncing would be reasonable but you wont get a gsync monitor under $350.

What fps do you get now?

If you game without synchronisation cap the frames in afterburner to outweigh fps fluctuation.

So in Short I can buy any monitor regardless of Adaptive sync or not and get the full FPS if my GPU will allow it. Just to be noted if I use a Nvidia GPU without G-Sync Capable Monitors their will be More Screen Tearing?
