Can someone please explain this.

Sorry if this has being explained somewhere I have trawled the internet with no luck.

"All AMD Radeon™ graphics cards in the AMD Radeon™ HD 7000, HD 8000, R7 or R9 Series will support AMD FreeSync™ technology for video playback and power-saving purposes. The AMD Radeon™ R9 295X2, 290X, R9 290, R9 285, R7 260X and R7 260 GPUs additionally feature updated display controllers that will support dynamic refresh rates during gaming."

This paragraph is pulled from AMD's free sync page, what I'm trying to understand is, is the "dynamic refresh rate" the main part of freesync for gaming?

As currently I have a 7970, but if I purchase a freesync monitor it will be soley in mind for gaming.

is the "dynamic refresh rate" the main part of freesync for gaming? - yes

The 7970 will only do the " video playback and power-saving purposes" bit.
