Back in January 2019, Nvidia announced that it would be updating its GPU drivers to support FreeSync displays under the new ‘G-Sync Compatible' initiative. This means that Nvidia GPU users can switch G-Sync on using any adaptive sync display, although there is a verification program in place to highlight the monitors that supposedly work the best without the proprietary G-Sync module. The official list of verified monitors has grown a lot over time, going from just a dozen officially verified displays to over 70.
While you can switch on ‘G-Sync' with any adaptive sync display through the driver, monitors that are officially verified by Nvidia will switch G-Sync on automatically. The list started off with 12 monitors from the likes of ASUS, Acer, AOC and BenQ but thanks to continuous updates, that list now spans well over 70 displays, with today's GeForce Driver update adding even more to the list.

We expect this list to grow again before the end of the year but remember, even if your monitor isn't on the list, you can force adaptive sync on manually through the Nvidia Control Panel G-Sync section.
