Update 01/15/2019: We have retested the MSI Optix G27C with NVIDIA's new FreeSync driver, and there were no issues. Although not officially compatible, we only had to select the G-SYNC option under NVIDIA Control Panel, nothing had to be enabled on the monitor's OSD.

The monitor has a high 144Hz native refresh rate, which is great for gaming. It also has FreeSync so it can adjust the screen's refresh rate to match the frame rate of a compatible graphics card, which allows playing graphically intensive games without tearing or stuttering. Unfortunately, the FreeSync range doesn't go below 90Hz like most FreeSync monitors, so stuttering or tearing may occur when a game's framerate drops below 90Hz.
