Does Mac Pro exploit AMD freesync?

i Have a new Mac Pro. AMD Radeon Pro 580X. AMD says the card has free-sync. My question: does this card in a mac pro then exploit free-sync if it is connected to a free-sync monitor? Or, can I buy a non-freesync monitor without any sacrifice, because maybe apple tosses free-sync (their specs only talk about 60hz and don't mention free-sync from what I have seen). Thanks.

Hey ken83!


Freesync is not supported under any version of macOS so far, so buying a FreeSync monitor would have no benefit if you are using just macOS


However, there is a chance that the 580X will support FreeSync under Windows, although I don't think anybody has tried this yet.


Unless you're playing games, you don't really need a FreeSync monitor anyways.


Hope it helps!
