Just a quick question if you are using a 60hz freesync monitor and lets say your fps drops to 40 would it feel like you was playing on a 40hz monitor or still feel as though you was on a 60hz monitor. Was just wondering what the impact would feel like on fps games.
 
40fps will still largely feel like 40fps - FreeSync will help to smooth out the transitions a bit and you won't have to make the normal compromise between latency and screen tearing so it isn't identical experience to 40fps on a non-adaptive sync monitor. When you get dips like from 60 to 50fps then adaptive sync goes a long way towards making that more playable and feel less like a lower framerate than the equivalent on a non-adaptive sync monitor but once you start really going down to the 40s and below there is only so much the technology can do.
 
Most cheaper Freesync monitors only Freesync down to 48Hz.

I've been using Freesync triples for a few weeks now on my Sim Racing rig. Generally I'm impressed. I've only noticed tearing in the low 40fps, and iRacing very rarely dips that low ... and then it's the CPU running out of grunt causing it.
 
Thanks guys i have a 32" 75hz freesync monitor but a gtx1070 which will only run at 60hz due to frame stutter when being used at 75hz been looking at AMD cards to match with it but theres nothing out there that seems it will hit 75fps at 1440p unless you go vega but the prices are terrible

You wanna buy me three of those? Not even selling my Vega would get close to covering it! :D

yeah those cost more. Basically if your framerate is low, below the freesync range, it corrects it

So for myself whose got a RX480 which is a good but not £1000 GPU driving a 1440 monitor, sub optimal fps are a result for some games and newer AAA games so no problem.
