Philips Evnia 34" 34M2C8600 and Nvidia

Does this monitor support Nvidia RTX cards? Really like the look of it but concerned that it only has adaptive sync and no g-sync.
I have an LG 32" VA with g-sync module and hoping that the Philips will be a big step up.

Yeah it works with NVIDIa Cards fine

all the adaptive sync screens work with NVIDIA GSync.

Can't speak for that model but I have the Philips 436M6 with adaptive sync and it is one of the better implementations and perfectly acceptable though wider refresh range would be an improvement but it isn't as good as G-Sync with the module.

That's good to know. What's the difference between having a gsync compatible monitor and an adatpive sync then? Would I be losing out on any performance?

Gsync Compatible is just a certification scheme from nvidia of adaptive sync screens. If a screen passes their pretty stringent tests then it earns that badge, and is a good indication the VRR performance is very good. If it lacks that badge, sometimes that can be a warning sign

AMD also have their own certification scheme called “FreeSync Premium” and “FreeSync Premium Pro” designed to do the same thing. Not all screens get put through both programmes though for some reason with nvidia and AMD.

On a new premium tier screen like that EVNIA I wouldn’t be worried about VRR experience tbh
