macOS Monterey will support smoother screen updates with Adaptive SyncWhat you need to know
macOS Monterey will support Adaptive Sync for improved screen refreshes.
Variable screen refreshes make for a better gaming experience.
But it'll only work on some Macs.
Apple has confirmed that macOS Monterey, due to release later this year, will include native support for Adaptive Sync on external displays. The announcement came as part of a WWDC developer session as the week-long event comes to an end.
The support of Adaptive Sync will depend on a few things, though. It'll work on all Macs with Apple silicon inside, so M1 chips and newer. Some Intel Macs will also work just fine, but it depends on the connectivity options they have. DisplayPort 1.2a connectivity will be required and it just so happens that's the same tech that powers Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync.
