The MBP 16 supports refresh rates of 47.95, 48, 59.94, and 60Hz. This allows us to match the frame rate (X2) for source video at 24fps and 30fps (and HFR (high frame rate) video at 48 and 60fps). It may be hard to see the difference with the untrained eye (I'm as yet unable to notice any artefacts), but I want to preserve this ability while shopping for external monitors.
This site was created in January 2016 to supply the newest AMD graphics drivers to Boot Camp users who run Windows on their Mac. Official AMD PC drivers are not compatible with Mac versions of the graphics cards by default, leaving Boot Camp users stuck with dated and poorly optimized drivers that are not compatible with the latest games. Apple is extending its support of AMD GPUs to macOS Catalina, with the second developer beta for macOS 10.15.1 enabling Radeon RX5700 compatibility with the operating system, possibly as a first.
I can find very little discussion on this topic -- and a lot of cross chatter.
What displays work with the selectable refresh rates for on the MBP16?
Will FreeSync, designed for gaming, also work to sync a FreeSync-compatible display with source video on a MBP16 (or others)? Would changing the built-in display serve to set an external display at a corresponding frequency?
Does MBP16 even support FreeSync?
Mac With Amd Processor
I have the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8GB version, but there is also a 4GB version and a AMD Radeon Pro 5300M. I think all the 5000-series AMD Radeons support FreeSync, but I'm not sure the MBP utilizes this feature.
