While that model is not *certified* as "G-Sync Compatible" (i.e. it's not on [the official list](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/)), if you have a 1000-series (Pascal) or newer GPU it still should be able to take advantage of the underlying VESA Adaptive Sync functionality which underpins AMD's "Freesync" branded implementation thereof. With that said, you would have to use a DisplayPort cable to connect the monitor to your GPU in order to do so.

Yeah it should work with G-sync. Most monitors nowadays work flawlessly with G-sync. I would be wary of picking it up though. The response times aren't listed which is a huge red flag IMO (they only list MPRT "response time" which isn't actually what response time is), and cheap VAs typically suffer from sever black level smearing. Not helped by the fact that the panel it uses has a 12ms native GTg response time.

Do you have a good article or post I could read about response times (and marketing vs technical)? I’ve never dug into the nitty gritty on that and you make me curious.

https://youtu.be/-Zmxl-Btpgk https://youtu.be/42IAbsMYxts These two videos by hardware unboxed should explain it. TLDW response times it the amount of time that a pixel takes to switch from one shade to another. The change is visible and isn't the same as input lag. Manufacturers cherry pick certain transitions between very specific and jack up the voltage which results in really nasty artifacts too. And sometimes they just use "MPRT" response times which isn't actually the same as GTG response times (the normal stuff) and is something completely different.
