FreeSync - nVidia 2070 - Triple Screen...does it work?

Is 'FreeSync' going

...I have an ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2070 and it only has 2x Display Ports, so I thought I would test a theory out, attached Display Port Cables to 2 of my 3 AOC monitors, the Centre and Left monitors and plugged the other end into my 2070, the Right side monitor had to have the HDMI.
I went into the nVidia Control Panel and...there it was

'Set Up G-Sync'

...as it was not there before when I had all 3 monitors connected via HDMI ports.
I looked in the AOC monitor OSD settings to see if 'FreeSync' was activated....it was

...OMG...but only on the 2 monitors that have the Display Port cable attached...the Centre and Left monitors on my Triple Screen set up....and the triple screen set up is working as normal in all Sims I have

Question is: Does this mean I have FreeSync running on the Centre and Left monitors

FreeSync is activated on the Centre monitor, connection is via DisplayPort cable

FreeSync is activated on the Left side monitor, connection is via DisplayPort cable

Right side monitor not activated with FreeSync as this is connected with HDMI (not supported)

Is 'FreeSync' running on the centre and left side monitor only...how would I know

Gsync is indeed godly for triple screen sim racing!

It most definitely is. My monitors are only g-sync compatible but it's niht and day racing at 120hz, no tearing or stuttering, absolute game changer.

Yes, Gsync compatible here too.

Rtx 3080 with 3x 1080 / 75hz monitors. My FPS only drop below 75 in night and / or rain (ultra / high settings).

Nice, my problem is I bought a 2070S a week before I decided I need simracing in my life. Only have 2 DP. I really like running a gsync monitor and never want to go back.

I bought my 2070s before I had triples, but it was in the back of my mind that I was going to do it at some point. My 2070s has 3 x DPs
Could always sell it and buy one with 3 instead.

That's the plan, it's the good one, O8G, and I don't overclock it. Unfortunately I've been checking Canadian retailers multiple times per day watching for an asus 3080. Will be awhile before my rig is ready anyway. TY

Ah that sucks. My last card was a 2070s and it’s good card for triples. Good luck.

Yeah, my 2070s is doing so well I'm almost not bothered about getting an upgrade. The only reason I usually do it is so that I get a little higher trade in value to take the sting out of the cost. Thing is these cards right now cost nearly double what I paid for my 2070s not too long ago. A Zotac 3070 at a local retailer here is going for RM3,800!!!
I paid RM2,100 for my last card... Its ridiculous

I saw things getting worse towards the end of last year and realized the 30xx launch was going to be a shitshow. Kind of panicked and spent too much on a really good card thinking I'd be good for a gen or 2. 2070S isn't really good enough for the latest VR so I'm stuck with ultrawide until I can source a 3080. No big deal, going to be awhile yet before I can get my build to that point regardless. I paid more for this 2070S than the 3070's msrp

but it was brand new and not refurbished or open box which kinda felt like winning a lottery at the time. Canadian supply on these cards has been terrible for more than 6 months.
