Hello. I have Gigabyte Aorus AD27QD and XBOX ONE X. VRR ( variable refresh rate ) i can enabled. I heard that peoples had problems with this.
Monitor is connected to HDMI 2.0 Not 2.1 but 2.0. And i can enable VRR on video settings. How is this possible? I heard that with 2.0 i cant enable VRR.

Its fine,leave it?
 
You can if you have a rtx / gtx 16xx gpu. Nvidia backported it so you don't have to necessarily use hdmi 2.1+
Also : what's your native language?
 
I am polish. Sorry for bad language. So its fine HDMI 2.0 and i can enableVRR ?
 
Do you happen to own one of the latest Nvidia GPUs? Half a year ago, Nvidia made VRR available to those what was thought to be an HDMI 2.1 exclusive feature.

Also have a look at this and this reddit thread.

The only limitation for HDMI 2.0 is you can only use it with 4K@60hz iso 4K@120hz with HDMI 2.1.
 
Not sure how nvidia is helpful in connecting an Xbox One X to a monitor... but OK.

With HDMI 2.1, VRR is part of the HDMI specification, in HDMI 2.0 it is optional (or rather, not officially supported) - which is why you "heard" it's not possible. A lot of monitors support it without issues though, so it makes sense you can enable it. Don't see a reason why this would be an issue. When the Monitor reports it as supported to the device, chances are it is supported.

You said you can enable it already and it works, so what exactly is your question here? You can always disable it if you have any issues in the future.
 
Just ask. So HDMI 2.1 is not necesarry to enable VRR? HDMI 2.0 will work too like in my situation?
