Not sure about AMD. I have a secondary gpu ( 5600xt). On this i think setting frame limits did not work well for some reason or was not needed.
Best to google/experiment.
How to set up FreeSync correctly? It's astonishing how much conflicting information there is on very basic questions concerning FreeSync.
I'd like to have some straight forward answers to these questions: AMD_Robert suggests that you're supposed to use Vsync and Freesync together. Others on the internet claim that you're supposed to turn Vsync off and that Robert's info is wrong or outdated. What's the consensus in 2020...
Do enable freesync + probably vsync too globally. And then test freesync by enabling frame counter in monitor osd if available. Instead of fixed 144, monitor rate should move with game frame rate. You may need to run full screen.
Once you get used to it, turning it off on a game with varying frame rate can quickly feel choppy.

My graduation present for myself is here! Got an iPad Mini 6th gen to replace my Kindle Paperwhite (not the one in pictures, which is a 10th Gen Kindle to give an idea about the relative size). Debated long and hard about the ideal replacement from my 10th gen Paperwhite and after about a week of research, settled on a used iPad Mini.
I was primarily looking for a larger screen and USB-C, along with a more powerful device (for the occasional web browsing) and while there are e-rink devices which do that (was particularly interested in the PocketBook Era and Boox Go 7 Color), they cost either the same or not much less than a used iPad Mini - which made the decision easier.
Reading at night with minimum brightness and blue light filter (set to nearly 80% on the slider) is still not easy on the eyes as the Kindle, but is definitely better than an AMOLED phone; and actually not that much worse than a front-lit eink panel. Have not noticed any changes to my sleeping pattern for the last week that I've had it, which I'm taking as a good sign but any other pointers are of course appreciated.
On another note, I think this is probably the best device that Apple has released in the last decade. I don't know why exactly, but I was just not expecting it to be so compact, small, lightweight yet so powerful and just perfect for what it is! It's the perfect companion tablet for someone who already owns a 12"-14" convertible ultrabook and a large phone. Planning to get an Apple Pencil soon to use it for notes and ideation since it's very similar in size to a compact notebook. I personally got a great deal at $275 for the iPad Mini, Folio case and AppleCare+ till June 2025 - which is only $5 more than what a new Boox Go 7 Color would have cost me, and I was not comfortable spending that much money on a single purpose device. Absolutely amazing device (apart from the non-expandable 64GB of storage and no headphone jack, but at least it has a USB-C port).

I own iPad Mini 6 and as you said, it is one of the best media consumption devices out there. I use it for regular browsing, watching youtube and offline videos. The iPad (like all apple devices) just feels so responsive.
The screen size and portability of this just feels right.
Regular iPad is too big for me and phone with it longish side doesn't work well for stuff like magazines (I use lobby and jio news app) doesn't work well.
iPad mini is just perfect. Yes it will confuse a potential user as bigger base iPad is cheaper but if you know your use case, mini is great and I hope apple doesn't discontinue this with their ever increasing phone sizes.
