No need for 30Hz: LFC extends the effective range of any compatible monitor to 30 FPS or less
How it works: Adaptive algorithm multiplies GPU output and refreshes to enforce dynamic refresh
Simple: Automatically enabled on all AMD FreeSync™-ready monitors where max refresh is ≥2.5X min. refresh
FPS vs. Refresh Rate VSync AMD FreeSync™ Without LFC AMD FreeSync™ With LFC
FPS < Min Refresh Rate ON No Tearing, Motion Judder No tearing, smooth motion
FPS < Min Refresh Rate OFF Tearing, Low Motion Judder Reduced tearing, lower motion judder

Without LFC: 35 FPS is the DRR limit for this display,
< 35 FPS can create judder as display falls back to VSync
