Ok so I'm currently looking to upgrade my monitor, I'm currently using a 60Hz PLS panel (overclocked to 70Hz) but I want to get a 144Hz panel for fast paced games and especially CSGO...
However I'm really torn on what to do, I currently have a R9 280X which I know is not a great performer on 1440p and the only freeSync options for gaming are 1440p... So I'm wandering if it would be worth it to get the Benq XL2730Z as I would be banking on FreeSync to give me a smooth experience in games where my 280X can't hold it's own and still get the great 144Hz experience in games like CS...
The other option would be to get a cheaper G-Sync monitor like the AOC g2460Pg, sell my 280X and buy a 970, however this would still cost me more as I can't expect to get that much back from my year old 280X...
Last option would be to just get a plain simple 1080p 144Hz panel with no "sync" at all for alot cheaper and rather live with some stutters and tearing...
what do you think? Right now I'm leaning more towards the freeSync option...
