GTX 1070 with G-Sync?

idontknow2254 · Oct 20, 2018

Hi there ya’ll. I’m planning my first build, when I ran into quite a tough question. I want plan on buying a GTX 1070, and I’m buying a 144hz monitor to go along with it. However, should I buy a g sync monitor? I have a fixed budget, so would buying a G-Sync monitor be worth the extra cost? Would the difference be noticeable? Or should I just stick with something like V-Sync? However, I do have ankther option. I could convert to the AMD side and use their cards, because of the inexpensiveness of Freesync. So, the predicament I find myself in: 1070 with G-sync, 1070 with no G-Sync, or a RX 580 with Freeysnc, or Vega 56 used with Freesync. Let me know your thoughts.

Personally I use G-Sync and like it, well I think I do, difficult to know if I notice it, but my gtx970 on a 1440p 144hz screen always seems to be steady and smooth, when I know that sometimes i'm dropping to lower FPS than i'd have liked.

AMD - I'd say wait for new cards... freesync operates in a very narrow band of framerates.

What I’m concerned about is if the 1070 can run most games at 144 fps with say, no lower than medium settings. Is this possible?

what resolution?

1080p.

Will be hard to say how any card performs with lower settings because most review sites benchmark cards using high settings.

Most likely you wont get 144fps consistently in all titles but you'll be within Gsync range and in my experience with Gsync is very good. I have a 1080Ti playing in 1440p and games like Ghost Recon it's bouncing around 60~85fps and its very smooth.

Gsync is worth having even if you couldn't reach maximum refresh rate. A monitor like this is more an investment and will stick with you through many upgrades.

If so, can you show me a budget friendly G-Sync monitor?

Be around 400~500$ for most budget gsync monitors.

Cheapest one i found was Aoc. Seems to have good reviews.
