4K Monitor, is G-Sync worth it with GTX 1080 SLI

[Airbornederekc]

I am looking at upgrading to a new monitor now that i have the graphics power to handle it. I was initially torn between a 2K 144Hz Panel and a 4K 60hz panel. I don't think i need to wait, nor could i afford, to get a 120hz 4K monitor so based on the games i play (WOW, Diablo III, Doom, occasional Overwatch) i would be better suited for a 4K monitor at 60hz. The next question will be considering I should always be above 60fps with this hardware, will i see any benefit of using a G-Sync monitor and is it worth the $100 plus price premium? Thanks in advance.

Gsync is a luxury, I think its worth it if you can afford it. Certain games won't scale well with SLI 1080 so it will come in handy there. 2K at 144hz will give you the better overall experience but the 4k 60hz monitor will look better at the expense of speed. Take your pick.
