FreeSync with Nvidia

[machukss]

I am on the nvidia side in GPU's but my friend is giving me a bargain (aoc g2460pf for 50$) Should i cheap out and the aoc g2460pf would be enough or do i really need to go out and spend a ton of money into a gsync? Would the drawbacks be huge if i got the aoc g2460pf?

You won't get adaptive sync. Nvidia could support free-sync but choose not to. Their g-sync option is better, but costly.

Unless you have a very high end GPU, you won't be able to sustain 144fps. And so you would have to set your refresh rate to match whatever FPS you can sustain to avoid tearing.

The monitor itself is a fairly basic TN panel. Being neither the worst nor best out there. For $50 bucks it is hard to go wrong.

$50 for a $200+ monitor? Get it, even if you can't use the Freesync the price is worth it and capping out the FPS to match the GPU is perfect as long as the dips aren't too drastic.
