Title: G-Sync
Post by: Snarknado on December 02, 2019, 09:23:55 pm

I ordered a new system with a Nvidia RTX 2070 Super card before I did my homework on G-Sync monitors. From what I'm seeing so far I'm regretting going with Nvidia instead of AMD and Freesync. At any given price point it looks like I get less with a G-Sync monitor - size, resolution, refresh rate. Anyone else dealing with this scenario?

I keep this list of IPS displays in my archives. Might be worth checking out:

Thanks - that list looks recent and has quite a few freesync but not one g-sync - why would that be? I have to think some of the freesync's listed are also g-sync-compatible but none say so.

Yesterday I saw a beautiful $200 32" LG 1440p 144Hz freesync. The lowest price I saw on a g-sync was $330 for a 24" 1080p 240Hz.
