Is there any reason to get a G-Sync or Freesync monitor if I already have one with a 144hz refresh rate? It's mostly for gayming.
Depends, do you always get a minimum of +144 fps in every game?
With g/f sync you get no tearing and a lot less stuttering at lower fps.

Nope.

Gotcha. Thanks!
Does a game have to be programmed to be G or Freesync compatible or does the monitor automatically detect how many frames you're getting and adjust itself accordingly?
>>62168342
Monitor adjusts.

input lag is more important for gaming
>>62168881
I know but seeing screen tear and massive dips in dreams rate triggers me.
>>62168937
Then you will never git gud
>>62168957
You BASTARD
>>62168881
Modern gsync panels have no more input lag than vanilla vsync.

RIP GPU.

>using a graphics card to its full potential will kill it
Hmm, really made me think.
>>62167816
Not unless you wanted to go to 1440p 144hz IPS free-sync
or 4k 60hz IPS free-sync
G-sync is never worth it
If you don't have a form of adaptive sync any time at all you are below max framerate the best you can display with v-sync is literally half that.

Unnecessary extra power/heat generation will affect the life of the GPU. And it's fan if it has to work harder every day.

Depends on if the card is overclocked to its max potential and if you live in the Arizona desert. These days a graphics card can handle max loads for long periods just fine, they're made for that.

Gsync has 120hz backlight strobing which makes it worth it. Freesync 2 has it finally I believe, and guess what, freesync 2 is more expensive to implement than vanilla freesync.
>>62170297
What does backlight strobing do?
1.) Samsung CF24G70
2.) Viewsonic XG2401
2.) AOC AG241QX
3.) LG 24GM79G
4.) Nixeus NX-VUE24A
5.) AOC G2460PF
6.) Asus MG248Q
which one can you recommend to me? price/quality ?
>>62170389
It's called ULMB or ultra low motion blur. It basically emulates the strobing on a CRT which eliminates the motion blur from the sample and hold effect. The downside is a lot of earlier gsync monitors and ghosting due to poor timing between the refresh rate and strobe rate. It's really nice now, although I dont own one, only tries it out. There are some vendor neutral ones as well, no idea what the quality is like.

>1440p 144hz IPS free-sync
I want this, which monitor is the one to go with?
>>62170297
Pretty sure you can't use G-sync with ULMB, but G-sync displays all come with ULMB I think
>>62170549
Pixio's monitor was $399 but it's not back in stock yet
>>62170297
Freesync 2 has nothing to do with low persistence mode/blur reduction/strobing, it's totally up to the monitor manufacturer to include which several do on some models. Benq XL series, LG 34UC79G, and the Samsung CFG series are a couple Freesync monitors with optional blur reduction modes.

>but G-sync displays all come with ULMB I think
They don't, nVidia likely have some standard that must be met before they'll enable their ULMB branded strobing mode. The ROG PG348Q, Acer Predator Z271, AOC AG352UCG are some examples of G-Sync monitors without ULMB available.
