Do I need a G Sync card on second PC for multi room setup?

If I stream from main PC with Nvidia to lounge PC with AMD Radeon via gigabit cables and router, do I still get G sync output to the lounge TV while connected to the Radeon GPU?

No - the receiving end will receive the frame data as an image and then output as per its local setup same as playing a video, etc.

So I need to find a GTX 1050 for the second PC to be able to output G Sync?

I was already planning as such, but the shortages don't help.

Will shop around for a 4K screen that supports both freesync and g sync if such exists.

It is a difficult setup to properly support G-Sync as the frames aren't being generated locally to the receiving end so may be out of sync with G-Sync on the receiving end causing some irregular frame pacing.

Ideally you want a streaming setup that can render a fairly high frame rate either V-Sync or G-Sync into a reasonably high i.e. 100-120Hz or so V-Sync on the TV end.

LG CX TVs are specified to have both Freesync and G Sync, so it will look like I'll get one of those and try with v sync / freesync initially.

Variable Sync does not work over remote play at all.

Oh ok, good to know.

Hopefully shouldn't be noticeable at a distance and I guess I will only use it for 2D games to begin with.

There is no direct link between the rendering GPU and the TV, so it's pretty pointless trying to achieve this.
