Hello,

Looking to buy a 27” 1440p monitor <£400 for general purpose home use to team up with a GTX 980 (maybe Ti) and my choice seems to be a 60Hz IPS or 144Hz TN panel.
The Ben-Q GW2765HT and Acer XG270HU are on my short list.

I realise this may be a dumb question but will a Freesync monitor be able to run at 144Hz with an Nvidia card i.e. without using the Freesync technology?
Or in order for them to run at 144Hz do the Freesync tech enabled monitors require an ATI card and G-Sync monitors need an Nvidia card?

It’s just that there seems to be a >£200 premium on G-Sync IPS panels and I’m finding it difficult to justify to myself, spending that much more money.
I might just be able to talk myself into spending Freesync money though. :D

Cheers,
Gary
 
Yep, just like my RoG Swift ran fine as a 144hz display on my old 7970/7990 setup, just without gsync.

I'd really recommend GSync tho. It's worlds better than 144hz alone was for me.
 
Thanks for the replies guys.
Looks like G-Sync does seem the way to go at least until Nvidia Freesync support actually appears.

Cheers.
