Does anyone have any experience of either,

Ive got a 1080ti so I'm leaning towards the predator, but i don't want to splash out 650 notes on a monitor when i can't find any reviews, the Asus, on the other hand, is kinda cheaper and looks ok, but no g-sync

does the Asus Rog allow Nvidia cards to run it @144hz also in the comparison i found a cheap AOC monitor for 400 quid that is kinda similar specs again not sure

i don't want a widescreen. anyway any help would be appreciated

You said you don't want a widescreen but all modern monitors today are widescreen,

Here is link about 'Nvidia cards to run it @144hz'

I have a Acer predator XB321HK cost me £715. it is a nice 32inch 10bit panel IPS screen with Gsync 3840x2160 resolution But like all Acer predators there is a Gsync module problem in the monitor it was reported back in 2016 on the acer forums, I sent it for a repair it's now been with Acer for 10 days and still waiting think twice before buying Acer I learned my lesson.

to Answer you question on the Acer Predator Gaming Z321QU there is only a few reviews online I have seen and the price £476 but I can't post the link on this forum.

thanks for that, I'm gaming on a free sync monitor at the moment on this GeForce card no problems, looking at the reviews I'm gonna go for the AG322QCX it uses a modified Samsung panel the same one as in the Asus. save me some dosh and get that.

Gsync is all just hype market crap, I should have gone for a free sync monitor from LG, and save over £135 myself I never buy Acer again, I had the GTX1080 TI xtreme edition nice card but it died on me now I have to buy another on todays prices.

Ended up getting Aoc Agon AG322QCX for £400, very nice monitor needed a wee bit of tweaking, no dead pixels so that was a relief. 144hz is amazing playing FPS games, my 1080ti tears through it @ 1440p. Anyway thanks for your input Aorus...

I been looking for a 32" GSYNC monitor. Came across this post, do the freesync monitors work ok with Nvidia cards? namely the 1080tis. The price difference is crazy compared to the GSYNC variations. I mostly do motion graphics and play FPS games.

Was going to go for the Predator Z321QU for £640. But £400 freesync is tempting if it doesnt make much difference.
