Fps Vs freesync?

[mediamatt]

Hi,

Still trying to decide between heart (2700x/Vega64) and head (8086k/1080ti) and wondered if you thought AMD route using Freesync would be better? I thought Freesync would just stop the tearing but have been told today that it would also make the game much smoother (banking over in flight simulation for example). Would love to go AMD if only to put fingers up to Intel and Nvidia but don't want to spend tons and have poor performance.

Thoughts?

I so want to go all AMD but on a different forum dedicated to flight simulation EVERYBODY is saying to avoid AMD as the they are rubbish (X Plane uses opengl) and that intel still has far superior IPC which is what XP uses .

Which one??

It is 2560x1440. Will look at that link

Them charts show even the 580 isn't far off the 1080ti as the engine is CPU heavy . Wonder if the 2700x would be close to the 8700k with them same gpus

Anyone with a 2700x and 580/Vega 54/Vega 64 would try it out for me? X Plane 11 with high settings??

Someone told me today that freesync doesn't work on opengl. X Plane 11 uses opengl so this woulw be devastating for my "all AMD" plan. Anyone know if that's true?

But freesync 2 has to be on the monitor doesn't it? The cards get it with an update?

Argh so torn. My monitor has 48-75hz freesync range but you can overclock that can't you to say 30-75? Even if not I could put the settings high enough where it looks good but doesn't drop below 50fps and get buttery smooth?
