Just wondering what people's experiences out there on this topic are.
I currently have a Predator XB270HU which is 144hz + g-sync.
Yesterday out of curiosity I gamed most of the evening with g-sync OFF and I have to say I noticed almost no difference at all. Now I'm not hating on g-sync far from it, previous to this I had a Predator XB271HK which was 4k + g-sync but only 60hz and the g-sync on/off difference was night and day.
Understandably on the 4k screen I was gaming at somewhere between 55-70fps and on the current 1440p setup my games can run anywhere between 110-150ish fps so I'm assuming that must make at least some difference?
The bottom line is if I want to change monitor in the future do I need to shackle myself to a g-sync monitor or could I liberate my wallet and go a freesync/non freesync such the new Samsung VA QD monitors so long as they are 144+hz?
