G-Sync on a FreeSync monitor query?

Space Monkey · 5 Mar 2019 at 20:21

Hi guys,

With the recent news that some or many FreeSync monitors now work with GTX GPUs, whether that's with Nvidia's certification or not, my question is this, how does the experience fare with a GTX card on a FreeSync monitor vs a GTX card on a G-Sync monitor?

My noggin is telling me that it wouldn't be as good but I've no experience so would love some input?

TIA

@Rroff thanks, that's a good piece of insight.

I'm obviously considering a FS monitor as they are a lot cheaper, but if I'm going to run into troubles then it seems worth paying the extra.

So even with an Nvidia card I'll need to somehow check if the G-Sync monitor has any issues?

I came from an Acer XB271HU to an LG 34GK950F-B and the Gsync implementation has been flawless imo, as good as the Acer (at least so far!). Very happy

So it still feels silky smooth?

Thanks guys, I'll look into it some more, currently eyeing up the Alienware 240Hz monitors and there's £200 between them

So as I run all my games full screen, is that the best option or am I mis-reading it?

Ah, I never knew that, is there a way to check which games do that or is it a case of just trying each one?
