G-Sync or SLI?

[cobhc]

Hey guys, looking at 21:9 1440p monitors and I'm wondering if I should either add another 980 Ti to my rig and go for a monitor without G-Sync; or stick with one card and go for a G-Sync monitor, as the price difference is about the same.

What are your thoughts?

G sync monitor first.

 

[llamadal]

Gsync hands down

Another vote for Gsync

G-Sync, SLI support just isn't that great atm.

I'll Echo what everyone else has said.

I currently have a 980ti plus 1440p g-sync monitor, I added a second 980ti but quite honestly apart from the FPS counter showing a higher number it really didn't add anything to my experience and only really caused a few issues with SLI being fairly poorly supported recently.

So I sold the second GPU last week and again, thanks to g-sync if I turn the FPS counter off I couldn't tell you I only had 1 card working away apart from one or two moments (and I mean a few seconds) in Witcher 3 with hair-works turned on.

I've had both SLI and G-Sync and G-Sync makes a much bigger difference to overall smoothness in everything I played.

Hmm wonder if there are any giant gsync screens. I play on 50"

Pretty convincing statements here guys. Guess I'm plonking out £1000 on a monitor at some point then lol.

If your wanting a 34" I'd wait a week or two as the Asus ROG should finally be out and might make pricing changes on other monitors.

G sync monitor first, with the option of a second 980Ti when you're good and ready.

G-Sync now.
Another 980Ti after Pascal comes out.

 

[heatonpkmassive]

G-Sync definitely.

VRR monitor. It's only a matter of time until Nvidia will have to support it.

As said, Gsync now and then later a next-gen card/Ti
