G-Sync really worth it?

It eliminates stutter.

But if you have no stutter to begin with, theres no difference.

This is what I thought, however it's the removal of tearing that is most welcome and gives the fluidity combined with higher refresh rate. The stutter is still there sub 60fps but it's harder to tell. It's not at all accurate to say 60fps+ and it's not noticeable.

Yes, it's a total game changer. I wouldn't go back to PC gaming without it, or at least an equivalent.

Majority of people dont notice tearing at >100hz

Really? It's painfully obvious in even slow FPS games like Skyrim...

It is pretty great...

I've just moved to a 1440p monitor with G-Sync and I have a GTX 970 - So in some games I can struggle on everything max at 1440p - But with G-Sync the gameplay is much smoother than if I don't have G Sync on.
