sounds like the gsync and freesync monitors are just a marketing gimmick to boost the price
Both methods seems really confusing

Was doing some testing at 4K trying to get nice settings that will also give me not many drops below 60 FPS. Interestingly an i7 920 at 3.2GHz had about 20% SLI scaling with my two 970s. At 4GHz it was around 60%+
With the 6 core Xeon @ 4.4GHz I was seeing 70-90% in the 5 bench tests. Not bad for an ancient chip
Sadly I cannot test SLI on the 2700K as one of my 970s decided about a month ago that it will just not work on that mobo...

I have settings that run 60 FPS @ 4K (single Titan X) if you want to try them out
Edit: GTA V doesn't like FRAPS Lol
X5650 (Socket 1366)
As long as you aren't going mad with the VRAM then sure
My current settings are basically Grass, Shaders, Shadows, Post Process to High, MSAA off and the rest to maximum. I believe the game reckons about 3300MB VRAM for that.
I haven't really looked into them if I'm honest but surely they are still overpriced for some "anti-tearing" tech not exactly ground breaking is it?
I'm sure you can give a more knowledgeable reply though with your Titan x and special monitor

It's a bit more than anti tearing.
Essentially, the refresh rate of the monitor will match the framerate - one benefit of this is when frames drop low, you don't get the the 'laggyness' (input delay). Ever tried to shoot players when you're dropping down to 30fps or less and the movement in game is about half a second behind your mouse movement?
Basically, it eliminates (or tries to) stuttering, input lag, tearing, motion blur - makes things much much smoother.

Gsync is Not over priced, and it is very much ground breaking. It's all about what you value. If you're happy looking at a tearing jumpy image when the tech exists to remove it, then good for you.
And freesync, is free, but we won't mention that.
From what I've seen, I'm getting a very steady 60-70% usage across all 8 threads of a 2600k at 4.4Ghz. Playing at 1440p Gsyncd at 85Hz (85Hz helps with smoother overall consistency for this title - odd) with SLI 780Ti's. I hit 85fps consistently a lot of the time by the way.
The GPUs peg along at anything between about 60% each to 98% each depending on location.
Have to say I'm pretty happy with all of it. However, I was playing for a bit the other day and noticed my top GPU was running at lower clocks and lower volts for most of the session, and it wasn't throttling as it was under 80 degrees. I played again yesterday and both cores were pegging along at full clock speed and volts at all times. Really weird, but perhaps the game is a bit twitchy at the moment and a few more patches are in order.
