HELP ME SPEC A G-SYNC MONITOR

Hello,

I want to by a Nvidia card but I didn't realise how expensive the G-Sync monitors are! I'm looking for 144hmz, 24'' and G-Sync for around £200. Can this be done?

Thank you .

Not a chance.

G-sync alone adds at least £100 on the price of any monitor.

You'll be looking at £300 minimum for a monitor that matches your requirements, and £400-£500 for the better makes.

HOLY MOTHER OF CHRIST.

Looks like i'll be getting the RX480 afterall...

Why on earth have they done that.

why not? Freesync is mostly software based and licensed for free.
G-Sync is hardware based and attracts a premium.

Because Gsync is a superior solution, but a more expensive one to implement

Heck, I don't suppose there's a G-sync monitor with 1440p/144Hz and at least 1 HDMI for £500 max? Actually that isn't too unreasonable of a budget. It's just the panel lottery to compete with.
