NVIDIA G-SYNC

I have a NVIDIA G-SYNC monitor and wondering if i should stick with Nvidia graphics cards? So is they any benefit from sticking with Nvidia cards for my next upgrade over AMD or are they both the same .

Depends on the monitor. Some will support other vrr tech and some won't.
As to the difference between freesync and g-sync there's basically no noticeable difference between them on monitors that support both.

Frustratingly I can't find confirmation one way or the other, and it came out just about the time that monitors all started supporting both. So may have to find someone who's tried it. Or a buddy with an amd gpu to test it

Just to be clear it will work at the full refresh rate with an amd gpu. Its just the variable refresh rate that you'd be missing out on.

I'd personally stick with an Nvidia card, but there's no obligation to if you get the specs right.

That monitor has the dedicated G-Sync module and won't support any form of VRR with an AMD GPU though will as above support the full refresh rate. Personally I'd stick with an nVidia GPU as I wouldn't want to lose G-Sync/VRR.

I would stick to Nvidia. AMD are too far behind them, particularly looking at both their roadmaps

What GPU was you looking at and what GPU do you have now

Depends entirely on the OPs budget, in the midrange Nvidia is awful value for money.

I have a 1080ti and was thinking about upgrading sometime next year, it seems like I will be sticking with nvidia unless I change monitor.

If the AMD gpu you get as plenty of power your fine, if you looking at the lower end I’d go nvidia

If I found the right monitor @1440 165hz I would stick with nvidia
