Does it matter that much? I know some G-sync owners have reported issues when trying to run AMD cards on G-sync monitors but what's it like the other way around?
If I saw a 1080 or 1070 at the right price I'd be tempted to give it a go, all this waiting with no real news is driving me mad and it'd give me something to mess around with while I wait.
That's interesting, The value of a mark one GTX 1080 may take a bigger nose dive than anyone thinks in the coming months.
480 + Freesync = 1070, basically, experience-wise, because I play at 2560x1080. I've reconsidered getting a 4k TV any time soon so the extra grunt is worth less. I am looking at 3440x1440 screens to upgrade to, but they're just too expensive for what I value them at and ultimately I don't really want an even wider (physically) monitor. This would've been a purely "want" buy rather than need, because nothing's running my 480 ragged yet. So as it stands, I guess I just aren't as excited as I could've been, and not excited enough to switch platforms in order to make it "worthwhile". Happy for those that are upgrading from much older systems tho, they're gonna be thrilled!
