Silly to downgrade.

sell 1080ti + gsync monitor?

It all boils down to the user and what they feel is a downgrade. Sure 1080ti to vega is a downgrade in performance. But a better monitor is also an upgrade.
So it swings both ways, personally I wouldn't do the change and would wait for Next Gen GPUs by then they should also be more HDR monitors out for better competition.
Not a bad idea if you can get a bit more for the two. It's what AMD was trying to educate people on during the run up to Vega's launch. Personally I find the only off putting thing about Vega is the heat output but I am sensitive to (more grumpy with) heat.

I wouldn't do it.
A slower GPU to drive a bigger screen? What could go wrong...

The Microsoft PC versions don't yet support it and I'm not sure how well those that do have implemented it.

BF1 does.
I know, have edited my post. Didn't see it in the list at first.

Bad idea. HDR on PC does not even work properly as of yet. Plus there is still not a proper HDR monitor out yet.
The next monitor worth buying is something like the ROG SWIFT PG27UQ imo. I am giving that one a miss as in my opinion the monitors worth splashing serious cash on will be OLED ones. That is why I recently upgraded to 4K G-Sync at a somewhat decent price as it will see me through until we get OLED gaming monitors.
OLED when it comes will finally take gaming monitors to the next level. Just look at the quality of the colours and especially the blacks on the Dell OLED. Completely on another level to anything else.

True story though, the bigger the Resolution the less the gab between the Ti and Vega.
The biggest gab between the two is at 1080p with 1440p and above the gab becomes much less. Obviously this depends on game to game.

Wouldn't touch an Asus Swift with a barge pole.

Care to elaborate? The monitor I am talking about is not even out. Plus that was just an example. Acer will have their version and so will a few others probably.

I know where jigger is coming from the current crop of monitors are such a lottery on whether you will get a good one or not why do you think the next releases will be any better ?
I dont get why people bang on about HDR as though its the next big thing for the PC its not all that. The HDR movies I have watched do add to the pq but I can live without it. Its not a necessity or a benefit to me. Its kind of nice to have if it just so happens to be included but its not something I would go out of my way to buy. Would rather get an OLED monitor that is perfect over an LED monitor with HDR. Its pish its pash.

Wait for the Samsung GSync monitors later this year, to check the prices. If they charge the £670 Freesync monitor for £1000+ (C35HG75 for example) because of the gsync module, simply then is the time to sell everything, switch to AMD and forget that NV even exists.
And indeed, the pricing of Gsync monitors is stupid. Is far better purchase to buy an OLED TV for gaming.
Caporegime
I am sure if I posted another company who will be using the same panel/tech to release a monitor someone else would be along to say they would not touch xxx with a barge poll
The point was the type of monitor, no idea why people fixating on the company as quite a few will release one eventually.

At least you agree with me that it is a down grade. HDR is so new and bugger all out there supports it yet other than a couple of games, so trading in a 1080Ti for a Vega64 would be silly. Many other decent monitors coming that will do HDR wonderfully.
Soldato
Still a sizeable gap though: https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1937?vs=1939 and thats a FE 1080Ti, a reasonable AIB one is about 5% faster than that.
Seems the 1080Ti is 20%+ faster in every test. It's the reason I returned my Vega 64 and bought a Ti as I got a 4k TV.
To OP if you need to upgrade the monitor I am assuming you mean higher res ie 4k in which case you would be upgrading the monitor and downgrading the graphics card. Can't see any reason to do it, just save for a new monitor with 4k and Gsync that is bigger, longer term it makes more sense.
Soldato
That is correct, one two meny last night haaI assume gab = gap?
Otherwise I have never heard of this 'gab' you speak off.

^^^^ There aren't that many Gsync monitors around tho, compared to Freesync offerings.
With my Ti1080 I had very limited choice with a 4k 32" monitor to choose if I wanted Gysnc, one Acer XB321HK and that was it...! That monitor has twenty pages plus worth of reported issues on each one sold. It also only has HDMI 1.4, if you have a media device or console to connect then you have a problem. I also didn't like the style, putting aside its fault. I could not believe how I was trying to reconcile buying that monitor with its known fault just because there wasn't another 32" Gsync 4k that I could find.
I ended up with a BenQ PD3200U 32" Ultra HD, which does not have Gsync. But connectivity wise, and other qualities, it suited my needs better.
The price and range of choice for Gsync is bad, I don't bother much about FPS type of games and I haven't noticed tearing with the Benq. That is more of a reflection of the games I play I think but it would have been nice to have had a wider choice, especially without the big price hike.
I even held off before getting a Ti (and missed out on a cheap EVGA SC card at £600) to see what Vega offered, when it lunched tho I wasn't impressed enough to buy into that GPU. Perhaps considering the card and monitor as a complete package it could be different. I might not have given that enough consideration.
