SLI or G-Sync

[Supa Koopa]

So I've given up on the upgrade train as I don't think there's a massive improvement to be had jumping from a 780ti to a 980 for an extra gig of vram. I'll wait a year or two and look again.

So I'm still tempted with a second 780ti for sli but was wondering if that money would be better spent on a gsync monitor. I love my Dell 27 ips screen and it's only 6 months old but the tearing is doing my head in a bit. I've tried v-sync and adaptive v-sync but it just feels weird or slower.

Christmas is round the corner and I've got my chrimbo money to spend so would you go sli on the 780ti's or would you save up a bit and get an Asus ROG Swift? Or does a swift need sli to get the best out of it anyway to approach 144hz for the new titles?

Asus ROG Swift without a doubt. I am very biased though, so might be better to see what others say.

You'll get more out of an ASUS ROG Swift.
You'll get even more out of an ASUS ROG Swift with SLI on top.

Bias is fine so long as it's a genuine opinion.

I realise it's difficult to appreciate without actually seeing one but is the difference that much greater.

Get The swift first its a noticiable Upgrade .. then save for a 2nd Card which will look same just more FPS and may be cheaper later down the line

Lol, I knew someone would say that.

Cheers guys, looks like this should have gone in the monitor section, I thought I would get more votes for gpu's.

I just need to find somewhere to actually see one in the flesh so to speak.

Also biased as it is what I have, but in my defence I tried a 1440p@60hz, 4K@60hz and the rog swift side by side and the rog won despite the price.

Bugger! I knew this was going to be an expensive thread before I started it.

Exactly the same as me.

I had the Dell IPS, which was a real nice deep coloured image. Went to the Sasung the same as you and then went to the Swift and having tested all 3 thoroughly, I would say the Swift wins out easily.

I couldn't stand the tearing and input lag from a 60Hz screen and the Swift certainly sorted out those horrendous things.
