Vsync solves that.
But VSync also adds latency. I've got a ROG Swift on it's way to me, will Gsync solve it too ?

I am seriously thinking of this card, https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-056-IN&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1402
the air boss ultra, don't particularly like the look but it seems higher clocks than most and its now in my price range. Any comments.
Come on guys there are quite a few of you got the X3 version of this whats it like.

Yes. Set a frame limit of 1 below your refresh rate using Afterburner for all games. Doing that will ensure that Vsync never gets used, and Gsync does its magic instead. You will also never reach a frame rate that induces coil whine.
Didn't think of Afterburner, if I just set a limit of 150 will that have any downsides ?

You can now turn off vsync entirely under the gsync options and set the frame limiter to the full 144, bam no input lag as vsync is completely off
You want to set it to equal or lower than the monitors maximum refresh rate, otherwise with vsync off you'll get tearing above 144

Yes because Gsync works best when below the refresh rate as it syncs the GPU and screen at the same Hz. It can't make your screen up its Hz but it can make your GPU match the screen Hz. This is why you set 1 below refresh rate, it ensures they are always syncing.
Actually, you should have game settings high enough that you shouldn't be able to achieve 1fps below refresh rate. That's why you bought a 1440p Gsync monitor.

Save £40 and buy the Zotac AMP Edition instead?
Mine boosts to 1265@stock & clocks to around 1430-1450core / 7700-7800mem, which are the same speeds as CEUOTC's AMP Edition from the last page.
( and typically it's now £10 cheaper than when I bought mine last Friday

Any sag with that card in the case? Looks pretty beefy to say the least, much in the way of fan noise? Seen one review say its virtually silent and he had to get up to check if the fans were spinning.

The card is not as heavy as you would think ( feels quite light) and no sag ( only been fitted a day ). And i cannot hear the fans over the case fans, which are pretty quiet.

Why buy a Gsync monitor and switch Gsync off?
Typo, not gsync off, vsync off. There is now a separate option for having gsync on but vsync off.
Soldato
Ah, makes sense now... Although I wouldn't notice the extra frame.
ULMB
I'd love to think I could run a game at the settings I wanted and still reach the FPS needed for ULMB.

Got my bios unlocked on both, atm the highest i can push is 1525 on both cards, very please considering they are just reference (under water).
One of them is more than capable of hitting 1560, but the other can't break past 1525 - adding volts seem to make little difference tbh.
ASCI is 78% on the one hitting 1560, 70 odd on the one @ 1525.

Which takes me back to SLi solution I suppose - what's the current thinking for SLi 980tis? Reference design blower I guess - any of them better than any of the others or is it just price and warranty at that point?

Just noticed this. A couple of things:
- Do not ever limit your frame's outside of the game itself. Always use the internal in game limiter as this will reduce lag
- Andy is right - you can now configure each and every game to use GSYNC independently of each other

SLI on air would be better with reference cards and a mobo with decent spacing between the slots.
I've never owned a reference card, so I don't know which would be best.
Is water cooling something you would plan to do in future? If so, choose cards that you can get blocks for?
