They will work with any graphics card in terms of producing a picture at the resolution and maximum refresh rate.

But the freesync aspect of the monitor won't do anything. Freesync only works on the newer AMD GPU's, and Gsync is what you'll need if you want the monitor syncing the frames with an Nvidia GPU.

How far are amd behind nvidia 1070/80 cards? I have no problem switching to the red team

any particular reason you want to switch teams and buy a monitor, rather than just buy a Gsync monitor

I have a 970 now and fancy upgrading so was looking at the 1070 or a fury card, I I get the fury card I will have more money for a better monitor, I'm not a nvidia or AMD fanboy I'm happy to buy whichever give me the best value for money and a better monitor

Since you need to buy an AMD card as well as the Freesync monitor, you might as well just use what you would have spent on the AMD card and buy a G-SYNC monitor

And use it with my gtx970?

Those resolutions (2560x1080) will be fine on a 970 with G-Sync.

Anything higher might be an issue.

That's why I was thinking of going red this time because I can get 1440 freesync monitor and fury card for almost £250 less than a gsync1440 monitor and a 1070

£750 for red team
£998 for green team
