Freesync v2

[Dreadnought]

On a monitor with the Freesync range of 40-75Hz, which one is the best scenario? 

1. 45-50fps with Freesync ON

2. Stable 60fps with Freesync ON

3. Stable 60fps with Freesync OFF

4. 90-100fps with Freesync ON

5. 90-100fps with Freesync OFF

 

You can use (1>2>3...) or (1>2=3<4=5)

Scenario 1 is where freesync will show what it can do. That's the sort of stuff it is designed for.

 

Scenario 2 and 3, seems pointless to have freesync? It's stable and the monitor can keep up so that's fine.

If it's unstable, freesync will help a LOT

 

4 and 5 should give the same experience because it's out of the freesync range, but it should give the best gaming experience because you can always fully utilize the 75hz refresh rate of the monitor.

But I've seen that you will get screen tearing if your fps is out of your display capability (100fps on a 75Hz monitor)

Yea, that can happen, but i'm not sure if freesync helps for that.

What i can tell you is that i have a freesync setup myself and haven't seen tearing in months so i don't think it's something you need to worry about. It's imo rare to have.

I have LG 24MP68VQ (75Hz Freesync monitor), should I get RX 460 2GB ($77) or GTX 970 ($97)? With the RX 460, I will get a lower fps but I will be able to utilize Freesync. And with GTX 970, I will get a higher fps, but I won't be able to utilize Freesync 

Which one do you think is a better choice?

Get an RX 580? You should be able to find a used one

The cheapest (used) RX 570 & 580 4GB cost $140 in my country, and my max budget for gpu is $100

save up some more money then, if you can. 8gb is better, obviously.
