Looking for the proper monitor for me

I don't particularly need ultrawide.
Also, I heard they were expanding g-sync certification to freesync monitors but I didn't realize they were making cards compatible with freesync. I'm going to do some digging into that. In the meantime, i saw this monstrosity. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JVGLJ6R/?tag=pcpapi-20

yeah there's 12 monitors that nvidia verified, and the drivers for full expansion are coming out tomorrow. These are the 12 monitors.

I did some digging and apparently 1ms is best for competitive players, but anything lower than 5ms is good for gaming of any kind, so 4ms or below is good.

  • Acer XZ321QU, 1ms, 1440p, freesync, 144hz, 31.5 inches. I would say that is decent.

This is a good pick. It's supported tomorrow (today for you) with the nvidia freesync, has 144, and is long.

Again, I would recommend this monitor - Acer KG271UA. Only thing is that it doesn't support G-SYNC and it isn't ultrawide.

The thing is, because I have an nVidia card, and they have generally been known to not support FreeSync, and since I'm still not entirely clear on what nVidia is doing for supporting Freesync with their 10-series cards, with exception to the 12 monitors they've already approved, I am cautious to grab a freesync monitor that isn't on their approved list

What list?

These are all the nvidia approved freesync displays. The one you picked is really close to the one on the list.

It literally is the same, just with a U on the end. The non-U is 1080p, the U is literally everything I need in my life.

Good response time, 144hz refresh rate, 1440p, HDR which my card supports. It is perfect, except that nVidia doesn't like it enough to make it g-sync compatible

That might actually have a big impact on it. They tested a shitload of freesync monitors.

This is a good bet

The whole reason behind my quest for a new monitor is the 60hz on my 4k display is killing me with the screen tearing and stuttering

I actually had that 27 inch freesync one in my tabs already, I opened all of the ones from the freesync supported list and closed all of them that were 1080p or had a critical flaw I could see at first glance

If you're getting over the refresh rate, you won't really see the tearing or stuttering in my experience.
