Hi,

 

so I finally want to upgrade my gpu after about 8 years :D:D and I have quite a dilemma. I have a 75Hz freesync monitor LG 29UM68-P. My question is what gpu should I buy? Here where I live the XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy costs 300$ + AMD gives you Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 for free, I would not buy the games separately, but I would play them when they are for free. The GAINWARD GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Pegasus costs 325$ with no games or other stuff. Also XFX GTS Radeon RX 580 8GB TripleX Edition goes for 243$, but I wanted to have a bit faster gpu than that and I'm not into overlooking. 

 

The thing is that I have the freesync monitor and I want to know would the gaming experience be better If I get the RX 590 and use freesync or GTX 1660 Ti with no freesync but with higher framerates? Would I experience screen tearing everywhere? I know that my cpu will bottleneck the gpu a bit, but I am not planning to upgrade my cpu for now.

 

My current setup is:  

Intel i5-2400  

GTX 560  

16gb RAM

The frame-rate will be slightly bottle necked by your i5-2400

I would get the 1660 ti, as GTX/RTX Cards can now use Free-sync 

i7 6700k, GTX 1080, Crucial MX 300, Maximus VII Hero, WD Blue, 16 GB RAM

Just about to say dragging the GTX 1660's memory clock high can make it less than 5% slower than the GTX 1660 Ti.

I front have the time right now, but you should check and see if your monitor is G-sync compatible before buying an Nvidia card.
