Get the XG27VQ because now you have freesync compatible with nVidia cards so no need for pay-sync I mean G-sync.

oh rlly i did not know dat. So now u can use free sync with nvidia card? SO paying for g sync is no longer worth it? cus i got 2 rigs. i witha rtx 2080 n another with a 1070 ti. Both with nvidia cards.

No my friend.  g-sync pay-sync call it what you want is no longer needed.   With 10xx and 20xx cards nvidia has freesync and freesync 2 support for monitors that have it.

G-Sync is Nvidia's proprietary take on adaptive refresh rates.  Requires a special module in the monitor to function, which leads to extra cost.

 

With a recent driver release Nvidia has now added support to their driver packages (for 10xx and 20xx series cards only) for Freesync.  Freesync is the open-source version of adaptive sync technology which does not require any additional hardware in the monitor.  This means you can use less expensive versions of a monitor to get the adaptive sync benefits.

 

You can still buy G-sync monitors and they will work perfectly.  You just have more options now.
