NVIDIA GTX 1070 + FreeSync Monitor Question

Hello.So my ASUS GTX 1070 arrived a few days ago and now I have to buy a new monitor since this one only supports VGA.My current monitor is 1280x1024 75Hz ~19inches.

So basically, what i'm looking for is a 1920x1080 monitor, that supports 75hz refresh rate.I have found this one (http://aoc-europe.com/en/products/g2260vwq6) which would be very good in my opinion, but it's a freesync monitor and i've heard that it won't support 75hz unless you have an amd card and that it will frameskip at more than 60hz.Will I be able to play at 75hz all the time in it's native resolution(1920x1080), or will I run into any problems?.Any help/tips are appreciated.Thanks !

I have this exact monitor actually and it runs fine in 75Hz mode without freesync. Although I can't honestly recommend it.

Hi.Thanks for the fast response.

So you're running it smoothly with an nvidia card?No frameskips or choppyness?

I've heard decent reviews about it, can you elaborate or maybe give me other choices you consider to be better?

I'm not really a monitor expert so asking me for recommendations is meaningless. I'm not recommending this one because mine's manufacturing is crappy as hell. I could have been just unlucky though.

My card is from amd but it's not freesync enabled so it's effectively the same, and it runs 75 Hz fine.

I'd love to, but it's over my budget, so i'd like to stick with 16:9.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

Nice to hear that 75hz will work fine with my gpu.I'll probably wait till tommorow, and make up my mind. It's still basically the only 1ms 75hz monitor with displayport in my country within my budget and it's on sale till the 31th.

Thanks for the help! I'm still open to suggestions/opinions.
