G sync or free sync

[Tech Learner]

I'm getting ready for my first build and I'm having trouble choosing an excellent monitor to buy. My build will have Ryzen 7 1700 with a evga GeForce GTX 1080 ti SC black. I like ultra wide monitors with a high refresh rate and quick response time when I turn it on.

G sync unless you have an RX VEGA OR RX 580 it will be a horrible and painful way NVIDIA does not support freesync

It's a choice really between G-Sync or non-G-Sync, since FreeSync monitors can be considered as normal monitors when used with an NVIDIA GPU. So, just depends on if the cost for G-Sync is worth it or not.

You can't use FreeSync on a GTX 1080, you need to get G-Sync for Nvidia. If going FreeSync, you need to buy a Vega card.

 

As for the G-Sync / FreeSync themselves, they're very similar and almost indistinguishable by a naked eye, FreeSync is cheaper though.

You can't use freesync with your gpu. You can use a freesync monitor but the freesync wouldnt be used.

if you intend on getting 1080ti then your best b et is G-sync. Unless you DONT need that functionality, you could probably save a few bucks for a freesync but why go through that hassle after investing a nice amount of $$$ in ur graphics is my question...

I'm gonna go with g sync. Just wait for the prices on the monitors to go down.

[Tech Learner]

@SeanAngelo I will send it to you tomorrow.

G-sync is empirically and objectively better, but does make the display more expensive.  If you can afford G-sync, then get it, but if you can't, then don't.

@thedons1983 Thanks for the advice.
