Vega vs 1080 for freesync anos VR

[Makreth]

Só here i am again: last time i ask you guys for a GPU you told me to wait for vega to see.. Vega is here. And i am more confuse than ever.

Here's what i want:

Simulation racing games( asseto corsa/project cars2 etc.)

 

My monitor is a LG 34" 21/9 144hz 1ms FREESYNC

I gonna buy a rift CV1 to next week.

And: i would like to buy two more monitors to put on the side of my big one but it has to be 27" 75hz but dont know yet how i can do that because i dont know if the games support mismatch resolutions.

 

My question:

Should i buy a 1080 or vega 64(air)??

 

My doubts:

1- vega support for VR is good?

2- should i use FREESYNC? Even if i play

At hig fps does FREESYNC makes a difference? I do not use it at the time never used( i run games at +100fps ultra settings and its superb.

 

I would like to you guys not start a war for AMD againts Nvidea.i just want help for best performance. What sould i do?

Vega is expensive, so get 1080.

If you have a freesync monitor, get an AMD its pretty simple.  Not that a 1080 won't drive it but the experience will be better with a Vega 64 because you have a technology present in the display to reduce screen tearing.

Buying an Nvidia card when you have a 34" ultrawide freesync monitor is pretty dumb..

buy the Vega, make use of your freesync

At least here a new 1080 cost 800 euros

Vega its cheapper.but that's not the point.i have a144hz monitor. Never saw screen tearing.and VR? Can soneobe explain why and when freesync is good? If a play at 100fps and my monitor has144 fps sloud i saw diference with freesync?

From what i understand maybe useful for 60hz monitors. But i have a 144hz 1ms monitor. And i intend to play with VR too. AMD is good for VR?

If you have never used or seen G-Sync or FreeSync in the flesh you will not be aware of the benefits.

 

I can assure you with confidence that having FreeSync will be a better option, also the FreeSync HZ range is entirely dependent on the display so yours might be 45hz-144hz as it is a newer generation panel.

Either way, do what you want its your money at the end of the day but buying Nvidia with a FreeSync display is losing access to something that makes gaming smooth as silk.  You would be a fool not to take advantage of it.

I am on the opposite side, I have a G-Sync Predator X34 display which is 34" @ 100Hz IPS and I will stay Nvidia until I change display in the future as the G-Sync feature is something I cannot game without anymore.

Even with my 165 Hz G-Sync monitor, in several games i can CLEARLY see a much smoother image when moving camera, when i turn G-Sync on vs. off.

 

Stutters / Tearing indeed is MUCH smaller, than on 60 Hz. But you can still see it.

 

 

144 Hz screen @ 100 fps in Game, will do the following:

Tearing. You will see tearing here and there, depending on your eyes, and the Game engine. some games show you hardcore tearing, others don't show it at all.

 

If you HATE tearing as much as i do, you would turn V-Sync on to get rid of it. But that will give you:

Stuttering. The Card will try to fill 100 pictures into 144 Refresh cycles per second. Do the math, it doesn't work. 100 Pictures can fit, but there are 44 missing screens. Where do they come from? 44 of those 100 frames per second will be doublet, causing this little "stutter".

Also, you might get Input-Lag. 

 

Freesync get's rid of that completely.

Input Lag almost not noticeable (mostly same as no- Sync, or slightly higher. Measureable, not noticeable.

Tearing is GONE

Stuttering is GONE

You just have a smooth image with perfect smooth frametimes.

 

You can see tearing/stuttering here: http://testufo.com/#test=stutter

 

"Simulation of G-Sync" will be what Freesync will look like, when you have unstable fps. Which you ALWAYS have without a fps limiter.

 

 

 

TL;DR: You have a Freesync Monitor, you buy AMD. ^^

I think i prefer freesync but amd drivers hum..i am not sure. Everyone tell me that maybe i encounter some erros or something.. Maybe a little time to test vega well
