Does Freesync worth it?

[HippY]

Hey guys

 

So I am in a financial situation that I can upgrade my aging GTX 770 with something stronger, but nothing too new and shiny, I am not willing to pay these inflated prices

 

So I was looking at auctions and I am happy to see that the market has started recovering!

 

Main requirements are: play Forza 7 well (1080p medium to high settings) and be a reasonable upgrade until the market completely settles, and support freesync, as I play CS GO a lot and I have  a freesync 144hz monitor

 

Range goes R9 290X<gtx 970<390x<Gtx 980

(Rx 480/580 if they pop up is the goal tho)

 

Would a 290x be sufficient, as they are very cheap?

Does freesync makes a difference in cs go?

Your fps in csgo should be far above 144 so freesync will be useless.

The idea of Freesync, G-Sync and such is to prevent screen tearing without having the drawbacks of Vsync (input lag). 

 

You will only get screen tearing at above 144 FPS. Anything below is fine and won't cause tearing on your display. 

Freesync has a range of 30-144 FPS. 

So Freesync is useless above 144 FPS.

Yes Freesync is worth it.
