I'm currently looking to buy a new GPU + monitor and I'm wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction of

which one to pick? These will be paired with 16gb DDR4-3000 and i7-8600k

 

AMD option

Monitor

GPU

 

Nvidia option

Monitor

My main question is if its worth it to go with gsync? Keep in mind I'm coming from an R9 270x and a 10-year-old 1080p 60hz monitor. 

 

Thank you for any information you can offer!

There isn't much difference between the two. I would go with AMD because its cheaper and as far as I know, V64 is more powerful than RTX2070.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

Don’t think it is more powerful, I sent back my 64 due to coil whine and got a 2070 instead and it is about the same or better in games, expect Forza Horizon 4, that ran at about 10 more FPS on the 64. 

Specs: 

 

  • i5-8600K 
  • Evga Black RTX 2070 
  • 16GB DDR4 2400MHz 
  • ASRock Extreme 4 Z370 
  • Fractal Design Meshify C Light TG 

Location: UK 

Plays: Minesweeper at 1000 fps.

You pay more for Nvidia gpus & will also pay more for a G-Sync monitor, other than that which ever you prefer not much difference.
