GPU for new build

[Ero]

Hello.

 

I plan to build a new pc and after a lot of search I was about to build a system with ryzen 2700x and gtx 1080.

But I find out there is no g-sync support monitor in my country and it takes 1k us $ to order one from outside of country.

 

Now I dont know what I should pick, gtx 1080 or vega 64. I also have to say that gtx 1080 is cheaper in here. Also I dont want to go near any of latest tech because they are too overprice in here, a rtx 2070 cost 1400$ in here while gtx 1080 only cost 520$.

Vega 64 because it supports Freesync.

If your monitor doesn't have Freesync, well get the 1080 as it's cheaper.

The newest nvidia drivers support freesync, so you can get a freesync monitor instead and use that with the GTX 1080. That might be a great way to go for you.

It's only on certain highend monitors and it's not guaranteed to work with most monitors

what about Vega 56 and 1070ti?

 

Driver 417.71 for Nvidia cards now support adaptive sync function on all Freesync monitors through DisplayPort output, use those monitors instead.

From what I understand its officially supported on a large set of them, and "likely will work fine" on just about all of them. Is that not true? I thought that is what the reporting from CES was showing.

Nope, it works on all Freesync monitors with DP input. Your statement is only true on high end TVs because they often dont have DP and support adaptive sync through HDMI which is AMD specific.

Not all of them only 12 monitors that none of them are available in here.

I can get them but they almost have the same price so i want to get gtx 1080 or vega 64.

 

Also from what I saw in CES it only works fine on 12 monitors.

This argument is no longer valid since Nvidia allows Freesync to work on there cards now.

Keep in mind you have to have windows 10 for freesync and 10 series and 20 series nvidia cards. I have windows 7 and am changing to 10 right now.

Yes, Win 10, Display Port, and a 10 series or new card, so there are some * next to it, but flatout saying go for AMD for Freesync is at best misleading advice now.

I'm also really salty about it because I've had so much trouble trying to transfer to 10.

which custom model in particular?

 

Nope, 12 monitors are tested by Nvidia, but those that aren't still work as if they are connected to a Radeon card.

Thank you so it works with this monitor?

MSI G27C shares the same panel and performs similarly. I don;t like curved monitors myself and 27" 1080p 16:9 doesnt have enough pixel density, but otherwise the CFG70 s a good monitor.

Vega 64

-support competition in GPUs

-freesync

-better in vulkan

-better at higher resolutions

 

1080

-probably adaptive sync

-better in dx11 and dx12

-cheap used

 

yes?

Thank you very much, I will try to find a 2k monitor then.
