Question about GSync Compatible

[rxcklessss]

Hello,

I've been looking for a 240hz monitor lately and I saw that FreeSync now compatible is with GSync, so my question is:
-Is a FreeSync GSync Compatible monitor the same as a GSync one or are there any downs?
-Is this a good FreeSync Compatible monitor: https://www.bol.com/nl/p/alienware-aw2518hf-freesync-gaming-monitor/9200000081268977/?Referrer=ADVNLGOO002021-G-62788811243-S-585956912395-9200000081268977&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvJXxBRCeARIsAMSkAprJu9SqFYsbcRKqiAxoHUw_Cn26vxDSIf9clUKfEwJfBcpK7nR2VdoaAvzzEALw_wcB

Freesync and G-Sync are essentially the same thing - they reduce input lag and prevent screen tearing therefore offering smoother game play overall.

 

G-Sync utilises a chip built into the monitor, whereas FreeSync essentially is just some nifty programming.

 

Therefore, due to the chip, G-Sync performs better than FreeSync, but usually costs more.

So GSync will still be better? Will it be worth to pay 100/200 extra though?

You don't get the same frequency range with FreeSync as you do with GSync. So GSync is better.

Only you can really answer that. It's your money.

GSync will perform better, whether you need it or not is sort of up to you.

Is this a good choice?

Yep, seems like a good way to go.
