Buying a G-sync monitor for a 5700xt

vrnuck · March 18, 2020

So this is the deal,

I have a 5700xt and want to buy a 2k high refresh rate monitor to get most of the juice from it (currently couch-gaming with a 4k 60Hz HDR TV).

I found a pretty nice deal for an Acer Predator monitor, used but in great conditions, but its G-sync.

Question: should I go for that monitor or buy one with freesync? Even if the specs of the freesync option are worst (in terms of build and image quality).

If so, any recommendations? My idea is not to pay more than $300

My understanding is that you can get the gsync one but you just won't be able to use gsync. If the specs and price are good though and you don't care about gsync then go for it I guess.
