Looking for a 24" 1080p Budget Monitor

[Posledni]

Hi,

Recently i decided to buy a budget "gaming" monitor. I found two monitors, i really like AOC C24G1 24" (170$) and AOC 24G2U 24" (180$) ... looking for a VESA compatible. 

But i found out that my G1 980ti does not support free sync, does it affect my gaming expirience... or even, is it worth it to buy FreeSync monitor for a 980ti? And if it will, which one you recommend?

Anyway as my second monitor ill keep using my Dell IPS (Dell S2415h) for a stuff like movies and graphics.

Thanks.

You're not paying extra for the Freesync aspects of those monitors, so it's not an issue.

There is no point of having a freesync/g sync moniter if you’re card does not support it. You won’t benefit if you have a free sync moniter, but it’s okay if it’s the same or less money than a non free sync one.

But his/her next GPU probably will support freesync, so it's definetly "worth it".

I recommend buying a second hand monitor. I've done so numerous times in the past and its always served me well.

I just wanted to know if there is any difference in free sync and without it. because im not planing to upgrade my gpu in next 1 or 2 years but i want to play at 144hz

I were looking for a used one, and i found this one: Acer Predator XB240H without free/G sync for a 100$ do you think that is a good option?

There is no difference.

In second hand market there might be slight difference in price, but again, if you're going to use the monitor for long time I would personally buy a monitor with freesync.
