Wow, that's a pretty good price. 4K and G-sync for 800? ROG swift if 1000 and only 1440p

Swift is $800 and 144Hz

Doesn't having G-sync make 144Hz obsolete??

Doesn't having G-sync make 144Hz obsolete??

Gsync prevents the display and graphics card from rendering scenes out of sync by syncing the refresh rate of the monitor to the graphics card's render cycle.

This prevents tearing and it also prevents a lack of responsiveness that comes from Vsync, which syncs the render cycle to the refresh rate of the monitor rather than the refresh rate of the monitor to the render cycle..

However it can only sync the refresh rate of the monitor to the graphics card's render cycle up to the refresh rate ceiling of said monitor, so if you're able to render more than 60fps, and the monitor can refresh faster it'll allow you view the frames at a faster rate without tearing and have it be even more responsive than usual.

So no.
