A question to G-Sync users

[Coombzy]

Hey guys, i'm currently looking at a monitor for my new setup and, I was of course as a Nvidia card owner looking at the G-Sync range. If you guys happen to have a G-Sync panel, I would like to know your experiences with it on a high end system. I really want to know from people personally if its like a night and day different and worth paying the premium for like 144hz was back in the day. Thanks again

I'll put it this way: I will never buy a gaming monitor without adaptive refresh rate again. I can tell when it disables almost instantly.

G-Sync is fantastic.... its possibly the best new technology since the invention of the SSD to compare how much of a "wow this is amazing" feeling you get from it. You can jump from 45-60 fps and not notice any tearing at all.

( Yes I know FreeSync is around AMD users) but its just not as good. I have tried both and G-Syncs hardware modual does so much more.

I've never in the history of any of my rigs noticed any tearing at all personally. If I never notice it will it still make a difference to me as an end user? The PG279Q is around £200 more expensive than the MG279Q which I was looking at just for 144hz 1440p. I don't want to spend the extra cash if I won't notice it.

Well you have herd two people now tell you that they notice instantly when its on. Its up to you at the end of the day but nothing is stopping you returning it if you dont think  its worth it, just dont forget to turn it on!

It's something I don't think I'd be able to play games without - you can notice the 'fluidity' of it. I've heard that whether it's worth it or not varies amongst others, but for me it's nearly a must from now on.

 

Downside is obviously the extra cash and the fact that I'm forced to basically adopt a bias towards NVIDIA cards when making GPU purchases.

Never going back. Gsync is the best thing to happen to monitors in a long time and long overdue. I wont care anywhere near as much about the coming 10 bit colour space with higher brightness and 4k@144hz. The lack of stutter and the image quality improvements that come from no tear lines is quite noticeable and its all kinds of ugghhh when you end up playing on a computer without it.
