A good deal?

[W3tan]

Hey guys I got a deal in a local computer shop. He's offering me a mint condition AOC P2460PG g-sync for $400(canadian dollar, or about $310 USD).

Although I own a Nvidia GPU I've never tried g-sync before. Reviews online said this monitor is pretty good.  I am wondering if anyone using it or have used it before? Do you think the premium for g-sync is worthwhile? 

 

The monitors I am using now are the Sony 24' 3D monitor and a 21' Dell monitor I bought in 2009. My rig is 6700k+1070. Games I play are BF4, wow, Diablo 3 etc.

 

thanks for your input!

looks like a nice pair with a 1070 and 6700k.

G-sync just gets rid of screen tearing when you turn Vsync off. also makes frame fluctuations much easier to swallow, which you'll probably experience.. though i would look into the window which g-sync operates, as some monitors limit gsync functionality to a certain Hz range

You don't need a 6700k for gaming. A overclocked 6600k would be good enough.

Thanks for the info. Is there a place in the Nvidia Control Panel I can check? Thanks

Yea I have the 6700k but I wonder why it is better than 6600k in VR? Is it because of the Hyper Threading?

 

Thanks!
