Amd gpu with a G-Sync screen

[Bwithnewcast]

Okay, lets get down to it!

 

I have a Msi R7 370 4Gb and i am getting a new screen with G-sync

Here is the link:

Is there any way to use the frame sync technology? without getting a new gpu

Why the hell are you paying more money for a G-sync monitor when you have an AMD card? Just get the Freesync version for less

First off all it was on sale.

It will cost more than a freesync monitor and you can't even use the Gsync, ever

Okay, new gpu on me

If you have already bought the screen, just sell your gpu on ebay and buy an nvidia one. Consider buying a last gen card used, since you can get some pretty good deals on them, if you know what you're doing.

 

Using this screen without an nvidia card is simply a waste of money, since you already paid for an awesome feature. It would be a shame not to take advantage of it.

500 USD Budget + 180hz Gsync Display = GTX 1070.

 

Just to be sure: Can you tell us what CPU and PSU you are using? Maybe you can give so information on the games you're running, too. Depending on your answers, a used 970 or 1060 might be enough, so you could save some money.

 

edit: Please don't go SLI. It's not worth the trouble...

Lol isn't that demanding, but GTA is. So considering the rest of your system, a 1070 would be perfect. If you just care about performance, a cheap and basic variant should be fine. The more expensive options aren't that much faster, but they run at lower temps and with less noise.

Looks like a good option for an mATX/ATX case. I'm assuming you don't plan to build some super small form factor system?
