Quick question about G-sync

[Sporfman]

If I use a 4k G-sync panel will G-sync still be available at 1440p. So my question is will G-sync work with resolutions other than what is native to the monitor?

The Gsync module will work, no matter the reso.

yup.  Just tried my 1440p gsync at 1080 and it worked the same

Hang on, what display are you buying? I'm assuming you already own a PC with an nvidia GPU?

 

Because on the PC part picker G-sync 4k displays are $800

While Free-sync 4k displays with the same specs are around $400 for IPS

I have a gtx 1070 at the moment. I want a 4k display for the extra pixels for productivity, but I want to game at 1440p because I know I won't be hitting 60 fps at 4k with a 1070. I already have an lg ultrawide with freesync. maybe I should wait to get a monitor and see what amd has with vega.

27' 4k is not for productivity because you need to use windows scaling, you'll want 32" or at a 40" 4k display, also 1080p scales perfectly with 4k you'll want to use that over 1440p most likely, but many games should work fine at medium-high settings

 

Is the G-sync display you're going to buy cost $800? or near it? because it's not worth getting g-sync if it costs a lot more than the free-sync display.

 

Is the ultra wide 1440p? I'm imagining it's only 1080p

not a bad idea.  I just got a dell s2716dg around black friday and I probably should've waited to see what amd is going to do.  My 980's are showing their age so I'm thinking of replacing them and I just limited myself to Nvidia unless I want to lose more money on this expensive monitor

There is more to a screen and experience then only Gsync or freesync with cost in mind. Also since he already has a good 1070 I see no reason to swap parts later on for going either Gsync or freesync. The cheaper freesync gets costly then because a newer GPU will then also be added in the cost.
