is freesync noticeable in 1080p ~25" screens

[allenfaust]

Hi!

 

Planning to buy a monitor for my upcoming pc build which uses an RX 480

 

I am considering monitors in the $150-200 price range of 1080p (most likely 23-25"). I am wondering if the freesync feature is a noticeable feature in this kind of setup 'cuz some monitors with a smaller screen (w/freesync) goes for the same price similar to one with a larder one (no freesync).

 

main dilemma: smaller screen with freesync vs larger screen without freesync for 1080p gaming

 

 

Thanks!

I actually saw that but was actually thinking of getting either of these 3, 

 

http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-23MP68VQ-P ---- freesync, ips, 75 hz, 23"

 

http://www.samsung.com/nz/monitors/curved-cf390/  --- freesync, va, 24" , curved, cant find refresh rate

http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-25UM58-P-ultrawide-monitor --- ultrawide, 25", IPS, cant find refresh rate

I would like to ask, will hdmi 2.0 be able to handle more than 60 fps ??

 

i saw some article saying that hdmi 2.0 has a limit of 60 fps (so if u have 75 Hz monitor, it can only give 60 fps). OR was that for a different higher resolution ?

you'll be fine you would have to worry with it if you were going 120/144hz

All of those are good picks, the samsung curved one seems neat... however after I used ultra-wide 21:9 I simply refuse going back to the normal 16:9... it greatly improved my desktop experience.

Even for gaming ?

Especially for gaming, 75hz already is a boost from 60hz and the higher resolution allied to the IPS superiority in colours and over all image quality makes any game experience more enjoyable... then again I play more single player campaigns than competitive high paced E-sports where high refresh rates of 144hz makes a difference...

What about the freesync (i see your suggestion has an adaptive sync)? have you encountered there broken frames? Also won't the gpu be more stressed with a larger screen ?

The size of the screen itself does not matter, it is the resolution that matters, with the RX 480 you can use Free Sync on it just fine, the 2560x1080p is more demanding than 1920x1080p however not by too much, a single RX 480 would still be quite capable, provided that it is the 8gb model since the higher the resolution the more vram you will use.

 

In my case though I use a nVidia so I can't use the Free Sync however V-Sync at the 75hz has always made my games smooth enough with no stuttering.

The limitations of various display connection technologies are about how much data they can transfer per second. The higher the resolution, the lower the refresh rate it can support within that bandwidth limit. I think the confusion comes from the fact that HDMI 2.0 can only do 60 Hz at 3840x2160 (4K), but I think it can do 144 Hz at 1080p or 1440p.

 

FYI, I think DisplayPort may be required for Freesync or Gsync.

Thank you very much Princess, 'll keep your advice for now.

Oh so thats only for 4K, Thanks mate!
