Is g-sync worth it?

It's very hard to say unless you experience it, and I think it also depends on what kind of games you play.

Personally i wouldn't buy a monitor without Gsync anymore, so imo if you can afford it then yes it's absolutely worth every penny.

Once you've owned one there is no going back to screen tearing/stuttering/imput lag after that.

That's a subjective question. I own 2 G-SYNC monitors, so obviously it's worth it to me. I'm picky though.

It depends lol.

Yes and no.

 

Yes it is a premium luxury item that will increase your experience some.

 

No you can game perfectly fine and in good quality without it.

 

Moral of the story? it depends on your need, wish and budget.

It depends on a few different things.

 

If you have a really powerful card (like GTX 1070+) and you're not playing extremely intensive games (games that you can easily hit 144FPS+ in such as R6S, CS:GO, etc.), it's not worthwhile since you won't see a benefit.

 

If you have a mid tier or upper end card (GTX 1060 6GB+) and you're playing graphically intensive titles (such as GR:Wildlands, Witcher 3, etc.), it's not a poor choice.

 

I personally didn't see the point as I can tolerate the FPS drops and I have a GTX 1080 on a 1080p144Hz panel. That being said, G-Sync would make my experience nicer in games like GTA V. Not an extra $150+ nicer though.

I think the question is it worth the money over a non G-SYNC monitor. To me screen tearing and stuttering makes a game unplayable, to someone else they'd rather save the money.

The thing is... I know people say this a lot and I know there's good reason but.... it has been a year already I'm with my LG 29UM69-G and I am yet to suffer stuttering and tearing with it... I just Triple Buffered V-Sync at 100hz and all always works fine... I tried a side by side comparison wiht my brother's X34 I really barely could feel any difference....

 

Then again I do use an overkill 1080 Ti for 2560x1080p100hz so my fps hardly if ever fluctuates.

 

And the only game I don't want to sync, which is CS:GO I never used any thing to keep 300+ fps as its beneficial, there is some tearing yes, noticeable even... but nothing too bad that makes it unplayable...

There's a "feel" aspect to G-SYNC though as well. I feel the difference in latency immediately. Why I have to acclimate to not being on a G-SYNC, if I'm not.
