Nvidia on Freesync

[SupersonicSaint]

I have the HP Omen 32" Freesync 75hz monitor. I know Freesync only works with AMD but the GTX 1060 6gb is slightly faster and currently slightly cheaper than the RX 580 8gb for gaming. How bad is screen tearing and should I just get the RX 580 to avoid it or should I get the slight extra power of the 1060 and bare with the screen tearing.  V-Sync I want to avoid due to reduced performance.

 

I am coming from PlayStation which has always been my main gaming system from PS1. Games I am building my PC for primarily is Cyberpunk 2077, Death Stranding and Forza Horizon 4 but I will do CAD on it too.

Thank you.

My monitor is also AMD FreeSync and I use a GTX 1060 for games like CSGO and Overwatch. The screen tearing is bearable since I limit my FPS, avoid V-Sync at all costs, the input lag is terrible.

Overclock the monitor to 80hz using nvidia control panel, don't enable freesync in the monitor and don't use native 75hz just overclock it since many monitors only supports 75hz with freesync and forcing this native on only results in frame skipping.

 

Slow paced games use V-Sync, if you have the option go with triple buffered.

Fast paced games use FastSync try to keep more frames than your current hz be it the 80hz overclocked or 60hz etc...

 

With these two you are pretty much making null any benefits of adaptive sync, just adjust your in game settings well enough to avoid frequent dips which is why people talk so good of gsync and freesync...

 

But when you realize you can get a lot of fps without losing graphical quality these technologies are redundant and overpriced on the gsync side.

So yes you're fine buying the GTX 1060 if you want to.
