G-SYNC Monitor with AMD Vega 64?

[Pavilion]

I want to buy a new graphics card AMD Vega 64 but my monitor Asus Rog swift PG-279q, will this affect the performance or is it better to get a Nvidia Graphic card 1080?

It'll still work just fine, just means you can't use G-sync.

Not directly, but....

you should stay within the nvidia ecosystem because on that screen and that type of performance, G-sync is really really golden.

What would G-sync do if I bought 1080?

Similar to what I tell people with Freesync monitors, you should be pairing your adaptive sync monitors with their respective supported counterparts.

 

I would recommend getting a GTX 1080 to pair off with that monitor, or get a freesync monitor.

Minimise screen tearing. If you went with an AMD card for G-sync, you'd get screen tearing.

nullify tearing withing the G-Sync range specified. After investing in a Freesync monitor and pairing it with an AMD card, I'll never go back to non adaptive sync. If you are spending that kind of money, it's worth it.

The issue is that I already have the Asus monitor I bought it a long time ago

I would get a 1080 then for sure.

 

Arguably, I would even consider a 1080ti if you really want to hit that 165hz that monitor is capable of.

I suppose you could sell the monitor and buy one with Freesync, if you really wanted the Vega 64 for some reason.

This is kind of the point. At the time you bought it, you already paid a premium to have G-sync. Why waste it to get an AMD card? (Also, why would you want the AMD card? I'm not sure why you want it with a G sync monitor  )

AMD is really good now and I already going to build my pc with ryzen so this is why I was thinking of getting the Vega 64, but what's holding me back is that my monitor doesn't support free sync.

[Humbug]

It won't affect performance, but it will affect user experience. Adaptive sync is fantastic (both g-sync and freesync).

 

So I would either buy an Nvidia card, or if you want to use AMD for other reasons such as drivers etc then sell the g-sync and buy a good freesync monitor (make sure it has LFC support).

Just build an AMD Ryzen based PC with an Nvidia GPU. Works just fine.

I agree. The OP should just get a Geforce card, otherwise it's a waste of paying the premium for a G-Sync monitor.

Also, you can get a GTX 1080 for less than the cost of a Vega 56 right now if you look, so I don't see the point of going Vega.
