LC24FG70FQWXXL Monitor

I'm planning to buy this monitor but I need to know something. I have a nvidia 1070ti card and this monitor supports freesync only. So does that mean I cant play games beyond 60fps?

no it means you simply cannot use freesync , if you're curious about what freesync is i'd suggest google

you can play at 144hz and it will be a noticeable that's its a bit smoother, also qdot looks pretty good. but I had that monitor and I swapped it for a 144hz with gsync and thats a bit smoother again but not as big of a noticeable jump

No, it just means you will not be able to use adaptive refresh rate, which in the case of the CFG70, is AMD's FreeSync.

 

You will still be able to go all the way to the full 144Hz refresh rate. Just don't expect the monitor to adapt its refresh rate dynamically to your GPU since FreeSync and G-SYNC don't talk to each other.

So there will be screen tearing you say?

Not really.

 

Screen tearing usually occurs when your FPS and monitor refresh sequence are out of sync. It's more noticeable at FPS levels higher than the monitor's refresh rate and also at very low framerates.

 

But I've been using the Samsung SHG50 with my GTX 1060 6GB for a while now and despite not having G-SYNC, 144Hz is a really nice thing
