Gsync

[Cl1362]

I'm thinking about buying a 240hz Alienware monitor.

 

Is the gsync worth at that refresh rate?

 

Is it worth it?

 

The difference is about $150 between gsync and no gsync 

 

Its a 1080p monitor and I am running a 1080ti

 

Thanks for the information!

G-Sync does absolutely nothing unless you drop below the refresh rate of your monitor. But assuming you keep 140-200 fps at the lowest, you won't notice any screen tearing anyways, so I doubt it's that useful.

G-sync is insanely expensive since Nvidia uses a $300 module or something, so the non g-sync value is much higher. Have you checked out g-sync vs non g-sync comparison videos?

I have a gsync monitor but it's an ultrawide that maxes at 100hz

 

So I'm curious if it's going to do anything at 160-240hz

Np. I have a 1080p144Hz G-Sync monitor, even with G-Sync off I don't really see screen tearing unless the fps drops below 90 or so. IDK the range on that monitor, but I doubt G-Sync would even work at the fps you'd have to drop to to actually see the tearing, unless it's got a massive range like 70-240hz or something.
