Nvidia with a free sync monitor.

Hi everybody,

I'm in a bit of a pickle. Basically, I bought a 1080ti this time last year, and by this time I was expecting to have a g-sync monitor fast forward a year I haven't managed to get my hands on one namely because due to an illness I'm battling I just can't work.

My wife asked what I wanted, and all I want is a 1440p 140hrz monitor, unfortunately even with the new monitors, the older ones are way out of the budget.

I've looked at the
ViewSonic XG2703-GS 27-inch
Acer Predator XB271 oc 165hrz
AOC AG271QG 27-inch IPS Monitor
ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278QR, 27'

The only one that may be a possibility is AOC AG241QG AGON

But it also left me looking at free sync possibilities, The one that seems to stand out is the Acer XF270HUA

I do have a calibrated Asus monitor that runs 60hz and I'll be selling it to add, towards the monitor as I don't want to completely burden my wife with insane expenses.

I'm just wondering have any of you ever used a free sync monitor I found a video with Joker, it was somewhat helpful but he only played one game and some games do give the option to limit your fps in game.

Any thoughts or opinions?

Thanks

I read an article somewhere recently about using the onboard graphics output along with an nVidia card to avail of a Freesync monitor. I assume it must have been an AMD APU chip with the processing done on the card and sent back to the APU output.

I'm not sure if it work very well. I will try to find the link. Somewhere on Reddit I think ...

Here we go. I haven't even read these so I can't vouch for anything that is contained within them!! It just popped up in my feed last week and when I clicked on this thread I actually thought it would be about the same thing!

Just get the 144Hz and worry about FreeSync/G-Sync some other time.

I've a 120Hz monitor and screen tear is only evident if I leave V-Sync on & get massive frame dips - never noticed screen tear in any other scenario.
For competitive games you want to leave the frame rate uncapped anyway, so *Sync is useless there.

Or buy 2nd-hand.

Have that monitor and it’s absolutely brilliant.
