Well, think before you buy... are you gaming across 2 monitors? If so, i take it they are mmos or rts or something, yes? I ask as gaming across two monitors for fps is silly due to bezel in the middle of your FOV. So if yoy are not gaming across them, no need for a high hz monitor.
NOW, I am DONE!!! I love my setup, I love gaming on thie new monitor, its awesome. And the new graphics card is great. No problems whatsoever. I'm getting about 140-150 FPS when I play Overwatch. But the best thing about the GPU and monitor is when playing RPG like Final Fantasy or something. Not my kind of game but the graphics are AMAZING. I just updated my Bios for the 7th generation Intel processor, the Bios layout is the new look of the Gigabyte Z270 Bios and some nice new features like smart fan 5, speed shift, I don't know if I will upgrade my processor for only 200-300 Mhz improvement. I like new things however it's hard to justify if I need to go with new water cooling for only 200-300Mhz, I would need a larger case also. I would be sold if overclocked kaby lake ran cooler than sky lake at the same clock.Sounds like you are having a good time with the new Rig and recouping a lot of the cost.
If you don't play games then there is no need for Gsync monitor or a Graphics card, the CPU IGPU will handle Video just fine.
Im waiting for Destiny 2. FPS and driving games is what got me into building these type of PCs.I game everyday bro
The refresh rate on a Gsync monitor is set by the FPS originating from the GPU, the lowest the monitor MHz will go down to is 30 FPS/Hz. You can see it working in the Video I posted above.
I did not think you had a Gsync monitor already since it looked like you were kind of asking how it works?
Here is a old article on how it works.
With a G-Sync enabled display, when the monitor is done drawing the current frame it waits until the GPU has another one ready for display before starting the next draw process. The delay is controlled purely by playing with the VBLANK interval.
You can only do so much with VBLANK manipulation though. In present implementations the longest NVIDIA can hold a single frame is 33.3ms (30Hz). If the next frame isn’t ready by then, the G-Sync module will tell the display to redraw the last frame. The upper bound is limited by the panel/TCON at this point, with the only G-Sync monitor available today going as high as 6.94ms (144Hz). NVIDIA made it a point to mention that the 144Hz limitation isn’t a G-Sync limit, but a panel limit. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7582/nvidia-gsync-review
Love it. I don't understand the complete details of how it works but i do know that GSYNC syncs with your Nvidia graphics card so even though the monitor has its specs and limits, the GSYNC will push it past its limits if your GPU is one that has higher specs than what the monitor has, which im sure my asus strix 1080 ti has. I'm loving the graphics on my monitor. I decided not to go back a step and go 1080p even if it is 240hz. From what i hear, resoltiion is more important than the hz especially if the monitor is at least 144hz which is what my dell 27"1440p monitor is.

with NVFLASH and i just cant get it to work. So just to be clear, its not broken or anything, it runs on any mode i put it on, on GPUTWEAK, plus I can OC a little bit, like 35mhz over the OC MODE and like 100mhz on memery, but i just want to get it back to the stock VBIOS that it came with. Hey Wingman, I'm not sure if you remember me or not, but you helped me out a lot when I did my Asus Hero IX/7700K build earlier this year, plus overclocking the CPU. Well, here's the link if you forgot, but ive been having a problem for a while now. I wouldnt really say its a problem as i can still play games and my Asus Strix GTX 1080TI non-OC version is actually running on the OC version, so i was wondering if you can help me out. I tried almost everything to try and flash the VBIOS back to the stock one but it stays on the OC version one. It doesnt cause any problems, but for overclocking, it does because the OC VBIOS is pretty much maxed out already and I bought the non-OC version so that I would be able to do it myself. I just dont know how to use that program, NVFLASH. I really dont want to send it to Asus for them because they will probably charge me and i will be without a GPU for a while, plus, flashing my motherboards BIOS was very simple and flashing back was simple as well, so I can't see the VBIOS to be that difficult. If you have time, would you please, help me out and point me in the right direction. I watched the video on that site, I downloaded the correct VBIOS and put it in my hard drive(C
Thanks for your time, i hope you are doing well.
