So I've got my rig dialed in and somewhat future-proofed, which includes the 1070. However, I have 2 very outdated monitors.
The 1070 can support DP and I'm looking for a monitor that can handle the horsepower. I've looked at the ASUS ROGs, AOCs, BenQs, Samsungs and some Dells. This is an upgrade and I already have a 23" monitor, so I know I'm looking to get at least a 27" with a 144Mhz refresh rate and a 2560x1440 res.
With with size, resolution and refresh out of the way, I'm now scratching my head over G-Sync.
The general consensus is that if you have a monitor that supports 144Mhz and it doesn't have the G-Sync feature, run-of-the-mill Vsync will still produce tearing and stutter. So my questions are:
1. If that's true - how noticeable will it actually be?
2. As the price jumps exponentially when you combine the other 3 specs and G-Sync - is paying $600 (or more) actually worth it?
Appreciate any insight/expertise you might have. TIA.
