I have never seen the need for those stuff.

So damn hard just to get the framerate to tear to begin with.

its one of those subjective topics i guess

only once i experienced tearing on my monitor, and thats cause playing Dead Space 3 at 100FPS

other games wise, no tearing at all, even with vsync off

odd

thanks man that's what I want to hear . Kinda take a gamble not to wait for XB270hu or the GSYNC version of this MG279Q
Dunno whats the fuss about this sync thing

that means no review from you about these stuff ? I tot this suppose to be the best next thing about monitor and graphic card

As long as 60 60 60 is all I care

I tested FreeSync monitor, and I couldn't product screen tearing.

Well the GSYNC works in certain scenarios it intended to be. For example if you're on 4K and FPS starts jumping all over in AAA game titles like Witcher 3, Dragon Age Inquisition, the GSYNC helps. Of course in a 2560 x 1440 resolution, it can easily be driven by high end graphics card these days.

Err... I think there's a little bit of confusion here.

Gsync (or even Freesync) isn't just for preventing tearing. It's also to normalize input lag and reduce frame hitching.
Note I say "normalize", not reduce.

You're right but the input lag part isn't a big deal if you have a 144Hz screen and able to drive a decent FPS out of it. I have the 4K Acer and ROG Swift in my room now and the 144Hz is certainly a whole new experience altogether

I concur. I'm on a 120hz screen, so I know how much better it is than a 60hz experience.

I just hate it when frametimes jump up and down, then the input lag follows. It's annoying.

A 980 Ti would help to fix that FPS jump problem If needed, 2 pieces would be just nice. I get solid 144Hz on my SLI on stock clock/boost.

Haha same here.

I dont buy the whatever sync crap.

Now i already itching 4k.

Just hoping the pascal flagship can 60fps in 4k in single card.

Once again, it's not just about the "sync crap" lol. 60hz is so last gen once you go into 120/144.


And no, Gsync and Freesync is not "crap" either. You've never tried it, you'll never know what you've been missing. It's obviously still overpriced, which is one of the main reasons people are calling them crap. For what it does, I mean really no offense, but you have no idea.

planning to get gtx970 sli play some AAA games. (unity, witcher3, black ops3)

but this card has 3.5gb and less future proof compare to amd cards. (getting higher resolution monitor and hope able to max out AA).
should I wait for nvidia next generation card that replace gtx970?

3.5GB would work fine for 1440p and it also depends on the game. BF4 uses lots of VRAM while Witcher 3 uses a lot lesser and produces great graphics. It's all about developers optimizing and doing a great job on their codes.
Instead of 970 SLI, a single 980 Ti would do the job and it's always better to have a single card setup than SLI. You only go SLI if;

1. A single card solution is unable to give you enough juice
2. Cost is a concern; 2 x 970 SLI is cheaper than a 980 Ti
3. You just want the looks of SLI

SLI might (not always necessary) introduces various issues like scaling, stuttering, etc. Unless you plan to buy now and stick with your 970 for 2-3 years, there's no point worrying about "future proof" because eventually you end up upgrading and future cards would come with more VRAM. In technology, the wait never ends because if you keep on waiting, you will never buy anything The only reason why 970 becomes cheap is because there's something new and the cycle continues.

If you hadn't have a 970 or the mobo don't have good SLI support, I will always suggest single 980TI.

The best 970 SLI can scale is just slightly better than 980TI, while having 2.5GB less effective VRAM.

Price wise, they are pretty close together too.

Gsync .. Vrr is not crap dude. U got to try it to understand it

Doubt pascal flagship can do that. Generall ure gonna need 2x performance of a Tx. Since each gen is about 40-50% gain.

So we are two gen away. Volta will be it.

Skylake interesting part is nvme. Only reason to upgrade.
Ddr4 hasnt matured to 8gb density sticks at 4800 c18-c21. No news on dp 1.3.
usb c currently in its infancy.

Z170 is bound to have more dmi issues with the pch. Z87/z97 has tons of issues already.

2x 970 is best lane up in current time.
Not considering 980/980Ti because is it not price wise. RM3.2k~3.7k for one card is too much.
btw im getting USED card, it is hard to find 980ti in used market.

So it is not a good timing to get 2k/4k now?
one 970 and stick with 1080, wait for better tech to support?

In Msia, no it's not a good time. What you are paying now is severely overpriced for non-legit reasons.
2x970 is literally the same price as an aftermarket 980Ti in the states, over in Msia..? Lol 2x aftermarket 970s is barely a single reference 980Ti.

Live in the US? It's a heck of a time to jump onto 980Ti + 1440p + Gsync setup.

Sure, it's your choice and I'm just sharing my experiences if cost is a concern then buying 2 units of lower models would be more suitable. Only if possible, always go with a single card solution.

If you want better gaming experience then go 1440p at least. 1080p is really a thing of the past. Today's card can easily support 1440p setups.

only premium ones are rm 3.2k to 3.7k, i got my zotac 980ti amp for just rm 2.8k from lowyat.

going to get a 1440p monitor next year. Gsync or not,, still thinking about it. all about the price. T.T
