No, it isn't. That was true at launch due to the shoddy implementation of it in early monitors (since its implementation is down to the monitor manufacturers themselves), but it isn't true in mid-2017. There's zero difference between the two with better, more recent FreeSync displays that support wider ranges and LFC. In fact, FreeSync displays generally have a large advantage in terms of connectivity, whereas G-Sync displays are very limited on that front, due to the nature of Nvidia's module.

You've already stated that you spent a lot of money on a G-Sync monitor, so I know you're not going to accept this, but fortunately it's easy enough for anybody else to Google some more recent comparisons of the two, rather than taking the word of someone with a heavy investment in one of them at face value.

Just installed my evga 1080ti ftw3 that was on prime day last week for £666. Absolute beast of a card and destroys my 1070.

the best card in the Vega architecture will be between 1070 and 1080 in performance. so if your looking for the best card on the market it will still be this

Waiting for Vega before I make any decision

managed to nab a gigabyte 1080 on primeday for £390

If its ebuyer itl be broken anyway.

@UberPark & @K1LLER_HORNET It's rumoured that VEGA benchmarks show it competing with a 1080 , I know ti will still be king.

I keep going back and forth between getting a 1080/Vega or going for a 1080ti

Been using a 23inch hp 1080p TN monitor for the past few years with a GTX 780 and I'm gonna treat myself this year to a new monitor and card , wanting to upgrade to a 27" 1440p monitor , waiting for Vega incase I go down the freesync route rather than G-SYNC , also don't know whether the price difference between a 1080 and the ti is worth it .

If Vega can compete with 1080 and its cheaper than I'll go that route since freesync is also much cheaper :smile:

FreeSync is also worse than G-Sync

@ritchiedrama I know but surely it's not that bad compared? The price difference between freesync and Gsync is rather a lot

I'd go Nvidia because if you go AMD then if you ever want to upgrade you will probably find that there isn't anything available and if there is then miners will have bought all the cards
