Already did jump ship. Bought a Gsync monitor and a GTX 1070. I do have a Freesync 27 inch panel as well so I am not vendor locked.
But if AMD releases their flagship that blows the GTX1080 away for GTX1070 price, I'll be all over that.
Isn't gsync controlled monitor side and free sync gpu side? I wonder if there's an easier load on the gpu nvidia side because of this.
I think nVidia has proven over and over that a wide memory bus or big peak bandwidth numbers aren't necessary for great performance. It's all about how you use what you've got.
This is what's killing AMD. People expect them to release a card faster than NV's top tier, but price it at or below NV's 2nd tier. That is absurd. When AMD released the R9 380/390, they were priced the same as the GTX 960/970, were faster on average, and the 390 even had double the VRAM of the 970. It wasn't good enough.
This would be like me saying, "Not buying the GTX 1060 unless it blows the RX 480 out of the water, but doesn't cost more than $150." If one is faster at the same price, you get the faster card unless there's a logical exception (IE, your monitor has FreeSync/G-Sync, you have a Shield for Gamestream, etc.).
But aside from that, I pay premium for NV for things other than just fps. I make good use of shadowplay, which I find to be very handy. So unless AMD can make up for the lack of feature in game recording (FOR ME), I won't consider it, unless it's cheaper and/or better performing overall.
Kind of a uhh..sidegrade yeah?
Nice man, what Freesync monitor do you have? Also, how do you like the Dell G-Sync?
BenQ XL2730Z.
I absolutely love the picture quality on the Dell, no backlight bleed, bezelless, the antiglare coating can't be seen, and no dead pixels. It has a better display but the freesync display actually feels smoother at higher FPS. I get a little jitter at 80+ whereas the Freesync has a very "fluid" feel. (this was tested in GTA V which I play the most) Other games are probably different. I am sure they both have upsides and downsides. I notice it does take a little longer for the monitor to initialize a resolution or change in game settings due to G-Sync. (Maybe the module pass-through)
Honestly the picture is so good on the Dell, I don't think I can go back to the BenQ. It just doesn't look as good and I might just put it up for sale cheap soon.
The 1070 or the 1060 is next on my hit spot. I still want a G-sync monitor but i'm in no hurry to pick one up. I keep hoping async frame rates become a mainstream thing.
The Dell S2716DGR goes on sale for under $500 quite often. It is an excellent display.
Looks very similar to the ROG Swift PG278Q. Lightning fast response time TN monitor. Respect!
