Gah, have to pass this drop since I don't have a card yet that could drive this (Waiting on AID RX 480's/ GTX 1060 to come out.)

DemokirbyI just got my MSI Gaming X 1070 and now I can't wait to get this monitor :D

ShehzaanA Freesync monitor might not be they right way to go, since nvidia don't support Freesync (even though it's an open standard). You should look into a monitor with the proprietary gsync module for nvidia to get similar functionality.

inquamDon't really care about G-Sync as I would be turning that off anyway even if I had a G-Sync monitor.

ShehzaanWait, why would you turn off G-Sync if you had the option?

Shehzaanwhy would you get this monitor? The only good thing about it is the 144hz which youll never be able to get working with that 1070

NikolaiArmanWho said? The 1070 averages all the current games on 1080p at 90 FPS or more.

ShehzaanWould you be able to take advantage of 144Mhz with the RX 480?

yeky83I doubt that since the RX 480 would give you just 60-70 FPS on 1080p maxed out.

ShehzaanThen FreeSync is really kind of meh for this monitor. 144Mhz is great though.

yeky83Depends on the game. In CS:GO and Overwatch it should be easy to take advantage of the 144hz. Same with Battlefield if you tweak the settings to be less taxing. Most benchmarks put the RX480 on the same level or better than the 970/R9 390 in most modern games. Barring exceptions that are traditionally bad for AMD cards. The thing you should worry about is the current issues with the RX480 drawing too much power from the PCI slot. Decent motherboards can handle the extra power draw but it still shouldn't happen and AMD promises to address the issue. Also RX480 partner cards from companies like Sapphire might also take care of that problem. Only thorough reviews can tell and it may be wise to wait a while before getting an RX480. Though R9 390s have been dipping to the ~$250 range lately.

ShehzaanObviously you are not very bright, If a monitor has a 60Hz refresh rate such as this one unless you are using an AMD card which you are not, the monitor will only display a max of 60FPS so you will never see more than 60FPS being displayed through this monitor with your card

NikolaiArmanNot true, the monitor will display up to 144hz on green team or red team, but the free sync technology only works on AMD cards, research a little more sir.

yeky83Don't listen to Sheehzaan he don't understand the first thing about Freesync... The whole idea behind freesync is that low fps will look smooth, as long as your RX480 can (and it can) produce between 30 fps and 144 fps, the Freesync tech will let your 'monitor hz' emulate the fps at all given points.
This monitor is a perfect combo for the RX480, you will have a super smooth gameplay experience, so very cheaply. It's a very smart purchase. But don't buy the RX480 just yet, Refference stock AMD version is only a 6pin connector 150 TDP card, when Asus MSI etc release their versions, the RX480 will feature higher TDP's 8pin connector, much higher Clock speeds, and much better cooling.

NikolaiArmanGo do your research mate. Your information is absolute rubbish. If I had an AMD card and after enabling the FreeSync all it would do is get me adaptive framerates. Having an Nvidia graphics card won't hamper the 144 Hz in games, just that I would be missing out on the adaptive framerate which I don't honestly care about.

HitashiAll I said was that he won't be able to utilize all the 144 framerates as the max that card can do on any game is around 60-70 FPS. And I do know about adaptive framerates which benefit when you get low FPS. Only thing about this monitor which is good for him is the FreeSync technology.

ShehzaanThat's wrong on too many levels.. The 144 hz refresh rate will look better, no matter what your current fps is. On a 60hz monitor the amount of time it takes to scan a frame in, is 8ms. When your GPU are sending frames to this slow refresh rate, the mathematical chance of being too soon or too early is pretty large, and the amount you can miss the mark by is large as well, ( how much were i too late or too soon ) and your teared image will be displayed for 8 ms as well.
When you go down to 144 hz Each image will only appear for 3.8 ms, how much an individual image can tear is reduced by more than 100%, and the amount of time this teared image will be displayed is also reduced by more than 100%, if you had high enough hz, you would not even need sync. say 1000 hz monitor, no need for sync. Don't comment on stuff you have no clue about.

ShehzaanIf a monitor had a refresh rate of say 1 million hz, there would be no tearing at all, regardless of how much fps you have. since, tearing is caused by your GPU sending an image to the monitor, while the monitor is not yet ready to scan, that's what causes tearing. but with higher hz, your monitor is 'ready to scan' at much higher intervals, meaning your GPU cannot send an image ' at a wrong moment ' this moment doesn't exist any longer. Every moment is right for your monitor, with 144 hz we're down at aprox 3.8 ms interval between scans. If we go up to a 576 hz monitor, the intervals between scans would be 0.95 ms, the amount of tearing caused by this refresh rate, would be invisible to the naked eye, FOR SURE!
When i play on my Midi keyboard, and i set the driver latency up for the sound, 4 ms feels realtime, but 8ms feels SO delayed, if you get the analogy, 4 ms being 120hz and 8ms being 60hz intervals.

ShehzaanLong before i knew about FPS, i played on EIZO CRT monitors with around 300hz, it were lets just say, extreme. And then the LCD 5ms IPS panels came, 60 hz refresh and all.. I forgot everything about how a high hz experience should be, many years passed, and the LED 120 hz were released, i got one 2010, BOOM it were back again, damn it looks cool, even when you do quick spins in 1st person mode, no tearing. Then year 2015, i get better 144 hz, That's EVEN better, the quick spins are less smudged out. but the EIZO 300hz CRT is still a clear winner, not when it comes to vivid colors, but when it comes to a rock solid steady image that will not smudge if you spin around with the cam, then that old EIZO monitor kills all competition.
If you do not already own a 144 hz monitor, which i don't think you do, since you talk about this subject like you've never seen a 144 hz monitor in action 'with your own eyes' GET ONE! (if you're a gamer ofc) :p

DoombotBLThat power issue was already resolved in a bios update. For the games that 144hz really matters for which is competitive multiplayers, it should do fine hitting that in most of the major name competitive games.
