1080p or 1440p? G-Sync or no G-Sync?

Hi all,

I'm looking at upgrading my current 1080p 60hz IPS monitor, and the only thing I know for sure is that I want to go to a high refresh rate i.e 144hz.

I'm torn between going to 1440p, or staying at 1080p and getting G-Sync. I'm currently running a 980ti which i know can power 1440p, but for how long? Would sticking with 1080p be more future proof in that I will be able to run games at better settings for a longer amount of time?

Also would G-Sync really be necessary at 1080p as surely my framerate will be high with a 980ti and I know G-Sync works best at lower FPS ranges.

My budget doesn't really stretch to 1440p G-Sync...

So TL;DR

With my 980ti, do I go for 1080p G-Sync, or 1440p 144hz no G-Sync

Thanks!

Go for the 1440, you'll be fine.
I have an Asus MG279Q coupled with a MSI R9 390X. A friend of mine loved my display and decided to pair it with his 980 video card. He couldn't justify the extra cost for G-Sync. He is happy and doesn't regret his purchase.
I rarely run FreeSync as I get great results just setting the refresh to 144Hz and clicking the play button.
Your videocard will power a 1440p monitor for quite some time.

We both run most of our games maxed.

Okay thanks for that! I was thinking it's not worth the huge amount g-sync for so I'll probs just go 1440p 144hz. Can anyone recommend a good priced one?
