[SOLVED] Buying a 144hz monitor to use with a 980ti

[Thrashtildeth92]

I’m aware the Nividia 9 series doesn’t support FreeSync and I’ll likely experience tearing issues.

My 980ti does however support G-Sync. Does this therefore mean any new monitor I buy at 1080p/1440p with 144hz/165hz is fair game and they’ll be no tearing issues? This is so confusing

No. Your new motherboard needs to support Gsync in order to get rid of tearing.

Okay, supposing my motherboard supports it. Then what?

Sorry typo. I meant you need to make sure to get a 144hz monitor that supports G-sync, as cheaper freesync monitors wont work.

Freesync is amd

You will need a monitor with a G-Sync module. Not a "G-Sync Compatible" (FreeSync) monitor.

I would assume any Gsync monitor would work with a 980ti. I am using a monitor that is 4.5yrs old and it has Gsync and I run my 980ti on it nicely. New monitors should do even better. Gsync compatible might work too, but that I can't confirm.

In your signature you have a 970. If you are upgrading I'd just look for a AMD 5600xt and pair it with a Freesync monitor.
