G-Sync Necessary for this?

[wjbowman25]

I'm building a system with a GTX 1070 Dual and an i5 8600k. I've been looking at different monitors that have all of the following:
120hz or greater
1440p
27" or greater
Preferably curved
G sync
I have found the monitor by Viotek GN27DB. It is 144hz, 1440p, 27" curved, the only thing it doesn't have is G sync. I really love the look of this monitor and at $329.99 I think it sounds like a good deal. How much would stuttering occur in this monitor or how intense would the stutter be? Is it worth the time and extra money for G sync? Thanks!

Only you can decide whether it is worth it, so think back to when you were gaming on a monitor that had neither g-sync nor free-sync. How bad was the stuttering for you? Is that amount of stuttering worth the extra money to get rid of?

It's not necessary. It's a nice extra to have. But an expensive option. For that price range of pc, you might want to weigh the cost of a vega graphics card and a freesync monitor.

Personally I wouldnt worry about it unless I was already running something like a 2080. I've always been a nvidia guy. But if I had a freesync monitor (most new monitors are) and a comparable vega card was close in price, It might sway me.

Ok thank you! 😀
