Gsync an overkill

[numicancu]

I have i7-6800k with 16Gb ram and Gtx1070!!! Wana play games maxed out!! Should i buy 1080p 144hz monitor without Gsync or not???
I have a good Gpu and 144hz monitor !!! Will Gsync monitor be an overkill

what is your current monitor?
I would rather get a 1440p with Gsync to make it feel like a worth upgrade.
Gsync is not really necessary for 1080p gaming with a 1070.

I have Gsync, I think it's a nice touch.

But yeah objectively speaking it is overkill - sort of. You might potentially get tearing here and there but it would be unusual. Thing is, with a 144hz monitor, gsync makes more sense than with a 60hz monitor, since your frames may be in the 120 fps and unable to reach the monitor's refresh rate.

If the monitor you like happens to come with Gsync, go ahead and get it, but don't go out of your way for Gsync. I personally use it when I'm hitting 50fps and my monitor outputs 144hz.

If you want to play casual games, go for a 1440p Gsync monitor instead, but if you're playing eSports like CS:GO, get yourself the 1080p 144hz.

Not worth buying a 1080p 144hz monitor with a 1070.
Go for a 1440p 144hz monitor with G-Sync like the Dell S2716DG, as it will allow you to go SLI 1070s without your monitor holding you back, and will give you more real estate to work with along with better image quality due to the higher resolution.
Goes for a great price at $522 on Amazon right now: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Gaming-S2716DG-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B0149QBOF0?ie=UTF8&tag=pcpapi-20

G-Sync is not worth it on a 1080p monitor in your case, as you will rarely be achieving frame rates that require G-Sync at 1080p with a 1070.
It really only comes into effect if you're running at either higher resolutions like 1440p, or have a graphics card like the 970.

Then should i buy a 1440p 144hz Gsync monitor for my Gtx1070???? I dont wana hit below 60fps for modern games like black ops 3 or gta 5!! With max settings

Yes, you'll be perfectly fine. you can always turn down a few settings if you're hitting an undesirable frame rate, but that's what G-Sync is for!
It makes frame rates which may appear very juttery normally buttery smooth, and improves your experience by a mile.
30-70fps is the target area for G-Sync to operate, meaning it is meant to allow you to turn up settings to higher quality while still achieving a great gaming experience.
You have nothing to worry about, it gives you a better experience and also futureproofs you.
The monitor is a great deal, and is the best choice for your use in my opinion.

Question from numicancu : "Monitor for Gtx 1070"

Should i buy 1440p 144hz Gsync monitor for my single Gtx 1070 if i wanna play games full settings

I have a i7 2700k and a GTX 1070 with a 1440p ultrawide. Doom run about 60 to 80 fps (doom really varies a lot depending on the lvl) Rise of the tomb raider run between 50 to 60 fps. So "full" settings at 100 plus fps may be out of reach for even a 1070 depending on what game you wanna play.

Even still, I would highly recommend a 1440p monitor. You don't have the scaling issues you can have with 4k, and it is a noticeable difference when compared to 1080p.
