GTX 1070 with a freesync monitor

[Ticho_]

so i bought the msi gtx 1070 in a sale.
amd or Nvidia doesn't matter that much to me.
i want a 144hz monitor but i'm not sure if my Nvidia card will work with a freesync monitor.
i was looking at a AOC G2460PF. 144Hz freesync monitor. Nvidia has his own Gsync. will
a Nvidia card word without stuttering or screentearing with a freesync monitor?

i cant adjust the height on this monitor what is a must have for me. so to be clear. a 144HZ freesync monitor will work like a regular 144HZ monitor. using vsync will prevent my screen from tearing and stuttering. the AOC G2460pf is height adjusteble and its'll perform like a regular 144hz monitor when using a Nvidia card. using this monitor will be fine for competetive CS:GO, thanks for your replys guys!

I actually disagree with the person saying this is correct. Vsync will eliminate tearing but it will not eliminate stuttering. That is exactly why G-Sync and FreeSync are popular.

Vsync locks your FPS to a multiple of your monitor's refresh rate. That means that if you aren't capable of holding 144 FPS the game will drop down to 72 FPS. On a normal 60 Hz monitor it will lock to 30 FPS.

The stutter happens when a game is right on the edge of those Vsync numbers. If a game is constantly switching between 144 and 72 FPS (or 60 and 30 FPS) on a standard monitor it will be very noticeable. G-Sync and FreeSync solve this problem by eliminating tearing by changing the monitor's refresh rate on the fly instead of trying to limit to the GPU to multiples of the refresh rate.

Edit: Since you are using the monitor for competitive CS:GO you probably won't have this stuttering problem since a 1070 will have no trouble maintaining a constant 144 FPS in that game. Most competitive players would not use Vsync though since it introduces input lag. FreeSync and G-Sync also wouldn't help anything at framerates above 144.

if i understand correctly. i wont be able to use the freesync because of my Nvidia card. and since its not a Gsync monitor i cant take advantage of freesync and gsync. only thing i want is no screentearing and no stuttering. will i get that if i am playing csgo? i saw some videos saying you'll get around 350+ fps with an i6-6600K wich is also included in my build. i'm trying to understand what its means for the stuttering have no freesync, gsync and vsync.

so having freesync, gsync will do nothing since my fps is above the framerate of the monitor. it'll run buttersmooth right? another thing. wich cable should i use to connect my pc to my monitor. to get the 144Hz. i saw this in the discription of the monitor on a site: "Dual Link DVI - Dual Link DVI effectively doubles the video bandwidth at a given pixel clock frequency, supporting higher screen refresh rates (120/144Hz) and greater color depths.". so i should use the dual link dvi. the graphics card has 3x DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI to output.. what should i use. (sorry for poor english) its not my native language :/

Just use fast sync in CS:GO as provided above and you shouldn't see screen tear at super high framerates. They normally happen because the frame timings are way off sync compared to the monitor's refresh rate.

It works the following way: A game creates so many frames per second vs. A monitor refreshes the screen so many times per second. If the values are equal and synchronised (With V-Sync, which does that), you get the ''perfect'' 144 fps for example. The monitor refreshes the screen 144 times at the same time a game produces 144 fps per second.

Without V-Sync it goes like this:

Rendered frame
Rendered frame
Screen refresh
Rendered frame
Screen refresh
Rendered frame
Rendered frame
Rendered frame
Rendered frame
Screen refresh

^ The inconsistencies above cause the POTENTIAL (NOT NECESSARY) jitter/tearing/stuttering.

Anyways, you can use either DVI or DisplayPort cable, both will do the same, though buy a DisplayPort cable as they are newer and more future proof.

I use an I5 6600k over clocked to 4.0GHz, gtx 1060 3gb, and get 300 fps in csgo. There is screen tearing, but I fixed that by activating fast sync. Now there isn't any screen tearing.

All your monitor cables will come with your monitor, at least that was what happened in my case.

Idk but is Cs:GO limited to 300 fps or something? I can't seem to get anymore than that, whatever my settings are, and there isn't any fps cap.
