[SOLVED] How important are Nvidia GSYNC and AMD Freesync?

[PhilRed]

So a lot of affordable IPS high refresh rate monitors with 1ms response time are coming out on the market with decent reputation on the brands but not comparable to the Big brands. The only minor concern is that these monitors doesnt have any Nvidia GSYNC and AMD Freesync. Should i stay away from them? Example names of these brands are Migen, SANC, ViewPlus, Nvision, and many more. What big of a difference does the NVIDIA GSYNC and AMD Freesync provides?

IMHO in some games in matter some it doesn't. In anything fast paced like WOW,Diablo,COD, really any FPS I will never go back to not having g-sync compatible. Does a very good job of reducing jitter and frame tearing to my eyes at 1440p 165HZ

That being said if someone is not gaming it will matter zero.

If you are into gaming, especially shooters, it matters a lot. These technologies help you to use your graphics card and monitor fully, without any adverse effects like screen tearing.
