Is a gtx 970 and 60hz monitor bad?

[Pavster]

Hey,
I was wondering if I run a gtx 970 with a 60hz monitor would I get screen tearing and stuttering?
Thanks

what is the resolution of the monitor?
What games are you playing ?
What is the rest of your hardware?

In a word? No. Is it likely a tad bit overkill? Certainly.

Screen tearing will always happen if the monitor and GPU are not working synched.
For 60Hz, screen tearing is visible and happens really often.
It is not GTX970's or R9 390's fault and also not the monitor's fault, if you see screen tearing, it just happens.

To get rid of the screen tearing, you can try to activate VSync and/or tripple buffering.
Be careful, VSync could cause stuttering and triple buffering will increase your VRAM usage a bit.

You will be fine with GTX970

Note:
The ultimate solution for screen tear and stuttering due to VSync is GSync (nVidia) or FreeSync(AMD), you will need a special monitor too.
