i want a 4k monitor but keep finding ones with freesync, im running 1070's SLI and want to know if a 60hz freesync will capp my frame rate to 30 even with DP

this is the monitor i was thinking about:

If the monitor supports HDMI 2.0 it'll run at 4k@60Hz.

FreeSync will be disabled and not in use.

With a DP 1.2 cable it should work aswell.

i owe you a cookie, thanks. been torn on a 4k or a couple 1440ps but can never find a solid price and seems most 4ks are fixed at 60hz, and not as bad pricing

Have you looked at this Nixeus 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor?

FreeSync aswell, but it has great features for the price. It looks great.

You are aware that freesync is supported by AMD, and G-Sync by nvidia?

thats pretty sexy not gonna lie. i was orginally going to get this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y1GZHYJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1BVYXEL822RF0

but due to my desk size and size of my room, and my dual 1070s, i felt 4k would be fun LOL

Seems like he knows, he's just looking at monitors with good pricing yet keeps spotting the FreeSync support which he was confused about I guess.

Just checked, I knew you did, but might open out other options (likely more expensive ones though).

i know for sure the diffrence between freesync and gsync, its just soo many people say different things, and some say if its nativly 60hz and you use nvidia, you get capped to a fraction, thats why i asked the community here thanks btw for the time.

also i didnt want to break my bank, i already spent alot on my pc build, and keep adding little things here and there,

when i was torn between 4k and 2k monitors, i figured im SLI'd up i should have no issues with 4k and if worst case i can drop the res down/ drop game settings lol

so with a 60Hz screen, (no g-sync), if you miss a frame update, then you skip to the next, hence you are either showing 60Hz or 30hz, or 15hz, so if you are not capable of running 61hz then you'll probably flip between 60 and 30.

With a g-sync screen if you miss the next natural update then it instantly shows another frame, so you might be at 60 or 59/58/57 etc. So you don't need to guarantee 60hz to have a non 30hz experience.

It depends on the V-Sync type. Many games use non-sparse V-Sync which don't drop you from 60 to 30 straight away.

Hybrid v-sync, i remember thinking it was good at the time, can't recall how it works now, it is what I used to use until I went g-sync.
