So, my GPU is an nvidia 1060, pretty solid all arround for the kind of games i play.
But for a while now, i've been wanting to upgrade my monitor (currently using a viewsonic VA2231 from the year 2010... so yeah...) and since i saw one at a friend's house, i fell in love with ultrawides, more so than going 4k for me, so i really want an ultrawide.
Thing is, in my country the only decent ultrawide monitors are freesync only. The gsyncs ultrawides are older models of acer that are excesively over priced here for a TN and 100mhz monitors.
And also, in my country AMD GPUs are basically none-existent now and hugely overpriced, well over 1k USD in the conversion for a vega 56, not even the 64.
So i have a few options left:
1.- Change my 1060 for a RX580, which i think honestly might be a bit of a downgrade... But hey i get the freesync.
2.- Import a gsync monitor which will cost the same as buying one of the overpriced GPUs.
3.- Get the monitor now and hopefully wait for the GPU prices to fall down within the year and stock to resume so i can get my hands on a more realistically priced vega 56.
As far as i know, if i get the monitor now and pair it with my GPU the best i could use is the adaptative v-sync, leaving it off is a no go and using normal v-sync will lock games at 30, 60, 120 or 140 frames.
