Thanks! That's just what I wanted to hear. I'll probably be going for a Freesync monitor vs. Gsync then, for the following reasons:
- More input ports, not just displayport such as with Gsync
- Built-in scaler so I can use it with different aspect ratios (convenient if you want to attach a playstation/xbox)
- Most of all: cheaper than an equivalent Gsync monitor.
I'm hopeful the new Asus 27" Freesync monitor coming out soon will be good enough. IPS screen with sRGB color space (good enough for my photography stuff after I calibrate it), good viewing angles and still high refresh rate.
And then hopefully the new 300 series from AMD coming out soon will at least be better than the GTX980 so I can get that as well (will be building a new PC this summer).
FWIW, free sync only works over display port. So even if there are DVI, VGA, or HDMI ports available, they would not be compatible with free sync. So you are really in the same situation as a gsync monitor. Some g sync monitors are now coming with other input options.
