Long story short - I recently purchased an acer XB270HU to replace an aging 24" NEC multisync 2490WMGX2. I wanted a 27" monitor that I could game on at 2560x1440, but which would be good for productivity too. Given the higher resolution and that I have a GTX980TI - I thought gsync would be a good idea too. After futzing with the monitor for a few days I'm not sure I am correct as to that last point.
To my eyes, the overall effect of gsync is just . . . meh. Coupled with the fact that it doesn't seem to mesh well with certain games (e.g. dying light is a stutter fest with gsync on but is lag free with it off) - it just seems like its a PITA.
Am I doing something wrong? Everything I have read about gsync has been positive (price excepted), so I am pretty disappointed.
Mods - since gsync is nvidia specific I thought this would be the right forum. If this thread belongs over in displays please move it.
