Need help on a new display - refresh / gsync

[WackyWRZ]

Hey all - I am looking to upgrade my monitor with a new gaming monitor. I currently am running 1440p 60hz displays and am interested in a higher refresh one. I've got a 980ti and usually play games like LoL and FPS like BF4/BF3/CoD etc...

I've been looking at 144hz displays but can't figure out whether it's worth it for gsync or not - and can't find a clear answer. I am able to push 100+ FPS in the games I play now and I have read that gsync is really only "useful" if you drop below 60FPS. Anyone that has used both care to chime in? The panel I am looking at is the Dell S2716DG which is gsync and 144hz - but I could get a 144hz standard or FreeSync (yes I know that won't work) for much cheaper. I've also seen it recommended to turn off gsync in many times due to lag and to just us the "anti-blur" function of the monitors.

I struggled with this for ever about is g-sync worth it. So I bought a $500 Phillips unit at 1080p to find out. The first thing I noticed is everything was much more smooth. I like it. But for me it didn't equate to higher kill death rations like some have chanted. But visually it is very nice to have the FPS and refresh rate the same. You will not be disappointed unless you expect yourself to be suddenly a great gamer more so than you was.

Buy one and try it from a place that won't charge a restocking fee. Honestly, it's the ONLY way to know.

I actually ended up getting 2x Dell S2716DG and they are AMAZING. 144hz / g-sync was totally worth it!

Awesome, I didn't even know Dell had a GS panel.
