I'm hopping into a new monitor, and I'm buying Freesync (heavily because Nvidia's business practices currently disgust me) and by doing so I save $200-300 on a 2K 144hz monitor so... it's cheaper for me.
Yes that's why I have the freesync qualifier in my post. I've made hundreds of posts explaining why freesync bundle automatically makes any amd gpu a good value.
Your $200-300 savings is a $1000 savings at 4k monitors with real screen sizes above 30 inches.
Hence why I said before, even if Vega is a terrible gpu at a worse level of competiveness than fury x, it's still good Ina freesync bundle. Hence why this vendor lock is extremely frustrating.
Even worse if you intend to upgrade to 4k 144hz. That's be $2600-$4000 in monitors for 4k 60 hz to 4k 144hz for gsync compared to $1000-1500 for amd.
The gsync monitors best case scenario costs more than monitors plus crossfire Vega.
You didn't need to know anything about Vega or Nvidia performance to know that Vega + freesync is the cheapest adaptive sync option for gaming, and since I view adaptive silence as a must have well... I'm not paying that much for gsync monitors.
