Is it $300 less than an aftermarket, higher priced Nvidia card? This whole situation is AMD blowing smoke and mirrors, who knows how they're pricing these systems out. And furthermore, the $300 dollar includes a monitor purchase. I buy a new monitor once every 5+ years. How often do you buy a new monitor? People seem to forget Nvidia cards "work" on freesync monitors (and vice versa with AMD and gsync), too. If Nvidia trouncing AMD by 13+ months and AMD always coming in 3rd (or even 4th) in performance is the new norm, is artificially tying one's self down to freesync (or gsync) worth it?
Again, how often does someone get a new monitor? And (again), despite the features being exclusive, freesync and gsync monitors will show a picture on any GPU.
But even with a new monitor a gsync would cost an extra $200 vs. an equivalent freesync... correct? Five years with a gsync would cost an extra $3.25 / month vs. freesync during that five years. $3.25 / month to have access to the fastest, most efficient cards a year or more before the competition. (The cost per month is the same argument people use when saying an extra 100+ watts of power doesn't matter).
