What monitor is it, full GSync with the module?

Don’t let a gsync monitor define your choice!

That's why we need to know the monitor, if it's not a module version it should work with AMD anyway.

It's one of the first generation Gsync monitors, Acer Predator XB271HU. So I'm pretty sure it has the Gsync module.

The 5060ti is worth it over the 9060xt for dlss, frame gen and ray tracing performance and visuals.

When you look at the savings over the life of the card, it's just not worth it for a worse experience overall.

Seems you will get longer driver support too...

Well if you want to keep using GSync then you only have one choice with that monitor.

Yes, but what I'm really asking is whether the GSync actually matters that much. I suppose I could try disabling it and see how much difference it makes.

Your other options are using Vsync assuming your system can give you a consistent frame rate equal to the refresh rate you're using; or having a lot of screen tearing.

If that bothers you or not is a question only you can answer.

Personally, VRR is a must with todays games with how uneven their performance can be.

RTX 5060 Ti 16GB pr 5070 will be quite affordable come Black Friday / Black November Sales

I would never drop Nvidia or Gsync modules that is the most premium setup and you want to break it for the cheap freesync version nooooooooooooo. The module has less flicker than freesync and the panels are binned as well unlike freesync. Modern games are unplayable in my opinion without gsync you would need to guarantee a locked framerate to your monitors max hertz to avoid stutter even dropping 1 single frame would cause stutter thats crazy! Get the 5060 Ti.

Depends, if you have a game and are getting say 70 FPS but has dips going to 45/50 FPS GSync will make it look a lot better, but say if you can run a game at a locked frame rate no problem GSync isn't needed as much.

I tend to lock FPS around the lower points for smooth frame times, but I have a much beefier GPU so my low points are still high.

Do you want the best ? You ve got your answer

As stated above, depends if your setup/config/application has widely disparate/fluctuating highs and lows. If your running rock steady Any_Sync does F_ALL. If your lazy yea it can help. But to be honest, what kind of monitor (sync, no sync, type of sync) you have is the LAST reason to make a GPU determination. It's mostly a marketing gimmick imho. Since the GPU can easily become the biggest single $ sink in a build; it makes more sense to build out from the GPU, not inward towards it.

It's really not a marketing gimmick, there are very few reasons to buy an AND gpu over an nvidia one right now, frankly, you have to be a real fanboy to do so.

The savings are not enough over the life of the card to give up the superior tech, thst the OP has a gsync monitor gives him even less reason to go AMD.

Edited, I accidentally deleted an important part of a line.
