My gaming computer specifications are: GTX 1050ti, Intel Core i5-8400, and 16GB of RAM. Currently, I’m using a 75Hz FreeSync monitor which results in significant screen tearing. I have two choices: purchase a $200 144Hz G-Sync compatible monitor, or acquire an RX 580 with 8GB of VRAM to enable FreeSync. If I bought the $200 monitor, I would likely purchase a used GTX 1070 in April. Which option do you recommend? Thank you.

I would absolutely choose the 580 over the monitor. A FreeSync configuration would provide greater benefit than another uncoordinated system.

I would absolutely choose the 580 over the monitor. A FreeSync configuration would provide greater benefit compared to a mismatched, uncoordinated system.

Regarding upgrade choices, here’s my situation: My computer specs are an Nvidia GTX 1050Ti, Intel i5-8400 processor, and 16GB of RAM. Currently, I'm using a 75Hz FreeSync monitor which frequently exhibits screen tearing. I have two potential solutions – purchasing a $200 144Hz G-Sync compatible monitor, or acquiring an AMD RX 580 with 8GB of video memory to enable FreeSync functionality. If I were to buy the $200 monitor, I would likely purchase a used GeForce GTX 1070 in April. What is the best course of action? Thank you.

The GeForce 1050 Ti now supports FreeSync; simply update your graphics card driver and activate FreeSync within the NVIDIA control panel.

Indeed, and it functions with approximately one-third of 400 displays.

@ superhos
Nah, only 12 is verified by Nvidia, driver support is for universal freesync, not just 12 monitors. Effect could differ though. Doesn’t hurt to try.
