I am planning to buy a monitor..144Hz..bare minimum RR..1080p..NO 2K OR 4K..and I plan to spend 30k max..
Now the question is should I really expand my budget to 40k and get the BENQ Gsync..2420G..
I have heard that Gsync can help a lot when the game gets taxing to your GPU..But at around 100-144Hz avg,how much is the screen tear evident..And how often does it happen?..
And currently I rock a 980Ti..
So yeah..
Any suggestions for 144Hz..below 30k and any help on the Gsync dilemma..

Monitors with 1440p resolution and 165Hz refresh rate are relatively new and 4K monitors with 144Hz or 120Hz refresh rate are coming out this year.

I won't have enough firepower on a single 980Ti, to run all AAA games at QHD 144Hz not at All 4K 144Hz.
I just needed an opinion if Gsync actually makes a visible difference to spend 14k extra..
