Got an rx480 and a freesync 4k

While waiting for the monitor to arrive I was experiencing some buyers remorse about the heat and performance of the 480.

Freesync is worth it, hell I think gsync would be too, but it costs a lot more. Bottom line though is that everything feels really really fuckin smooth even when my frame rates dip and I still max out nearly everything in 4k and find it playable. My nvidia card got more fps but my 480 just feels better. Some titles like tomb raider and shadow or mordor you might need to play on high instead of ultra. Still worth it.

I'm running 1440p 144hz gsync on a 980ti. It's beautiful and I'll never go back lower.

yeah I was looking at a similar loadout and went for more resolution instead of refresh rate because im not competitively playing and the machine has to do dual purpose as a workstation handling a lot of multitasking.

1440p with 144hz feels like the gaming sweet spot, but I still dont have any regrets, the freesync/gsync are so impressive its hard to describe without seeing firsthand.
