I can't go back to playing without Gsync/Freesync/VRR

Yeah it's really impressive, especially the low latency. Can't wait for Freesync to come to the LG C9.
I still manage to.
But I can't even play 30 fps games for shit anymore without them feeling awful coming from 100+

VRR monitors are a game-changer. Then again, all things involving FPS are game-changers. Image quality takes on a whole new meaning when you exit photo mode.
They're awesome and I enjoy playing on them at friends' houses, but I haven't taken the plunge because I only really play SP games, for which 60 fps is more than adequate, and afaik they're not compatible with an AVR setup. As much as I'd enjoy the lower latency, I'm disinclined to sacrifice audio quality. Tips for VRR + decent audio setup for a small study welcome.. I'm on the precipice; just need a push!
idk about euroland, but amazon (US) has multiple choices of 1440p 144hz freesync monitors under $300.

Agreed. It's more because of the 144 fps that comes with it though.
Playing games at 1440p/144hz FreeSync is the top-tier gaming experience. I played through Inside like that on my IPS monitor a few days ago, and it was pretty amazing.
tell me about it, just picked this up https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB271HU-bmiprz-2560x1440/dp/B06ZXZ3QBD/ and it is my first PC gaming monitor, coming straight from consoles....god damn.
I have a 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync sitting next to my 43" 60Hz HDR 4K. I play games fine equally on both... sometimes even moving my PC games to the 4K when I want the bigger display/resolution. I don't see it as a downgrade or distraction. Kinda feel bad for those this has such a detrimental effect on.
I can't relate. Having a 1440p 27 inch 144hz Freesync and an LG OLED, I never choose Freesync unless I'm playing CSGO.
Picture quality makes a world of difference. Fucking done with these LCDs and their trash colors and contrast. Except when I need to play CS :p

Not that I can't live without it, but I will go for high frame rate and g-sync over 4K whenever there's a choice.
I hope the next generation of consoles has some games with 100+ FPS modes so people with compatible VRR TVs can get in on this. I could see it being a next gen selling point for stuff like Rocket League, Fortnite, and Minecraft.

I wish there was a place to play around with high refresh monitors. Every Fry's I've ever been to has 144hz monitors on display but there always hooked up to PCs without any games. See the mouse move around the desktop smoothly is neat, but you'd think they'd have it running a game to show it off.
Same at Best Buy, they always have gaming PCs on display that don't have any games installed, so you can mess around the desktop with a machine they're claiming is a beast gaming rig. I wonder how much more popular PC gaming would be if you could easily visit a retail store and see games like Star Citizen running on high settings, or console ports running at high FPS at 1440p+, or a shooter running at 144hz.
I've really only ever gamed on consoles (I played the Sims and Civ on my parent's old desktop but that's the extent of my PC gaming) but I strongly prefer playing games at 60fps. I assume I'd love gaming on a 1440p, 144hz screen (ultra-wide monitors seem very cool as well) but it's worrying to spend $1,000+ on a PC before I know whether or not I think it's worth it.

I was just playing Sea of Thieves for the first time on my new gaming PC while my wife played beside me on her X1X and the difference in how smooth the camera pans and water flow were was pretty drastic. Its nuts that I used to assume that was the best gaming could be, and I agree I dont think I could go back.
