I need to get a new monitor and was reading about the Gsync from NVIDIA. Current video card not supported for GSync. So then started looking about general system upgrade.
So current system is
MB: Asus Sabertooth x79
CPU: Intel I7-3820@3.60GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
Mem: 16GB DDR3
I use the computer for gaming and some photo work as well as the usual internet/email etc.
I am considering a 27 to 30 inch monitor. Like to use the best settings for gaming. I can afford top of the line, but don't really want to unnecessarily spend if it won't improve performance.
So is GSync any good? If so should i just upgrade the video card and to what? Would upgrading the CPU make a difference? From the Asus site it appears that the top CPU upgrade for that board is Core I7-4960x, though I read performance is close to that one with I7-4930 at 1/2 the price.
