The FreeSync version offers a higher Refresh rate

That is due to nvidia not bothering to update their old G-Sync module (the non-HDR version). This effectively caps it at 120 Hz.

It's definitely a screen I've got my eye on. I hope there's isn't a huge difference in price between the two models.

What a rip off. 1300 Euros for a GSync monitor that is using the old module.

G-sync useful?

Let's say you ran a 2080Ti on either of these monitors... with such a powerful GPU, would you miss G-Sync on the Freesync version? I really don't know as I've never had a GPU that can seriously push a monitor before, but have seen G-Sync benefit at lower FPS for sure.

Here's a video on it, if I understood your question correctly:

But yes, in my experience, G-Sync does help a lot.

I wonder how long it will take before a proper hack comes around that let's you do this without an AMD APU or GPU. Actually I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet, considering the G-Sync enabled notebooks are all software based on adaptive sync anyway

I've noticed lately there seems to be more freesync monitors than gsync monitors getting released with better features BUT there's bugger all decent GPU's to run them I don't get it

There's been more freesync monitors for a long time my dude

We desperately need AMD to come out with a ripper card to use with these vast array of screens buddy

Agreed. We need AMD to do a lot..
