I recently built my first rig and been using the hdmi cable that came with the MSI Optix G24C6 144hz monitor, which should be 1.4b. But now I remembered that the monitor is G-Sync compatible. Through googling I found out that majority prefers display port over hdmi but since I don’t have DP, I’m not exactly sure if it’s worth it (and hdmi 1.4b seems to support 144hrz anyway). What exactly does G-Sync do and should I get the DP for it?
Also, my gpu is AMD RX 5700, if that helps.
I actually went down this same path with my new monitor, I despise screen tearing (that vsync fixes), but I also hate the slight input latency (that vsync introduces). I ended up getting a display port cable and setting up FreeSync, which was a one time setup and now as long as I turn off vsync in all my games freesync is just permanently on, it’s great!
Just really depends how much you care or notice those two things, being screen tearing or vsync’s latency.
