80k? I was thinking it'll be around 60k.I don't mind something like this as well http://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2401-DisplayPort-FreeSync-Technology/dp/B01A0ZRR50/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_9?ie=UTF8&refRID=17VEJH7V1H1DQDX3R2T5The thing is I'm planing on buying a new Graphics card as well when AMD Vega is out so 90k is bit much for me at this time.
I dunno why you would wanna play all games at 100+ fps when u have freesync. I would only aim for 100+ fps if i want to play a first person shooter @ multiplayer. For all other games you would want max image settings + variable sync.Gsync has the advantage of having a better variable sync range than freesync atm but its also more expensive.Nvdia always cuts corners with their gfx cards than AMD does and usually the AMD counterpart will have better performance in the long run(This is my experience with using both vendors cards)2560x1440 resolution is quite nice and you can switch it down to 1920x1080 when you want to without getting the significant blurring like you get when switching a 1080p to a lower res.
Been a competitive Battlefield 4 player I need all the FPS that I can get and I rarely play other games.
Since AMD freesync has the Low Framerate Compensation and so on I don't think Gsync has the advantage anymore and when it comes to DX 12 AMD ahead of nvidia even with GTX 1*** series.
Alright, 1080p + tn for you then Get the XG2401 or the XG2701(This has the best freesync range imo)Gsync still has the advantage of having the ability to drive a 2k IPS display from 30-165Hz. While with freesync only the Eizo FS2735 has a dual mode range of 56-144Hz and 35-90Hz and iirc very expensive atm.As I said before you get a lot more performance out of AMD in the long run than Nvdia.

If you're OK with a 24" display, just buy this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-star-DP2414LED-Full-HD-Gaming-Monitor-24-144Hz-Multi-Port-DVI-HDMI-RGB-/221822308188?hash=item33a5a3cf5c:g:51cAAOSwjVVVn4j-Or this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/QNIX-QX2414-LED-144-FHD-24-1-5ms-1920x1080-24-inch-Full-HD-144Hz-Gaming-Monitor-/111657786714?hash=item19ff529d5a:g:kE8AAOSwv0tVQG6LAnd if you want something bigger, here's a 28" 120Hz display:http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-CrossOver-F28LED-28-1920x1080-FHD-16-9-MVA-HDMI-Over-Clock-120hz-Remote-/222006528324?hash=item33b09ec944:g:6o4AAOSwa-dWpxdJBoom. Done. You're welcome.
I dont have backlight strobing on my Asus MG279Q T_T
Hi there, the point of having freesync is that you don't have to upgrade your video card every so often. Since they introduced LFC, it's even better now as long as you have a capable monitor. I have a freesync panel and a couple of things I'd like to point out : only supports dx9 10 and 11. No 12 or open gl or Vulkan support yet. It's on the way apparently. God knows when. I have 2 290's and even one of them is enough to keep a solid 40+ in most games, maybe not something like the witcher 3. But then LFC comes in to play and saves the day. Never dips below 30 frames. There is a major difference between 100hz and 30 with freesync on, but it only affects really fast paced fps games or something like rocket league. If you're into games like hitman or the witcher, you'll do just fine. This is what I learned thru my experience. Hope it helps to make a Decision. At the end of the day, freesync is a great great technology to have. Edit: my resolution is 2560x1440. And didn't see your priority was battlefield. Then yeah go for the most fps as you can. Makes a big difference freesync on or off. Imo, the backlight strobing most high end monitors have is even better for BF. That's what I use, since that turns off freesync anyway. My monitor is a Benq xl2730z FYI.
