I honestly think that neither of these technologies will persuade most PC gamers to get one or the other cause I feel like that more people are waiting for better 4k ready monitors rather than 1080p monitors with hardware level V-sync enabled. I know that in-game V-sync as well as "adaptive" V-sync isn't always perfect but I really don't think that most people care enough to dish out a few hundred dollars just so they can have better V-sync where as they can spend a few hundred dollars and get a 4k ready monitor and just continue to use software V-sync

And I get that its also available for 4k monitors but 4k monitors are quite expensive as it is so spending more just for a better V-sync option still doesn't seem like it will take off just yet but hopefully in the future, it will


You would be wrong. Gamers in general don't care about 4K because they are just paying a whole lot for crappy monitors with brute-force AA. You are paying more for something so could get for free with AA and probobly don't have the graphical power required to run in the first place. You end up playing at a lower resolution with upscaling so everything actually looks worse. 4K is going to go the way of 3D not 1080p.

G-sync is marketed towards gamers and all gamers care about is higher refresh rates and faster response times. That is why most G-sync monitors are the the 144Hz ones. Gamers also stay away from V-sync in general. They would rather take screen-tearing.

I hope you know that, not everyone shares the same opinions as you do.To be honest yes,rght now I know no one but myself that plays at 4k,but the PC gamers that I know don't play at that resolution, because they don't own hardware capable of running it,but it appeals to them none the less.Apparently you seem to have forgotten that, 4k not only works as AA, but also increases the detail that you can perceive from the picture, greatly.As for V-Sync, I can't handle screen tearing, I am so used to a completely clear screen image, that I can notice even the most minor thing,it is actually one of the things that I hate about many console games,my hate for it is so big that is only surpassed by the AA of the same games.
