IPS is a kind of panel tech. There are basically three kinds of panels: TN, IPS and VA. IPS has the advantage of better colours, wider palette and better viewing angles.

I know of Freesync monitors with IPS screens (tho they are 1440p), so I'd say that there has to be some G-Sync ones too.

Would the Gsync ones be within at least the £500 range and not 800+?.

I mean I would go for one if they didn't cost a load and provided me with an experience that doesn't involve me having screen tearing or laggy Vsync only issues. With this BenQ I'm currently sporting I cannot seem to play new titles with Nvidias Vsync without getting a load of stutters or turning it off giving me tearing, FSBWM seems to kill most of those issues with games like Battlefront and older titles with Vsync not really giving me any issues (Recent Dragon's Dogma port with Vsync works perfectly with hardly any dips and no stuttering). I just don't want to buy a really expensive monitor to find that it doesn't support my spec or gives me stuttering issues.

Huh, so one of the Youtubers I watch on Planetside 2 just landed a job at Daybreak.

I'll have to look at it to give you an honest answer (it's not my market) but after doing a quick search, I doubt it.

Finding a 144Hz IPS screen is hard enough and the G-Sync tech adds some more. I don't even know if £600 would be enough.

Just for the laughs:

Second reply to your post.

After a bit of searching, I've only found one monitor below £600, the 27" and 1440p Acer XB270HU.

The next one is the new ROG Swift that goes well beyond £600. There aren't many options on the market .

TALES OF SYMPHONIA IS NOW ON STEAM

http://www.pcgamer.com/tales-of-symphonia-is-now-on-steam/

Tales of Symphonia, the second single player game in the series to hit PC after last year's Tales of Zesteria, is now live on Steam. Originally released on GameCube in 2003, the PC version is based on a PS3 port released in 2014 – so it should look pretty decent, though I've not had the chance to check it out.

>>But...

TALES OF SYMPHONIA IS A MESS ON THE PC, LOCKED AT 30FPS & 720P INTERNAL RESOLUTION

Tales of Symphonia has just been released on the PC and… it’s a mess. According to various reports, the game’s internal resolution is locked at 720p and its framerate is locked at 30fps. Moreover, there are lots of typos in the PC version; typos that weren’t present in the PS3 version (from which the PC version was ported).

Bandai Namco has released the launch trailer (which is basically the game’s intro) for NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 releases on February 5th, so here is hoping that the game won’t be plagued by any idiotic 30fps or 720p locks (because another game from Bandai Namco suffers from such issues).

THE WITNESS SPEED RUN FINISHES THE GAME IN JUST OVER 25 MINUTES

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-witness-speed-run-finishes-the-game-in-just-over-25-minutes/

I haven't played The Witness yet, but nearly everyone else at PC Gamer has. It's notoriously tricky, so it's a surprise to see impressive speed runs trickling through already. The current record is held by speedrunner Azorae, who has managed to complete the game in 25 minutes and 53 seconds. Contrast that with the work of fellow PC Gamer scribe Chris Livingston, who (in his own words) "spent 23 minutes driving a boat back and forth past a rock I thought had something to do with something, but didn't."

THE WITNESS PATCH WILL (HOPEFULLY) FIX MOTION SICKNESS PROBLEMS

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-witness-patch-will-hopefully-fix-motion-sickness-problems/

The Witness is a heck of a good puzzle game, and apparently selling quite well, which is good news for the creative future of Jonathan Blow. But it's making some people sick, too: Not in the sense of a “Wow, I can't believe I spent 40 bucks on this 3D Sudoku thing” jag of buyer's remorse, but actually feeling physically ill as the result of motion sickness.

RAINBOW SIX SIEGE 'BLACK ICE' DLC LAUNCHES TOMORROW, HERE ARE SOME NEW IMAGES

http://www.pcgamer.com/rainbow-six-siege-black-ice-dlc-launches-tomorrow-here-are-some-new-images/

Despite releasing on February 2 (which is tomorrow in most parts of the world), Ubisoft hasn't said much about the forthcoming 'Black Ice' DLC for Rainbow Six Siege. We know a bit about the two new operators, but we only know these details due to a series of leaks. Now, Ubisoft has released some new info on the map via an unannounced update to the French version of its Rainbow Six site, though it hasn't yet done so for the English version.

BATTALION 1944 SEEKS FUNDING TO RETURN THE FPS TO WW2

http://www.pcgamer.com/battalion-1944-seeks-funding-to-return-the-fps-to-ww2/

Doing things on a shoestring, going back to basics, taking on a challenge with spunk, skill and a dash of new tech—that's the traditional telling of the British war effort, so it's fitting that a team from Derby, UK, is stripping down the FPS and taking it back to 1944. Bulkhead Interactive is seeking £100,000 to complete Battalion 1944, a throwback to Medal of Honor and Call of Duty 2.

>>This is the announcement trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwT7DJLHAKQ

I got the 3.5gb patch for Grey Goo last night. Might give it a shot and see what it's all about.

Also I dunno about that monitor, I'll save it for the future but I'm just set on the AOC for the time being. I'll likely save it for when I get a new build which should be next year hopefully.

Just a head's up, they have updated the article with the 980 and a 4GB 960, so I'm sure they'll add more in the coming days.

Oh, if anyone has a 960... don't try to play it on max, it only runs at 18fps!
