I am really looking forward to the results of this Vega FreeSync vs 1080 Ti G-Sync shootout.



Here's my $1 bet:

- The GTX 1080 Ti will pump out better objectively measured framerates at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K and use less juice doing it.

- At all resolutions, with FreeSync and G-Sync enabled, not even the keen-eyed twitch gamers will be able to tell the setups apart. That is, they will both look outstanding.



I like this comparison's setup. When people see longer bar graphs for 150fps vs shorter bar graphs for 120fps they usually think the former is better, without realizing that they almost certainly can't perceive any differences when both are > 90ish fps.



Vega will be less expensive than the GTX 1080 Ti, and the price disparity only increases factoring in the lower cost of FreeSync vs G-Sync. It will perform equivalently in real world scenarios but lose in lab tests. It will use more power.



I'll wait to see how much less expensive and how much more power will be needed for the flagship Vega card to compete with the 1080 Ti.



Thanks, Kyle.
