I want to buy 1-2 new monitors for my friend. He only plays on PC occasionally, sometimes on his PS4.

This one corresponds to my ideas. Now my only concern is that this monitor is incompatible with his computer / graphics card.
Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 970
The monitor supports (?) AMD Freesync… But Nvidia is only compatible with G-Sync? I have absolutely no idea, everything is new to me.
I would connect the monitor with a Displayport to Mini Displayport cable, if that matters. Can anyone tell me whether all of this would work with the monitor?
What kind of GTX 970 is it?
Freesync is only supported by Nvidia graphics cards via Displayport from the GTX 1000 series.
So he can't use that and has to resort to V-Sync as an alternative to prevent image breakdown.
Or he spends a little more on a monitor with G-Sync.
The monitor itself is not bad, if the graphics card has an HDMI port, the monitor runs with the PC.
Unfortunately, I can't say exactly…
"and must use V-Sync as an alternative to prevent image breakdown" That means looking for another monitor?
The graphics card has a mini HDMI connection. But wouldn't it be the same with Mini DP, wouldn't it?
Yes
All screens are compatible with all graphics cards and PCs.
the question is actually whether it is necessary to buy such a screen. Because it can sometimes happen that the PC can't perform as well as the monitor does. But as I see you have a very good graphics card so it should fit well.
Nene, V-Sync is based on the game, every monitor can do that.
If you get more fps than the monitor has HZ, the image will tear. Therefore you turn on V-Sync so that the fps are synchronized with the Hz rate of the monitor.
Freesync with AMD cards or G-Sync with Nvidia cards is of course better. The advantage of G-Sync is that there's a module in the monitor, which is why they are more expensive, which goes over the entire range of 1-144Hz, while with Freesync monitors you have to see what the range is, as some z. B. Only have 23-74Hz as a range.
My recommendation to take a little more money and buy one with G-Sync, you will have more of it.
Can you think of an alternative? A monitor with 144hz as "main monitor" was put to my heart. But I don't know whether this is necessary for his gambling behavior. He doesn't play something like CS Go or something
