If you have a GeForce GTX 1050 or newer card, you should be able to force "G-Sync Compatible" mode aka VESA standard adaptive sync aka AMD's FreeSync on. It might be worth a Google search to see how other folks have fared using G-Sync Compatible mode with your particular FreeSync monitor model.I use a 1440p 144Hz monitor- the "problem is, it is using FreeSync, so I would like to get another AMD card to use this feature in the future.

AMD's current generation of graphics cards offer competitive performance in most games. The latest GeForce RTX 30x0 cards have stronger ray-tracing performance. That may matter more in a couple of years than it does today.My budget is kind of unlimited, however, I would want to get performance for my money of course.
Unfortunately, supply of these new GPUs has not been sufficient. Scalpers are using bots to gobble up what few cards do get listed on-line and they're being re-sold for triple their list price. I was able to order a GeForce RTX 3080 directly from EVGA after signing up on their notification list.
