I have AOC G2460V (1920x1080 @ 75hz) with Freesyng (for ATI cards), I only use nvidia cards so I cant use freesync but its ok.
But I cant advise people to buy 75hz monitors. All gamers should go for 144hz even if they play at 80fps.
For me 75fps is the minimum for fast first person shooters and 60fps is unplayable (you lose the track of the enemy when there is a lot of movement). So, in the future I will go for a 144hz monitor, even if my rig can only get 85-90fps. I will buy a monitor with g-sync, so it will be fine.
ps: also free-sync is a little tricky. I tried it on another game that I play (quake) and capping it at 80fps has very choppy. I had to cap it at 75 or 76 fps to have a smooth animation. And even then Im not sure that it is better than un-synced.
(for some reason some games look veeeery smooth when you play "nosync , capped at 76fps on a 75hz monitor" and other games like Apex look very bad. Apex looks bad even at 100fps ,on a 75hz monitor I mean )
When the display controller on the monitor drops frames for smoothness it can appear like disappearing some 60hz monitors are more than capable and some 144hz monitors are just bad and pushed to appear that way and hinder play.
Freesync and Gsync are gimmicks like RGB and Gaming so are the days of our lives.
I'm afraid you are right.
Also I did more testing today.
In quake champions, fast sync is a lot worse than the normal vsync , its too choppy. No sync at all its also a lot better (than fast sync) , it does a lot of tearing but still its good.
So, Im afraid it will be the same for apex too. (normal)Vsync will be a lot better than fast sync. For now (where normal vsync doesnt work in apex ) fast sync is the only solution for me.Its not bad but its not perfect.
(I agree about some monitors are worse than others but still , a perfectly synced 60hz monitor vs a perfectly synced 75hz monitor has 15less frames. If you like do do a test ,there are some first person shooters that let you do vsync every 2 frames. If you have a 60hz monitor it makes you play at 30fps synced. When you play some time with 30fps then you understand that there is absolutely no way that 60 fps are enough for a fast first person shooter........90fps , yes I would be happy... but less than 80-85fps you are in serious disadvantage when you play vs people with expensive computers )
