    can it work? will it work? is it worth it?

    all I could really find... http://www.techspot.com/downloads/drivers/essentials/nvidia-geforce/

    I'm purchasing a monitor, and wondering if I should spend the extra dough to get one with gsync capability (roughly $100-150 more)

    Yes I game, I do about everything under the sun on the comp.... Any insight is appreciated!
