does the hp omen x 4k model have g sync.

[ZeeGamer]

I was really looking forward to buy the hp omen x 4k model,but I heard someone say that it didn't have g sync only the 1080p had; I wanted to know before buying it, because I really prioritize graphics in gaming and I can't handle any screen tearing or stuttering.

If it doesn't have g sync, how is the 1080p, I really admire graphics in games(not much of a refresh rate guy), but I wanted to hear your thoughts on this- is it better to have a high refresh rate pc or high resolution pc, because I don't really think it matters if the game can reach more than 60 fps.

The 1080p 144Hz has a certified Gsync panel installed. The 4K panel will only do 60hz so Gsync would not be needed.

The graphics card would not be able to push the 4k screen at 144Hz anyway.

Ive had both, so if gaming is the goal, go for the 1080 144Hz panel.

If graphics is your business and you are doing a lot of media creation, then go with the 4k panel for the better color accuracy.

NOte that the i7 7700 gpu is not overclockable. The 7820HK is, but the heat issues are a problem and not worth the trouble. Is the extra speed of the 7820 worth the extra cost? You would have to decide that for yourself.

Hope that helps.

Well I really like graphics, but are you saying that the 4k model doesn't have G-sync or it is not needed, because I was hoping maybe I could overclock the monitor. I have a 1080p 120hz monitor and I don't think I really nedded a 144hz because 22 hz won't make a difference. I was also hoping to get a 7820hk(for OC).

I also wanted to ask you if having intel XMP on my ram would make a difference in the performance of games. I've heard that it has disasdvantages and that it's not worth having an overclockable ram if you already have an overclockable CPU and GPU, but I want to hear your thoughts on this.

Thank you.

The specs say the 1080p 144Hz monitor is a genuine Gsync supported monitor which has the Gsync chip setup in it.

The 4K monitor does not.  Why would you try to overclock the 4k monitor and if you could, add that much more work to the graphics card and overheat it? Graphics programs (Example: Adobe Photoshop) will not need anything over 60Hz refresh rate.

As far as overclocking a laptop, its over-rated and they are not setup to handle very much heat generated from all the stress on the system.

Many have talked about the heat issues from the 7820HQ when doing so. Check out the Reddit forums for examples.

Besides, the gain in what little overclocking you can get out of the system, does not equate to much of a change in gaming.

I dont know how the laptop will react with XPM ram. Remember HP systems have a locked down bios. You cannot change timings in it like you can a custom desktop. One step up in the memories MHz will not increase your FPS.

The Omen Command Center will let you do some CPU overclocking, not much. Another Expert on this forum claimed he had a better experience using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.

My opinion, if you need the extra speed that the 7820 gives by default over a 7700, then go with that. But Im not a fan of overclocking laptops. Especially HP's
