To get the full benefit of the ROG Swift PB278Q you would need an Nvidia card to utilize gsync. You can still benefit from the 144hz refresh rate and the thin bezel and 1ms gtg etc but you will have to use a variable refreshrate setting and can still suffer from stuttering and tearing.

We are NOT talking about the same monitor.

A 7970 will run almost every game at WQHD resolutions in high quality just fine. The 280X is still a fast card.
