Why would he need a G-Sync monitor?
If you have a 144hz gsync monitor and you manually cap your global fps with rivatuner to 130 or something = you will get an absolute artifact free gameplay on everything. No tearing, no stutters, no input lag ever, regardless of your fps.

He said that he's getting over 144 FPS, so he isn't suffering from stuttering. And he didn't complain about input lag, nor tearing. His problem is blur. So I don't think he needs G-Sync.

Now, if it's still blurry with Lightboost ON, maybe it's because of ghosting. Maybe the overdrive is OFF?

ignoring the fact that fps capping by itself adds input lag, simply because the frames aren't updated as often. e.g. if you cap to 100fps, you get on average 5ms more lag than vsync off with infinite fps.
