VRR just blew my mind when it came out, Once I experienced those first 120hz screens I needed that buttery smooth performance and without VRR any dips below 100fps felt woeful with stutter, once G-Sync arrived I could handle dips down to as low as 80fps without being too pissed off. Glad we now have freesync/adaptive-sync, so good.. Also annoys me that people focus so much on VRR stopping tearing.. come on.. Adaptive V-Sync did that, its the removal of stutter thats the game changer.

These high end monitors are only really useful for esports games that run fine on ancient hardware. Since then CRT tech has been my go to putting out a far superior gaming experience that can scale with pc power and type of game being played. The worlds first native multi display mode monitors.

Did the hardware really never change and they only did software updates over time to allow for things like DP 1.4? Cause if so... no wonder hardware GSYNC has a large cost penalty and requires active cooling. That's some seriously out-of-date hardware that can't be very efficient nor affordable (I'd imagine DDR3 and those old-ass 20nm chips aren't exactly mass produced these days?)

I'm a happy FreeSync user (NVIDIA GPU with an LG OLED TV). What am I missing out? It seems that G-SYNC's advantages are very niche. What are the use cases that would benefit from an "upgrade" to a G-SYNC setup?

[@40Sec]

Having a non-OLED monitor always benefits from an actual G-sync module. If you are just running a standard VRR monitor, you have to manually change the overdrive settings everytime you play something with a different framerate if you want to avoid blur and overshoot, and even then it's not ideal. With that said, it's not that it's a bad experience, and most people don't have the awareness of how overdrive influences their image, but when you do know what's going on, it's hard to ignore.

@@SpyderTracks Little nitpick: G-sync compatible is a certification for "AdaptiveSync". "FreeSync" is a brand from AMD for their VRR ecosystem. For example you could theoretically have a non freesync branded monitor that is certified "G-Sync compatible"

[@SpyderTracks]

@@hastesoldat well no, in some future land yes of course you could, but there are to date no gsync compatible monitors that aren’t freesync. But yes, if Intel came to the party and branded some monitors under their own VRR moniker, then those could become gsync compatible too if they reached the required bar. But word on the street is that intels days in the GPU space are done and battlemage is DOA. It’s not really a nitpick as highlighting something that doesn’t exist

[@disclaimer4211]

Damn if only Nvidia would work to remove the Highend expensive costs of their graphics cards too.

[@alejandrorojas-q6q]

What happens then with the OLEDs, they only come compatible with GSYNC and I don't see any with ublm2, why wait for new OLED monitors to come out?

[@qlum]

I really hope pulsar is not vendor locked to nvidia gpu's, after all asus solution did not required to talk to the gpu, and it can just hook into adaptive sync, but knowing NVIDIA I doubt it.

Just got my hands on a lg 32gs95ue. Any chance on a general windows guide HDR / HDR terminology guide. Had a real pain trying to get netflix 4k working too with the need to download hevc and still not ending up working.

[@demonwares]

You need hevc and plug the monitor using HDMI instead of display port.

Aha. So this is where the monitor reviews went. That chair looks comfortable - I could use a new throne.

[@napalmarsch]

is that an ROG SWIFT 360Hz PG259QNR in the video?

[@stevenwest1494]

I just can't trust Nvidia to be giving us anything for free or at a reduced price, when they're trying to command GPU makers to be exclusive to them so aggressively seeking a monopoly.

[@GFClocked]

i want oled pulsar. I have c1 with bfi and its insanely good, but being locked to 120 means i have to keep a lot of headroom in case i get a demanding scene. So often i could run maybe 200 fps avg but still only get 120fps min 1% low, having bfi+vrr would allow me to increase graphics and still get bfi benefits. Bfi is too good on oled and really unexplored on monitors as it is now.

MediaTek was a joke of a semiconductor manufacturing company but they exploded with the demand and now have some capable hardware.

[@heickelrrx]

I think the market simply produce less shit scaler, G-SYNC module was great back then, it wasn't perfect, but at least it drive today scaler to be good

[@RavTokomi]

Any word when this makes it way to 4k monitors?
