G-Sync Demo - I'm sold.

So I watched the Nvidia G-Sync Demo video that you can check out below but the most important thing is that you download it and play it in a video player to keep it at a constant 60fps.

I watched it and sure I'm sold BUT I'm an AMD user so I'll more than likely simply wait till DP 1.3 is out and benefit from that and FreeSync - using a variable refresh rate seems like it's going to be the future.

 

You can check out the demo here:

Downloading it... So how does a 60 fps video demonstrate g-sync for me again?

The reason why we get tearing is because a 60Hz monitor refreshes every 16ms right? But sometimes it can take longer than that or shorter than that for your GPU to render an image and you get tearing.

 

Everything's explained in the video pretty much xD so there's no need for me to explain.

No I meant like how a demo of g-sync in action could be shown on a fixed refresh rate. But if it really does look like that then holy balls I'm getting a g-sync monitor asap.

It pretty much shows you what it looks like when your monitor is perfectly in sync with your GPU (which is what V-Sync is supposed to do but because your GPU has to generally slow itself down to do this it lags a tiny bit and you get a bit of input lag hence why people hate it).

I agree. Variable refresh rate is the way of the future. 

Mhmm, them 4K 144Hz Freesync enabled IPS monitors. ... I can dream can't I?

Ill wait to next year to get another gpu. Nvidia will probably be at Volta by then.

Wow, my eyes came! :D Shut up and take my 280X!!! gimme dat G-Sync!

 

The best thing to do is probably to wait for the new Nvidia GPUs. Until then, AMD can come up with a good alternative AND there's a large vareity of G-Sync monitors on the market AND as said previously, new Nvidia GPUs are out.

who cares...
