[xxx68]

Hello, have any of you tried both G-Sync and G-sync compatible screen ? Is gsync still somehow better experience or is it on par with g sync compatible ? I deciding between g sync acer predator xb271h and lg 27gl850 which is g sync compatible. thanks

If I remember correctly :

-G-sync monitors are certified by Nvidia and have the G-sync module built-in. Only works with Nvidia GPUs.

-G-sync compatible are basically freesync monitors with specs similar to G-sync but without the module, they work on both AMD and NVDIA GPUs.

yes. I wonder if there is some real difference while gaming - like smoothness, lag etc thanks

I have both and can't tell the difference but I play at 1440p 120hz, 1440p 144hz and 4k 60hz.

The 144hz monitor is a LG 32" with a G-sync module and my LG OLED TV is G-sync compatible.

 

Both are better than my Freesync monitor with a Nvidia GPU but my GPU is capable of doing the frames at the refresh rate of the monitor so I rarely have an issue.
