External g-sync modules?

[CAT]

could it be possible to have a dac-like looking doodad on your desk or attached vesa mount style to your monitor and it has a power, display port in and display port out. so pretty much it can take a non g-sync monitor, and make it g-sync by overriding the internal monitor display controller or something. i would shit my bricks if the managed to do this, you might need a special certificate or something that lets the internal display controller be overridden by the external g-sync doodad but it would be so cool.

thoughts?

Not really as it most display standards could not do that. Also, changing the standards on ALL forms of video interfaces would be impractical and costly

I don't think this is possible, and definitely not without something made for it.

 

Nvidia or the monitor makers would never do something like this though, they want you to buy the whole thing.

The point of the module is to bypass some of the normal processing and scaling that LCDs do and replace it with some specially designed circuitry that nVidia has designed. It wouldnt work to have it plug into a G-Sync external box if its just going to plug into the back of the LCD and run through the same processors and scalars that caused some of the problems in the first place.

 

Though in a sense that is what that "kit" you can buy does for the ASUS 24in screen. You essentially bypass some of the built in circuitry and add in their chip so it works. Not external, but its about as close as you can get. Assuming they keep making them, and make them for your screen.

Not possible. The only way is to entirely replace the lcd controller with a g-sync one.
