G-Sync Ultimate vs FreeSync Premium

[Hi P]

What's the difference? I'd like to believe that G-Sync would be better due to having an actual physical module in the monitors

 

But every time I look up this kind of question, the blogs come down to "It depends" or something similar...

 

What's the clear answer to this question?

You want a clear answer?

G-Sync overall is pointless nowadays and might aswell be dead.

"Ultimate" ist a pointless and basically meaningless certification. Just like FreeSync Premium. So it's best to see them as an added bonus, rather than something you base your buying decision on.

 

Why?

- Basic FreeSync nowadays offers everything that G-Sync, Ultimate and FreeSync Premium do.

- Using a physical G-Sync module comes with downsides, like the need for an active cooling fan, limited connectivity (still no HDMI 2.1 support) and obviously higher cost.

- 99% of all FreeSync monitors will work flawlessly with Nvidia's G-Sync VRR technology.
