NVIDIA G-SYNC

[LaserBoss]

In the next couple of weeks Im planning on building an entirely new gaming/workstation pc with a new monitor. I have all the most up to date components along wiith release dates for the finishing components, The only thing missing from this is I dont know when there will be a retail date to buy a a 1080p G-SYNC monitor from an electronic retailer like newegg or amazon. Anybody know about when there will be a release, or have any contributing information about theeventual release of these monitors, and from which monitor manufacturer they will come from?

The 1440p one comes out next month, but IDK about 1080p. Wrong sub forum aswell.

I already know about the release of the ASUS ROG Swift coming out in july but is there any 1080p G-SYNC monitor that comes out sooner?

probably more cost effective to care about free sync, from what we know so far its superior, more widely spread ITS FREE meaning cheaper which is awesome as monitor prices can get crazy very quickly.

I saw the headline and got excited.

The VG248QE already has a G-Sync model/compatible model. Apparently stock is due in tomorrow here in the UK.

Wrong forum area dude. Please re-do the post in the build section instead.

You obviously only read the first half of the OP's post.

"From what we know so far it's superior" yeah you just made that up. If you have an nvidia GPU get G-sync, if you have an AMD GPU get adaptive-sync, as g-sync only works with nvidia and adaptive-sync only works with AMD.

By superior i mean its cheaper, its free in fact that you just need display port, that if amd wanted to then they could allow nvidia to use it as long as they have a gpu with displayport 1.2. Simply the fact that nvidia would make a company pay is what makes it a no brainer, dont try to make me out a as a fanboy, this is just the hard facts free shit beats payed shit espeically when they do the same stuff and when the free solution doesnt require physical hardware which is an extra cost, also freesync can be put on laptops on tablets, if we go extreme then even phones. nvidia started a great technology but its impossible to beat a technology which is free.

Won't be surprised if Nvidia cards can do both, and I'm curious if there's any real technical limitation stopping AMD from being able to run G-Sync monitors.
