Acer 200Hz Ultrawide curved non-TN G-Sync monitor - Makes baccon too

[HeathCliff]

Acer has a 100hz G-sync panel. This is guaranteed  to be the same panel.

 

We may have been referring to different monitors, but the one I was talking about will be the one Asus is directly challenging:

 

[GoodBytes]

So @GoodBytes... I couldn't find any part about it making baccon. Did you made that up? There are some lines one shouldn't cross.

The bacon is a lie. Because I am an: Evil Villain In Lemon! EVIL!!!!!

I'm an idiot and am indeed talking about a different monitor

 

acer still has one of these tho i think

[Notional]

Sounds like an AU Optronics panel. Too bad it's proprietary Gsync, and requires a GPU that cannot do DX12 async compute/shaders. Oh well. Good luck getting 200fps.

If I could I'd down vote you.

Do want.

Outside of the 1080p issue (which is a game breaker for me personally)

This looks nice.

1440p ultrwide is perfectly easy for a single 980ti to drive in the 50-70 fps mark perfect for g-sync.

Xr34 can't come soon enough.

But btw VA panels are pretty baller (massive step up from TN in color and between TN and IPS in literally everything else).

[BobbyG2]

VA > IPS for gaming IMO. I'd rather have the better contrast than the better color accuracy.

When they come out with a VA 1440p UW 75+hz free/gsync monitor I'm sold, this one of too low pixel density.

[GoodBytes]

VA > IPS for gaming IMO. I'd rather have the better contrast than the better color accuracy.

Spend more on an IPS and get both.

[Linus_torvalds]

Fuck You Nvidia! if it was not Gsync ready but it was Freesync ready it would cost 1000$

[kainobean]

came here thinking we finaly got a montior that makes bacon for those long gaming sessions..... was very disapointed it didnt make bacon v.v

[Swndlr]

 This is fucking sweet :wub:

Especially for those who have been dying for ultrawide but cant drive 3440X1440p comfortable on their current hardware

I will definitely be looking into this.

[Mooshi]

For that price tag, I'd like the thing to be made of logo-free brushed aluminum. It was cool at first to see black and red after the phase of LET'S ADD BLUE LEDS TO EVERYTHING ended, but now that gamer look is starting to look tacky.

[RagnarokDel]

That's just a rebrand of the acer  one. I don't care if it's not freesync, 290x for life

 

Our eyes don't see in FPS. Quit trying to quantify organic things inorganically

He wasnt quantifying our eyes framerate but our eyes ability to detect the difference which is absolutely fine. Now, is that true? I dont know, but there's a physical limit at which you would not be able to notice it anymore.

[bcredeur97]

2560 x 1080 = waste of money.

[That Norwegian Guy]

its cheap.

 

Nothing with a $175 G-Sync scaler in it is cheap. It is by default $175 more expensive than it should be.

Um,  keyword word is DETECT. 

 

My eyes don't see 30fps,  they detect 30fps. My eyes can detect 60fps or 144fps.

[xboxonthego3]

Far too expensive for just a 2560 x 1080p monitor..

[Nineshadow]

Your eyes don't detect 60 fps for that matter.

Your brain does .

[GoldSrc]

Also i thought 144hz was about the max perceivable difference so why over clock it and risk it dying sooner?

You know this things get tested before they go out in the wild, right?

 

Not exactly.

Hell, our eyes theoretically can detect up to around 250fps

 

Your eyes could notice a flash of light that lasts 1/1000 and probably 1/2000 of a second.

You can't put a limit in FPS to the human eye since the eye relies on chemical processes to do their eye thing.

[TheConverter]

You'd be waiting for a while seeing how not even 4 980ti can get anywhere near that on anything other than cs:go and other crappy looking old games

 

Battlefield 4 at Ultra settings is "crappy old game" ?

 

I can name a bunch of games that you can play at 4K 144hz and don't look crappy.

[Doobeedoo]

Good to see refresh rate going higher.
Would really wan't to test this.

[JAKEBAB]

Yes and the lifespan difference is probably going to be minimal but i still don't understand why overclock when 144hz is all we see, like i understand if it was native 200hz but they went out of there way to overclock it like wtf? 

[TroubleKlef]

hahahaha. fuken plebs with their slideshow 144hz. /s
