What would be great is if g-sync gets rid of the price premium to match adaptive sync standardization.

Wouldn't it be better if nvidia just supported the industry standard instead?

Watching Intel have competition is like watching a headless chicken trying to get out of a mine field

That would be ideal, but we all know nvidia is stubborn af.

Everyone who bought a 144hz 1440p monitor in the last few months is going to be mad right now  :P

 

Hey, I'm honestly not that mad. As much as a 4K monitor would be cool, I don't think my lowly 390x could cope with it in 3d and 2d scaling isn't good enough in Windows IMO to justify it for 2d desktop use.

One guy said his dual Titan-Xs are waiting and another mentioned Pascal. That's cool but this is a FreeSync monitor, not G-Sync.

 

What is your point? They are waiting for 4K 144Hz monitor which is exactly what this monitor is.

I will most probably buy 34' 75Hz FreeSync monitor as well, even though I own Nvidia GPU. I don't care about FreeSync or Gsync, I just need higher than 60Hz monitor.

They probably will in the future, when all of the features offered by Gsync are achievable using VESA standard.

What exactly is it that Adaptive Sync cannot do yet? The frame multiplication under 30hz is achievable via drivers, and should result in less latency than having a monitor do it via a second/third/fourth buffer in the entire graphics pipeline.

 

Now that Adpative Sync has been achieved on HDMI, I can only hope that more monitors, and even better, TV's! will support it. When that happens, NVidia can either support it or be left in the dust. If they choose to support it on TV's/HDMI, they really have no argument to not do it on DisplayPort.

Most likely "Coming in just 7-10 months"! Like every ASUS monitor ever announced at CES

I'm guessing the connector is a thunderbolt 3. It could be DisplayPort 1.3 but it doesn't support 4K at 144hz, only 120hz, so thunderbolt 3 is more likely. Of course I am only speculating.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
