G-sync comes to Asus monitors in few weeks, but other brands will have it almost year later.

There is so little price difference, between 1080p Asus G-sync monitor and a regular 1080p monitor, this awesome deal with Nvidia propably make a huge profit to Asus.

ASUS has launched the G-Sync Lineup with the VG248QE, which you can get for only about $300. And That is 144Hz, so that makes it Awesome deal!
According to Nvidia, G-Sync will come to its other partners,, namely BenQ, Viewsonic and Philips in the Q3 of 2014.
Currently G-Sync will be card based but later ASUS will roll out monitors with integrated G-Sync chip set.
I think that we all are very interested to see what the impact this will have to gamers and to other guys, hopefully Asus will Release IPS versions.
Theoretically ASUS should have the clear advantage in Monitor sales, but, seriously we do not know.
G-sync
Basically G-sync is a chip in monitor which calculates your framerate (image below) and matches it with your fresfresh rate. Everyone who have kepler GPU (gtx 650 or above) and a G-sync monitor will be able to have G-sync and enjoy this smoothness. :)

No, because G-sync in a monitor is not a software update, new monitor is refresh with G-sync module inside it. :)

That's wrong. You can purchase the G-Sync kit separately and mod the monitor (ASUS VG248QE) yourself. All you need is approximately 30 minutes, a Philips screwdriver and the G-Sync module.

Yes you can.. Nvidia will be making a DIY upgrade kit..

Since it’s both a software and hardware update, it requires a new monitor – however Nvidia will also make ASUS VG248QE modification kits available (currently $175) for those who already own one with a GTX 600 or 700 series (Kepler-based) graphics card. ASUS will also have a G-Sync enabled gaming monitor available in Q1 2014 – so stay tuned!

They (ASUS) apparently helped develop the technology along with Nvidia according to SweClockers who was informed of this by Nvidia themselves.

Well I guess I'm never getting G-Sync.

 

Guess my U2312HM's are worthless now to Nvidia owners! Thank God I'm using AMD :P

News story I saw today they said exclusive to ASUS until Q3 of 2014

 

I feel like this is going backwards for this new technology. I wonder if some monitor brands that originally said they would be supporting g-sync mite change there mind.
