The Point of G-SYNC?

[TheRuke]

 

Is G-SYNC more aimed to new gamers who are trying to get stable frames/no tearing? Because I'm fine with locking my frames at 60...

[miyabwah]

G-Sync doesn't lock your framerate, but eliminates tearing.

he says that you have your full FPS without the tearing

 

but locking is imo a better sollution if you get 60 FPS+ all the time

[ilikemacandpc]

I just want to see it in person. With V-sync and a gpu that can maintain framerates > 60fps, stuttering does not really bother me on a 60hz monitor.

 

I think price will be the main obstacle. I won't pay $400 for a 1080p TN panel with a high refresh rate if I can get a $150 IPS 1080p panel.

Well you have gotta find a balance and compremise somewhere don't you.

 

Well lets just say this read a review. Jk. http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/technology/g-sync/technology

G-Sync is now incomparison to anything else an advantage for Nvidia supported graphics cards and potential collaborative line with Philips, Asus, BenQ.

It allows easier transition from high frames of a constant 70FPS to when it drop to around 25FPS.

It eliminates Tearing, Stuttering and input lag.

 

Those who purchase a monitor with the highest refresh rate will have a better option when it comes to playing more intensive and graphically speaking parts of a game (campaign or online)

[wng_kingsley7]

When this technology has surpassed full 1080p which it should have been released at 2.5K resolution with maybe the TN panel at the unveiling. It'll become widely used when officially launched and the 12months to come after that. Hopefully IPS/PLS/VA will also be a optional choice of panels.

G-Sync : "GTFO tearing"

Yeah locking is just better all around because I'd like something stable as opposed to having large fluxes between 120FPS and 60FPS.

I wonder if AMD will come up with something like R-Sync...

AMD: 'here nvidia if you'd like to use mantle, its open source'

NVIDIA: 'we are to proud to do that'

[Freaky_spider]

AMD: we uhm, found the name, by umh, looking, umh at V-sync , and umh other companies naming shemes,'

Torvalds in the new Linux Kernel -> GTFO Nvidia .D +50& AMD +0% Nvidia, yay SteamOS ^^

 

 

On Topic:

 

G.Synch is a gimmick.

 

Linus is fangirling out in his video. It's gross, unprofessional and sad. He's probably chasing his wife and his employee with a roll of tape and the G.Synch module as we speak.

 

G.Synch will go away as quickly as 3D did.

 

Linus' prediction that G.Synch will be everywhere from TVs to Smartphones to what ever is not only uneducated but simply wrong. The general computer user has no need for G.Synch. And therefore no company is going to mass produce G.Synch TVs, Phones and Monitors as neither the consumer nor they themselves are eager to pay Nvidia fees.

 

Might be a fun technology, but Linus really overexagerates. Like hard.

 

Edit:

 

Slick's reaction says it all: "Ya... less tearing in that one room and.... ... ... "

Wow lol its G Sync for starters and it is not a gimmick its awesome it might not be in phones or tvs and linus never said it would be he said it could be get your facts straight and if u can honestly play with V-sync with the terrible input lag u deserve a medal! 

 

Its really funny how people still don't completely understand what this is. lol

THANK YOU @xrex64 doesn't get it.

He says Linus isn't biased on G-SYNC

[Nineshadow]

G-Sync is just a way to get harmony between the frames in the buffer and the monitor.It's just a cleaner way to do things.

Mantle boosts frames and you can lock it. Problem solved.

[juretrn]

What is this tearing you are talking about??? (I know what it's upposed to be, just never noticed anything like that)

Call me blind if you want. 

 

Also: NVIDIA you high? What have you guys have been smoking? People don't buy monitors anywhere near as often as GPUs. This will be a MASSIVE flop.

I said that before I saw his latest video... So... you can't really say I don't get it considering this is basically reactions to his latest video.

He was fangirling really hard at the Nvidia Expo thing where they tried it out for the first time and he had a section about it in the following WAN Show.

Same here. I tried explaining to @xrex64 but he said that you don't notice it until someone points it out to you.

Then better not ask anyone about it. Ever. No problem.

That isn't always true. In NFS Rivals, which has a locked frame rate(and I'm using Adaptive V-sync), I get terrible tearing.

Using normal v-sync for that game and it should fix the problem.

Locking framerate is useless if it introduces lag. Currently the issues is that the gpu isn't locked but the monitor is locked. You say locking both is the solution? No unlock both fixes the problem. Think of it this way. The goal is to synchronize the gpu and monitor (lock the monitor refresh rate to the gpu). By locking the gpu refresh rate there are only two framerates that you can sync at, 60fps and 30fps. So if your gpu drops below 60 you have to run at 30. Gsync allows you to sync your framerate at any framerate so why would you limit yourself to locking at only two framerates? On top of this vsync adds terrible input lag. This is the issue I can't get over. Linus says there is no lag input with gsync but I am still skeptical about this.
