Hands down the best explanation of refresh rate+ FPS and progressive scan I've ever heard.
Great explanation!
The problem that I have with G-Sync is that it is (as of today) FAR more expensive in combination with IPS and I just can't go with a TN panel. I don't really play that much FPS games and would always choose better image quality (no tearing) over performance (fps, stuttering). Of course don't having to make any of those compromises would be perfect and thus G-Sync is a great technology but right now it comes either with a hefty price tag or worse image quality.
The dream would be a 34" Ultrawide monitor with gsync 144hz and IPS that doesn't cost as much as my whole system.
Kevin S. The monitor LG 35UC79G have is 34inch,144hz,1ms but it doesn't have Gsync
Bảo Stormtrooper and 2560x1080 lmao
Acer Is making a 4K monitor with G-Sync, 120 HZ (Overclockable to 165) and IPS. However, its 4ms and costs about $1800.

It does look very nice though.
Best explanation yet for this, absolutely spot on. You also seemed to just be thinking the sentences up as you went rather than having it scripted, so kudos to you! Subbed :)
Thank's for the review! 3 years have passed and prices are a bit better now. I am going to buy one with G-Sync I belive now.
I must add that your presentation is excellent , clear and concise and you speak loud and clear which I appreciate as my hearing has deteriorated overtime
Great explanation. I've read a bunch on Gsync lately and this was the best run down
Great Explanation, thank you. Had a few misconceptions about Gsync until this video.
I would trust this man's explanation because he can explain technical subjects without hiding behind jargon.
If I could award him TH-cam Gold, I would do it.
exellent. been doing research for ages. this video was perfectly explained. Thanks
Exactly what i was looking for, thanks a lot for your time.
great video. i've been trying to explain this and some people say they don't get tearing with vsync off and no stutter with it on. Well maybe they don't know what a perfect scenario is. I bought the pg279q and it's amazing. No stutter and no screen tear. It's the best investment I made in a long time. It was expensive but now I enjoy games even more.
Well spoken, however it'd be better if you showed examples. Perhaps run the settings necessary to show the problems & how they are solved.
damm you changed a lot
Thanks PC Centric.Very easy to watch will be a regular of your channel. I am sold and getting one as a result. Quick question, do you think in FPS games such as bf4, hardline, cs:go and such that its unfair to have a 1440/g-synch monitor if 1080 with no synch what so ever is the norm? Of course its ones perogative, I'm struggling to come to grips with the sportsmanship side of having overly capable hardware. Being global elite on cs:go would be great, but would one perform on lan on a 1080p monitor afterwards at a comp? =)
It depends on the scenario, but I'd rather play at 70fps 1080p than 45fps at QHD. In fps anyway. I'm sold on G-SYNC, and is the best option until free sync catches up.
+PC Centric Hi dude.. Can you please do a G-sync vs FreeSync comparison video??
Adeptwa
Im late as fuck, but in the end, a £500 system will be enough for a pro csgo player to get what he or she needs to play stable and well. Yes 144hz and mx speed keys will help them, but if you are good at a game, it wont drag you down... Its just a not as nice experience
Thank you for giving a clean and factual description on what this was and helping me come to a decision on a purchase. Sub'd and Liked.
Great review. You are very clear in your explanation and have a solid command of language. Never seen one of your videos before, but I just added you as a subscription.
Nice transition to the next camera (4:41)
xD
This kiddo sure is smart and can affort 2 cameras. Nice.
i've watched so many videos on Gsync and this is by far the best one
Great video. However some additonal things.
V-sync is queit bad today as you should cap it through games "FPS CAP" to your monitor HZ or use programs like Afterburner to cap it instead of using V-sync to avoid stutter and G-sync is freaking expensive today and i can't make my mind up if i wanna run 4K or G-sync, 144Hz 60HZ or whatever... choices, choices.
For Videographer like me, I recommend having an adaptive sync monitors as working on 24fps with 60hz looks terrible with micro stutter because the lack of refresh sync...
Thank you, I currently just bought a g-sync monitor. Its the omen 27 inch and I was wondering what it does and this really helps. Thanks!
Oh wow, this was wonderfully helpful, thanks mate.
Well spoken, concise, and informative
Great video mate, has been very informational! Shows that you've done your research.
For people without gsync. You can have vsync ON and smooth gameplay without any stutters - all you need to do is to benchmark your game with settings that will give you no less than minimum fps of your monitor refresh rate - you need to benchmark with vsync OFF for that time.
EXAMPLE: On 60hz display if you get max frames: 94 min frames: 71 - then vsync ON and you can play smooth 60fps with no stutters. If your min frames will be like 59 or lower you'll get stutters.
Wouldn't G-Sync also benefit movies? By a 60Hz monitor changing itself to 24Hz or 48Hz to view 24fps movies without 3:2 pulldown, allowing for perfectly smooth playback?
According to Nvidia - yes.
PIXELFLUX
Nice. source?
no, it doesn't benefit movies. they're easy to run consistently.-
awesome video man. im updating my tech brain on todays monitors as i am in the market. been playing on a 47'' tv and even thoe the colors r nice, i cant help but notice the terrible response time even if it is in game mode. your video helped alot in making a decision. thank you
Gsync is just Nshitia's coverup move to avoid the REAL issue with ALL modern computers and their graphics issues. I have been trying to diagnose the 60+ fps stutter on modern computers for over 5 years now and I FINALLY found something of concern. The answer lies in the game "Star Wars Battlefront" in battlefront I have the ability to look at the frame times being output by the GPU, and low and behold at a solid 60fps the frame time is CONSTANTLY scrolling from 16.00ms all the way up to 17.00ms NON STOP even at 100% consistant frame rate by 0.01ms at a time, once the frame time hits 17ms it does a giant dive all the way back down to 16.00ms, Don't forget at 60fps and 60hz on your monitor is expecting EXACTLY 16.66ms frame time at 60 fps output, NOT just 16.xx-17.xx frame times. I'm 100% certain this is the issue with 99%+ modern computers, Now that we actually have numbers corresponding to these stutters there is hope!! Here's an example of what you should see; 60fps @ 60hz = 16.66ms frame time. If there is 10 frames being drawn at 60fps for all 10 frames (no deviation) then the frame time should be 16.66ms on ALL 10 frames too. But it's not. Here's what the frame times for 10 frames in a row should look like at 60fps @ 60hz.(Frame #1 = 16.66ms, Frame #2 = 16.66ms, Frame #3 = 16.66ms, Frame #4 = 16.66ms, Frame #5 = 16.66ms. Over and over again up to 10 should ALL have frame times of 16.66ms) Here's an example of what you actually are seeing; 60fps @ 60hz = 16.xx-17.xx frame time. Let's say for example we have 10 frames being drawn at 60fps for all 10 frames again (no deviation) On frame #1 you will get a frame time of something like 16.20ms then on frame #2 you will get a frame time of something like 16.21ms, Frame #3 will be something like 16.22ms. It does this all the way up by 0.01ms at a time until it reaches 17.00ms, then once it hits 17.00ms it resets back down to 16.00ms to start the entire process over again, So the next frame would be 16.01ms, 16.02ms after that ect ect ect until 17.00ms again then reset.This happens at such a fast pace that it's hard to notice on SOME computers, But on SUPER FAST HIGH END computers this is EXTREMELY noticeable. Every time a frame is drawn with +0.01ms frame time will result in "microstutter" And everytime the Frame drops from 17.00 to 16.00ms will be seen by your eyes as "stutters" at 60hz your monitor is expecting a frame every 16.66ms NO IFS AND OR BUTS, and if 1 frame is at 17.00ms and the next one comes out at 16.00ms this causes a 15% deviation in frame output from what your monitor was expecting. Nvidias bullshit fix is gsync, so when this 15% drop in frame time happens the monitor drops with it. So gsync although might look a lot better giving you those "missing" frames when the frame time drops from 17.00ms to 16.00ms this drop is STILL actually happening whethere you have gsync or not and it STILL happening even if it's "masked" by gsync.
wow thats actually really interesting
So you discovered something amazing? Would help if you didn't ramble about it a book-long sentence. You know, kind of like a tinfoil-hat conspiracy idiot.
Great info, ty. In my opinion, 144hz gaming requires G-sync for veteran gamers. New gamers wont know what they're missing. The problem is, however, that you said "the problem is" about 88 times during the video.
Learnt a lot mate - keep up the good work.
Great video. Very informative. Please do something about the white noise in the background.
Need something to entertain the viewers. I dunno maybe some scenes of in-game performance with G-Sync enabled and disabled. But overall you're just awesome.
I have G-Sync w/GTX980Min in my MSI laptop. Love it
young ignis from ffxv?
I have the viewsonic XG2703GS and compare to my old vg278h, I have much less details about the FPS games by far, the resolution 2k and blur and Gsync + ips = input lag visible during the shoot. Conclusion: technology too expensive, to lose in reactivity and details on FPS games.
GSync = input lag , Gsync + V-Sync= input lag reduced. ( Tested by Linus )
Gsync also incorporates adaptive voltage that removes all ghosting and Freesync does not have any adaptive voltage they leave that up to the panel makers and we are seeing bad ghosting.
Thanks. My primary concern is input lag. I'm having a hard time getting straightforward info on how G-sync affects input lag.
Maximum pre-rendering frames set to 1. V-sync with much less input lag, learn it, use it, love it.
The input lag from vsync while playing csgo is noticeable. The input lag means that the monitor is behind what the computer has processed: you move the mouse and there is a fraction of a second where it does not move and after you stop moving it keeps going for a bit, similar to using a wireless mouse. I have vsync off, and take the tearing as it is not too noticeable (maybe I am just used to it) and gsync would be useless to me for csgo as I never drop below 250fps. Nice video though.
6:40 its not a g-sync problem this happens because of how the game is coded. Game engines have there own time management and rendering and they are trying to work in a way that monitors work, or rather the old monitors. this is why some games will look a bit odd.
Why is g sync not required for doing other activities than video games? Fox example watching movies or youtube videos at 30 or 60fps you dont see tearing at all
manta Vince G-Sync is used to get ‘Better Frames’ when the graphics card is rendering video games. Whereas when you are watching a movie the graphics card doesn’t struggle to keep up with the monitor because it doesn’t require instantaneous reactions
Great explanation just bought a g-sync monitor :D with 144Hz today
should i activate v-sync when playing games on my g-sync monitor?
Nope, let g-sync do its thing.
AMD has the same thing, except they call it Freesync, and they dont charge vendors up the ass to use it; so freesync is cheaper to get.
which he mentioned
samljer but amd gpus suck
amd gpus look terrible and they are bad
@@Julian-re1hf tell me with a straight face a 580 is bad

Great Vid! Thanks for explaining! My question is, is G sync important if i want to use a monitor for console gaming, say PS4? Since you only mention on PC games.
+Alex Curiel G-Sync requires a Display Port (not HDMI or DVI). Most Gsync monitors only come with a Display Port, but some do come with HDMI (Such as BenQ's G-Sync monitor) so you can switch between them.
Hey @pc centric, if you can answer me. I have a 60hz shit monitor with a 1080ti... Yeah... I want to know if I should buy a 240hz monitor without gsync or a 144hz monitor with gsync. The main game i play is Overwatch and i get so much screen tearing, i want to get sweet and smooth clear images and not get those artifactes while turning the camera to fast (ghosting). Now I get over 250fps in OW so in your opinion what is the best? 240hz or 144hz gsync?
Give it a try to G-Sync, just be realistic and adjust your in-game graphic settings so it won't drop under 30 FPS, run benchmarks and make sure your minimum FPS stay cool above 30.
simple question, will g-sync consume more GPU power? do i get less fps if I turn it on?
If anything the monitor should consume less power? Because it only refreshes as many times as its needed, if its 40 FPS it will only refresh 40 times, right?

pls help me
Nader AK g-sync 1080p!!!! im selling my 2560x1440p monitor for a g-sync 1080p monitor right now
wadsrradasdwafafs
I bought a 2560×1440p Gsync
Nader AK wow nice!What's g-sync like?Is it worth it??
wadsrradasdwafafs hi, it really is worth it because u can simply turn v-sync off and the game is muuuuuch smoother!
no lagg and this stuff anymore it looks just great!
What camera do you have? Video quality is amazing!
ugh it's just horrible to think about
Unfortunately, my display can't use G-Sync, which is a pity, because the frame hitching, etc. from Vsync is a little annoying sometimes.
Is it worth it - 9:13
Nice discussion and i got what i came for, but at least link the conclusion in the describiton mate :)
Basically in short (for those without G-Sync) can't hit 60fps: Disable Vsync, Keep hitting over 60fps: Enable VSync
V-Sync can run at 30 FPS as well.
v-sync by logic isnt even suppose to help performance in any way...
JDingoXD wait so what happens if v sync is off and you cap your framerate using rivatuner?
It's not true. If you can't hit 60fps and you disable Vsync you will still get tearing. Otherwise adaptive V-sync would be panacea, but it's not. G-sync eliminates stutters AND tearing. If you don't have G-sync, your only solutions is to hit 60fps no matter what, otherwise you will see distorsions.
very well done clear and simple no waffle respect!!!
Also I'd like to add, that if the game engine has any problems with stuttering or hitching G sync will not hide this.
Amen to that!
Games that i play that are Engine limited (when not limited by my GPU, CPU, or System RAM) stutter as well.
What G-Sync does is simply elimenate the Tearing, but cannot cure the ENGINE limitation/issues. Perfect example at the moment is COD Advanced Warfare with its recent patch on April 2, 2015.
Before the patch, i was having perfect nonstop 91FPS on all Multiplayer maps, even in the most intense firefights, it never dropped below 90-91FPS.
What was odd was before the patch, if my FPS was below 90FPS (even if I capped at say 88FPS), i would have alot of mouse and strafe stutter (for some reason, the game worked optimally smoothest at 90-91FPS constantly. Albeit, there seemed to be a slight sort of mouse and strafe stutter even at 91FPS constant).
Now with the April 2 patch, when i cap the game anywhere below 90FPS, the game is perfectly smooth (even if the FPS goes down due to full GPU utilization, the game is perfectly smooth). However, now i notice that i would at often times lose FPS during firefights (or even sometimes, just running around with no or 1 enemy in front of me), and the game would not look smooth at all, even with my G-Sync G2460PG monitor.
I confirmed that i am not GPU, CPU, nor System RAM limited in with FRAPS, MSI After Burner, and Windows Task Manager whenever i lost FPS for no good reason. This tells me that the game's own engine is limited, and stutter looks HORRIBLE.
***** I haven't played cod since the new update I shall take a look and report back.
Very good video man well done
I have a 144Hz monitor. Does that mean I get lags if my computer is not able to produce 144 fps in certain games? (I sadly have a freesync monitor but an Nvidia GPU, so no Gsync of Freesync active)
Great video. Do you happen to know if Alienware laptops, curent models, have g-sync ? I dont seem to be able to find anything out on their site.
With Gsync and Freesync now being more mainstream, is Adaptive Vsync still usable
in 2017? What are the requirements to run Adaptive Vsync, just the
display port and a fast monitor (and obviously a good card), or is there
more?
You explained it really well.
Thanks.
Great explanation thanks for the video! Makes sense!
I have a G-sync monitor and I can say it's very much worth the money.
Quick question. Do we enable or disable Vsync if we have a Gsync LCD? I tried disabling Vsync in game and I get the tearing?!
I have a question, could you have a 2 monitor setup with the main Monitor with G-Sync and the second Monitor without?
I know this video is old and someone had a similar comment below but I hope you'll answer. I am some what worried about whether or not I should focus on getting a 2k TN 144hz monitor compared to an IPS monitor with the same price and specs, but the TN panel has gsync and I'm wondering if it's really worth it to sacrifice the clarity and hyper viewing angles of an IPS compared to a TN?
Hey man, nice explanation of G-sync, i was wondering if G-sync would be useless with a super high end PC? For example if i play Overwatch at 144hz but my fps would never drop below 144fps or even like 300fps, would a G-sync monitor do anything? Like more smooth or anything ? Or does it only do anything for me if i drop below for example 144fps ?
Does anyone know this? :D
I think g-sync will still help a bit. Your frametimes also more in sync and your refresh rate also more in sync with the monitor. I had a qnix qx2710 @ 96hz and was super smooth untill I got gsync ok maybe it's because I went from 96hz to 165hz but also I have a way smoother experience. In project cars I get about 70-80fps when playing in heavy rain and even if my fps dips it's still very smooth. Even if you get consistent 144fps Gsync will still help as you do dip sometimes to 143.something and you monitor will be perfectly or near perfectly in sync with you gpu thus less stutter.
One thing the guy forgot to mention is tripple buffering. When you enable that or game devs have that in their games and you have vsync on as well your fps can vary anything between your refresh rate and lower but you still get massive stutter because your monitor, framerate and Graphics card is not in sync with each other thus g-sync helps out. I say if you have the chance to contact the shop so you can hook up your pc to it go for it or if they have a return policy for example you can test it for 7 days then go buy and test and if you see nothing wrong then return it straight away. I think you will be blown away with G-sync I know I was so far. Only been running the pg279q for 1 day so still have to test properly
Thanks for the reponse dude, i guess i have to test it out for my self :D
+Lillelund87 G-sync doesn't work above the max refresh rate of your monitor.
If you're *ALWAYS* at 144 FPS and above then, no, G-sync will not help you.
so if i don't have this g-sync and my fps is like 45 fps in my 60 hz.the only option to not have tearing is 30 fps? ..
Great Breakdown! A+
HERE AFTER THE FREESYNC ANNOUNCEMENT MY MONITOR IS SUPPORTED :DDD
Jew
@@somerandomguyonlineforsome7870 lol go back to 4chin
What happens if you have a 60hz g-sync monitor but your gpu's have the ability to run at 70-80fps? Do you then get stuttering because the monitor can't keep up or does the monitor cap the gpu's at 60fps?
for me its rly bad btw do you need vsync on throu the nvidia control panel to work with g-sync?
When playing competitively should i turn off G Sync because my gpu can hit a lot higher than my refresh needs? because i heard that G Sync on adds a small amount of input lag.
Q-Wouldn't it be much better to bue a better gpu than buying a monitor with g-sync?The way i see it ,more fps,smoother gameplay,rather the less fps with synced fps
Andrei Oprea If you have a 60hz monitor you'll be only seeing 60fps max. Why buy a gtx 1080 if you can only pump out 60fps
You're right, first buy the best gpu you can, then if you already have say a gtx 1080 then look for a g-sync monitor.
I have a 60hz monitor and I used v-sync for a while but recently changed as I realised that input lag was a thing. The reason why I used v-sync was I could handle my frames alternating so rapidly (such as 60-90 then to 60 -120) but I have now decided I would rather have my frames like that as long as I limit input lag. So my point is with a decent GPU you would have to deal with the alternating frame rate (or get used to input lag with v-sync) im saving up and buying a g-sync monitor asap.
So your'e going to notice it in g sync not because of "stutter" but if you drop to low frames? Cuz low fps is still low fps g sync or not. Is that what your'e saying?
+K Geo yes
Great Video thanks for the explanation !
Awesome video! I have to try one of those!
im new to pc gaming. i have a gtx 970 and the asus 144hz monitor 1ms response time. when playing bf4 i turn v sync off and put 1080p 60htz. i get 60fps on full screen and 90ish or over 120ish on window mode.do i need another monitor with g sync?
Is it pointless if u can display more frames than monitor can handle, so does that make g sync pointless?
No
I don't understand the 30 fps comment. If it's a steady 30 then wouldn't 60hz and gsync offer the same thing, and if it's 35 wouldn't gsync work better?
Kosaro If you are below 60fps why would you even care about syncing?
You sync in order to align GPU frames to monitor frames. Most mainstream monitors only have 60hZ.
Vsync allows for 60+ fps to prevent tearing but when it drops below 60 it adds stutter because it redraws a frame twice. If you have Vsync off and get 60+ then you will get tearing when the monitor shows 2 seperate frames. Gsync just eliminates the 60fps requirement and allows for anywhere down to 35+fps to still sync frames to the monitor with no stutter or tearing because the gsync module updates everytime the GPU shows a frame rather than the monitor waiting on the GPU to make a frame that lines up with the timing.
sniperlif3 I was asking about his comment where he said that playing at 33 fps is smoother at 60hz than with gsync, which doesn't make much sense.
It seems you've answered your own question. If below 60fps, gsync would look nicer since it prevents tearing that you would get on a 60hz with vsync off, and the stutter you would get with vsync on.
Also the refresh rate of gsync monitors is 30-144, so gsync comes into effect at 30+.
Kosaro
No no no. Gsync only helps if you are a person that uses vsync all the time. It helps by not needing to worry about your fps dipping below 60fps.
Also Gsync is only capable down to 30fps but there is no monitor able to use that yet. The lowest monitor i know of is 40fps made by benq and acer.
If you are going to make this much of a deal about it, you dont need any gsync or freesync. Both are just vsync with a fps range rather than one single number. Thats it nothing special.
sniperlif3 Sorry if this I'm drawling on, but I'm getting interested in this. I have a feeling I'm misunderstanding your points, so please let me know if I understand this correctly:
Although both vsync and gsync solve the same problem, they work completely differently and have little to do with each other:
vsync limits the speed of the gpu using the double-buffering system to exactly 60 fps (on a 60hz monitor), making sure each frame is complete (no tearing). Whenever fps drops below 60, it shows a frame twice and causes stutter. This method also adds input lad.
In gsync, the gpu is running at full speed, and instead of the gpu lining up to the monitor's needs, the monitor lines up to the gpu's needs. Assuming the framerate isn't higher than 144, the gsync monitor shows each complete frame the moment it receives it, and because of the dynamic refresh rate this means that there is never any tearing or repeating frames (stuttering). The lack of a buffer also means there is no input lag.
Not sure if you were implying this (don't think you were), but vsync would be redundant on a gsync monitor since it would cut the framerate down to 72 (or 36) if you dipped below 144.
Also, on a normal monitor tearing occurs whenever you are below your hz as well. Not sure if you were implying this.
About the 40hz min limit, you might be thinking of freesync. I'm pretty sure all gsync monitors can go down to 30

EDIT: Fixed link
do you think that nvidia should make more affordable g sync monitors 75hz and fast response time?
Is it already turned on g sync ? I always turn of v sync in game options for all games BF3 bf4 and csgo i want to make sure g sync is on how do i do that please
hey man i just bought the asus vg248qe. do you think i should exchange it for a gsync compatible monitor
i think it depends on the game and game engine as well sometimes games run better when vsync is off and its pretty smooth
Love how the majority claims that gsync completely eliminates stutter and input lag, when it definetly does not.
Zype Shifty ジコ u right it dont all the way
Do I really need gsync and freesync ?
Thought this was an Idubbz video for a second.
A question please. At the moment I play games on a 27" 4k/60 Hz monitor, and my system can handle 60 fps, more or less. I don't want to use smaller monitor. The only 27" g-sync 144 Hz monitor I can afford is only 1080p. Now with the money I would throw for this G-Sync, will I get any better gaming experience? I mean yes I will probably get 100+ fps on 1080p, and with G-Sync it would be a better fit, but by sacrificing 4k experience? Should I stay with my current monitor or getting a g-sync higher refresh rate but lower resolution?
It's a matter of taste. I'm one who puts more importance on efficiency, high fps, responsiveness, rather than bling eye candy at 4k. Other people are exactly opposed. So you're the best judge.
I had a 24 inch 1920x1200 60Hz monitor but wanted to upgrade. First i was looking at 2k resolutions, 27 inch at 144Hz. But after some consideration i opted for the same size, slightly lower resolution at 1920x1080 but at 240Hz and with Gsync.
After some testing i have to say that i'm not at all impressed by this Gsync feature. I can't see it at work. Most of my games never reach 240 fps so tearing isn't noticeable probably because of the fast refresh rate. I get the same image feeling with gsync on or off. I need to test some more but after trying this in CSGO, Deus Ex Mankind Divided and Assassin's Creed Odyssey, of which the later two had tearing if i were to play them on my 60Hz monitor without vsync activated. Now at 240Hz, vsync off, regardless of having Gsync on or off i have same smooth experience.
I guess everyone's experience will be different, but i think the almost 25% difference in cost for a monitor between Freesync and Gsync is not worth it if the monitor has a high refresh rate.
Great video mate, any idea what the cheapest available g-sync monitor is in the UK? Are there any in the £250 and below mark yet or is that wishful thinking at this stage?

great video. Look now I have kind of not bad gaming laptop GTX 1070 graphic card, but damn screen only 60 Hz.... Without V sync playing Battlefielf 1 mp on max specs at 120 fps.... What you can advise. What screen to buy with that kind of laptop ? worth it to buy screen on side laptop?
do monitors still come with gsync lost i have seen are discontinued?
How low can the variable refresh rate go on G-Sync displays?
Newbie here, do you just need a G sync monitor and a Nvidia graphics card to be able to have G sync? Or is there anything else?
Yes, you do need both, but honestly I don't think it's as valuable as having a nice graphics card + a 144hz gaming monitor like this one www.amazon.com/VG248QE-1920x1080-144Hz-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00B2HH7G0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=quotes07a-20&linkId=b353d38b2b60a8a7158373e8f501f927
I have the PG27A 4k gaming monitor with G-Sync... the thing only works well if V-Sync is also enabled, without v-sync my graphics cards will try running way too high for my monitors refresh rate (60hz) and i will have massive amounts of stutering
+Paul McLeod is this normal or should i be sending this over priced POS back?
Should I let Gsync be my deciding factor on getting a monitor with my Nvidia card? Problem I'm having is I want a 27" but the only BenQ gsync monitor is a 24" plus it's only 1080p and I was kinda wanting a 1440p. So I've been debating on forgoing gsync and getting the BenQ xl2730z but I've been worried that it's free sync. Can someone please help me out? I feel like I'm putting too much thought into this lol
i'm so confused i want to get a nvidia card but these monitors are expensive but should i get a free sync monitor so that i don't have to worry spending a extra £200 on a monitor
+Joe ‘JustAGamer’ Tiago G-Sync is specific for Nvidia graphics cards and freesync for AMD (now Radeon again). This basically means that if you want to buy an nvidia graphics card you MUST get a Gsync monitor in order to get all the benefits from adatipve framerate technology. If you want a freesync monitor on the other hand, to cut costs, you will have to buy an AMD graphics card that supports this technology. Looking for the specs online of particular graphics cards will tell you what resolution and adaptive framerate tech they support.
Hey champ i have a g sync monitor BenQ XL2720G - i always turn off sync in games options (think its called v sync) how do i know if my G sync is turned on when i play ?
Stephen Swallow if u go to the panel go to gsync then go back up to the word display it will be a option to have gsync display on
I'm an idiot.
Al Heimlich indeed
Thanks for the great explanation.
the Input lag is still noticeable , a bit to much on high twitch games sadly :(
