NVIDIA Shows-Off G-SYNC Technology on Starcraft at BlizzCon 2013 Read more at http://

Well here we go, one monitor I'm not going to spend any extra money on, since it's going to be useless for my gaming. On the other hand no big deal since I prefer not to use much even VSing

NVIDIA was showing off their brand-new G-SYNC technology this weekend at BlizzCon 2013. G-SYNC is a technology for gaming monitors to alleviate screen tearing and VSync input lag, and enhances the capabilities of existing monitor panels, resulting in the. In the past, NVIDIA has only featured G-SYNC running as a demo in Tomb Raider. At BlizzCon 2013, NVIDIA had G-SYNC set up on ASUS VG248QE monitors running Starcraft with a side-by-side a monitor that had V-Sync enabled on one and not the other. In person, you could definitely tell that the NVIDIA G-SYNC was making the real gameplay video smoother.

Why is it useless for your gaming? I'm not sure if they will come out with a kit for my monitor later on (an Asus VG278H), but if they do, I will get it.

I don't think it will work with a amd card
and like physx as long as it is proprietary I don't see it going anywhere
and i'm not going to hack the thing into a 1600p screen or down grade to a crap TN screen

It did make the game look better, but it wasn't as impressive as it will be in other instances since starcraft is frame capped (and thats per the Nvidia rep at the booth). Not sure why the didn't use wow to be honest, but that's who knows.

The pendulum demo was impressive though. Night and day. If it works the same way in most games, it truly is a game changer.

news delivered by fanboy...

Have some decency, some impartiality at least heinz...

[kromosto]

At least i believe that we should not include our opinions in the first post of the news section.

EDIT: Maybe not the opinions but some sharp ideas.

It has nothing to do with opinion, it's a fact that the G-SYNC is going to be useless for my gaming with AMD cards, therefore i sure am not going to pay any extra for a monitor that restricts me to buy cards only from one vendor.

Furthermore I wonder how are the monitors going to be marketed, is it going to be clearly advertized the G-Sync only works on Nvidia cards or is it going to be hidden in some small print.

[Tuvok-LuR-]

yeah, cause tearing is such an issue in RTS games : \

Instead of trash-talking the "adversaries" have you thought about pushing the other camp ( cough cough, AMD ) to work on their own "G-Sync" or perhaps push them towards supporting it ? ( all I see is an opening for an exchange between G-Sync & Mantle )...

It was not about trash talking, it's about facts. Do you really believe the vendors care about producing 2 kinds of monitors, one for Nvidia users and one for AMD users? I'm almost sure the monitor vendors are not doing this foe Nvidia for free, the main reason for the restriction.

As for Mantle it does not cost any extra money, beside that we don't know much about it, but if it's any good i wish Nvidia can also use it.

Strange you can only see trash talk in my post and don't care about my concerns?

[kromosto]

I am not what you are saying.

News is about gsynch event at blizzconn. So saying gsynch is not good at the first comment sounds not right for me. This is just my thoughts of course.

Can you please read again, I said it's not good for me, I sure have no idea how good it's for nvidia gaming so why would i say so.

Edit
Plus maybe the AMD cards do not need it as much. J/K LOL

Yet another thread down the toilet, in record time.

Why down the toilet, can you explain.

[PedantOne]

because of you Hainz, go to work, or got to live instead of AMD masturbation in all threads

[NEOAethyr]

Why down the toilet, can you explain.

No real need... ^^


Whatever.
I just wish asus would support more then one monitor, I'm assuming it's the 24in 1ms variant they're supporting.
24in is to small to justify spending a premium for these days in my mind.

If they had a addon board for my monitor for sale I'de buy it, the VG278HE.

Though the future is in 8/10 bit, 4k, multi viewing angle non glasses 3d.
Elimination flicker and other odds and ends is a job that needs to be done eventually.
Sooner the better, and maybe there will be a slight speed/latency benefit to it who knows...

If you don't care about certain types of technology like 3d for example then whatever, but for those of us that do this is something we might want.
Regardless, anyways, I think g-sync might be cool.

He read it just fine.

You're starting the news show saying "Ferrari is crap for me. In other news, Ferrari showed off their new sportscar in Milano...".

I haven't seen any news thread starting with such an "attitude" for another product/company in here, not even for that silly metal on metal rotating heatsink...

It's of no use to you ? Perhaps.
Perhaps not.
Unless you are a dedicated AMD Radeon guy and you won't be buying any nVIDIA cards at all, never ever.

It's a news thread, not your blog.
If you're so anxious to get your thoughts out leave it for another thread, or at least for the end, after the news quote.

A G-Sync monitor will work with an AMD card, only G-Sync won't be in effect.

That can change if AMD approaches nVIDIA and licenses G-Sync or whatever.
Perhaps if it proves profitable, AMD could/would/should come up with a similar product.

Both G-Sync and Mantle "cost" more than a plain monitor/non-Mantle game.
G-Sync costs you as a consumer on the monitor's price, Mantle costs on the developers for added programming time ( compared to a plain DX/OGL game ).

First please I did not talk about any crap, I just said the G-Sync is not good for me, the reason is it does not work on AMD cards. How many more times I need to explain it.

Now you say;

A G-Sync monitor will work with an AMD card, only G-Sync won't be in effect.

I said i don't want to pay premium prize for a monitor that support only one vendor, why should I. Would you if you can't use the option you pay extra money for? Maybe you're more generous than me.

About Ferrari anybody can buy it who can afford it and works the same for everybody. So there is not comparison.

And I already said what I think about Mantle, I mean the less proprietary function in the gaming we have the better and I'm not absolutely sure AMD started it.

HERE SHORT VIDEO

[NEOAethyr]

We'll just have to let the market decide .
You can shop around you know, there is more then one variant of the same 1ms 24in tn panel...
You don't have to buy one with that feature/pcb in it.
Get whatever you want, you decide.

But please stop with the fighting stuff.
Your opinion is noted, and it's understandable.
But it's not everyone's opinion, by saying it's useless to you is fine, all good, you honestly made your point already :\.

Amd fanboy or not I don't care lol.
Enough is enough.

My opinion, I don't care if it's proprietary or not.
If it works, then I'm cool with it.
Tech industry politics and history aside.
Sometimes proprietary sets the standard, ibm comes to mind in that respect and for good reason.

It's funny that we argue about these things, red or green, pick a side or don't, but show some respect, don't be so narrow minded.


And one more thing I wanna say now that I think about it.
Why not use vsync when you have any sort of flat panel?
I never had much luck when it came to tubes, but never had any issues with vsync on flat panels.
The speed issues attributed with it are minor in my opinion.
Quality over performance to a certain point you know...?

[Heinz68]

Thank you and I'm very very sorry, if somebody believes I started any fighting, I just thought there was a need to explain myself, since some people probably did not understand my broken English. And some replies I thought was actually best to ignore.

[M.Beier]

Woah, thats the worst composed news I've read on XS this year!
Im 100% wiyh benchzowner on this one

If you have a strong opinion on a particular piece of news it might be best to post the news and at the end of the post put a disclaimer (ps for example) stating your dislike/dissapointment for it. That way you don't come across as someone with a very biased agenda. Not having a go at you, just offering a little advice from someone who controls my opinion with every post.

As of yet we do not know what would stop AMD from accessing G-Sync, if it's a hardware or software limitation or just a matter of licensing it. I myself do not know so am not going to pass judgement against either company until I do.

[Luka_Aveiro]

This is a nice example of a thread derail.

Plus, its G-Sync FFS, not gsing or gsynch...

[fiskov]

Really interested in this, especially now people on team liquid have confirmed its "game changing".

But unless they confirm it for the 27" 144hz panel, theres just no way i can go back to 24", its disgusting.
