ASUS 4K 60Hz IPS G-Sync ROG Swift Monitor

[JR23]

I mean... will Gsync act just like Vsync once reached the refresh cap or will it allow to avoid tearing, locking the max amount of fps generated by the GPU to 60 and syncing the frames perfectly?

If you've been a good boy and watched all of TTL's videos then set some time aside to give these a watch, you will catch on much faster than trying to explain post by post. To simply answer your question G-Sync will behave like Adaptive-Sync except the monitor refresh rate will follow the card up until the point where it can't then it behaves like V-Sync. Tearing should never become an issue and frame lag should always be less than or equal to that of V-Sync.

It's of most distinct advantage when your GPU setup can't keep up with the monitor hence why it's only typically found on high-spec monitors. If your graphics setup can smash out 4k at 60fps then it doesn't really help but being realistic I don't think we've reached that point in GPU's yet.

That's what I was asking for, thank you

I'm sorry, I've never got really interested in g-sync and freesync until now, since they are actually going to be released many monitors with these technologies.

Free/G Sync only work from 30-144FPS currently. Anything below the monitor disables it and displays every frame it can(creating multiple frames of same frame to make it 30 total frames). Anything above it will only display 144 frames. Don't know quite sure but i think it is not disabled, just all the extra frames are discarded and tearing will appear.

The extra frames back up just like with V-Sync, only whole frames are displayed and the panel won't be refreshed until the next interval so it won't tear. The input lag will be equal to V-Sync on. Also the lower value (30) varies depending on the monitor.

I understand that.. was just keeping it simple for him.

Yes whole frames are displayed but it still displays the same twice if it needs to. 30 varies but it would be smart to keep the whole range or at least try to keep it that way. It would be better because more people will probably have minimums near 30 than avg's near 120/144.

It doesn't reeeaaallly matter on a 144Hz panel. If the card was putting out anything less than 77fps it could show you the same frame twice and you wouldn't know. It's just a case of setting it up so it can be as responsive as possible to changes in fps while not introducing any extra input lag. nVidia has it sorted out so far but it's bound to be more complicated to optimise on panel with a smaller operating range. It's still going to give benefits either way.

I suppose it depends if we are discussing 1440p 144Hz or 4k 60Hz G-Sync. 4k will always have a tighter window of graphics setups for which it brings the most benefits. I think everyone aims for 30+ when setting up a game so they should be able to appreciate it over a standard 4k monitor. The question is still though, are we ready for 4k yet

This explains it pretty well.

Is this the right thread I wasn't aware we were discussing Free-Sync lol. Good that it has the option to be like G-Sync or not though. I wonder if nVidia will respond with a no V-Sync option for G-Sync when the limits are reached.

Sorry Neverbackdown mentioned freesync and I thought this was a different thread with the other adaptive sync ASUS panel lol.

 

[Agost]

40Hz minimum and 60Hz maximum on those panels sounds like a joke... I would have expected at least a minimum of 30Hz for 60 Hz panels. Well, not a problem for me now since I haven't enough money

I mean i wasn't the one who brought it up but what do you expect will happen whenever G-Sync is brought up?

Can you downscale and run it at 1440p at 144hz?

It would be nice if you could use 4k for desktop and 2k for gaming.

Or would it look terrible downscaled?

Doesn't work like that. Just because you lower the res doesn't mean you can jump huge amounts of refresh rates. You are limited by the Panel itself.
