G-Sync Funk Yo!

So to anyone that has, or currently uses a G-Sync monitor what are your opinions on it? Are they worth the money? How do they perform? Discuss!

Just ask my sig....

G-sync is awesome. I will never buy another monitor without G-Sync or some other form of adaptive sync.

On ROG Swift at 144hz, its a must-have.

Yes its awesome. I have the 1080P Acer 27in 144hz/G-Sync XB270H.

Yes it is a TN panel. I think the colors are great and the viewing angles are fine. I would not worry about it not being a IPS panel.

Yes its 1080P on a 27in display. It looks fine to me.

My single GTX970 is maxing out all games with fantastic frame rates. The image is butter smooth.

@BattleSpectre: I'm currently in the process of replacing my three Dell u2711s with three Rog Swift 27" monitors. When I got the first one I was still running AMD cards so I topped out at 120hz with no G-Sync. I've since replaced those with GTX 980 cards and the difference between G-Sync and no G-sync was pretty significant. It was especially noticable in Eve Dangerous, where the game runs north of 100FPS and I'm using a head tracking unit. The slightest movement of my head translated into smooth scrolling of the screen. It looks amazing.

@Videodogg: I just got the same monitor with a GTX970 as well. Do you have it set to 144hz refresh rate? My question is in game. If your refresh rate is set to 144hz but you are only getting say 80 fps, is gsync doing anything?

Or do I need to be hitting 144fps for gsync to work right?

Right now on most games I am using DSR to downsample from 1440p so my frames are mid 50s to 70s on most games.

I have a 4k monitor without Gsync.

I played on a gsync monitor and now I notice tons of screen tearing on mine. I didn't really notice before but going back to non-gsync monitor is rough.

My next upgrade will be AMD. Freesync monitor pricing looks to be a solid 200 dollars and below than the gsync monitors. Plus its open source, Nvidia can adopt it but its unlikely because they are trying to make money of propriety hardware.

From what people are saying, it might be awhile, because they don't want the ~600 dollar monitor to cannibalize the ROG 800 dollar monitor sales.

Its cheaper. They rather sell the expensive units.

There are people who don't care about the freesync/gsync and just want a 1440p/144hz display. Freesync will barely add any cost to a 1440p/144hz display.

Acer and ASUS have their freesync monitors underway. I just feel like they are going to try to ship out as much as gsync monitors as possible and time their release of their monitors with the r9 300 series.

I'll have the three Dells.... send them my way thanks.

@ankor77: i set my refresh rate to "highest available " on the Nvidia preferences. If available in game, set to 144 hz refresh rate. It does not matter what frame rates you are getting to benefit from G-Sync. Turn off all vsync options and enjoy.

nivida beat AMD to the punch with gsync and people probably won't care about freesync after green's marketing campaign. Such a shame.

Show off! :P

Also nice to hear all the positive feedback from everyone, G-Sync seems like the way to go.
