I have a random question for you guys: If my monitor is G-Sync Compatible will it work with both Nvidia and AMD GPU’s?

I just wish OCuk sold these so I can get fully rebuilding the rest of the rig now, I shant be going with the likes of a Rampage IV black edition again.......I had a year of driver / bios support & then it dropped off the radar https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/Workstation/Pro-WS-X570-ACE/

G-sync compatible monitors usually work with both.

Thanks for that. I use my 3080 with the g sync compatible monitor and it’s fine, no screen tearing or anything. That’s good to know for the future in case Nvidia has another GPU shortage and I can just choose amd
wow what a wait, hope you love it as much as I do! 3080's are beasts, took me two days to get the Asus rgb working! (tuf3080oc)as I have a Gigabyte B550 master mobo and corsair k65 keyboard, was running open rgb to run all rgb, but it was conflicting so uninstalled and gone back to icue, rgb fusion (Gigabyte) more background stuff running but decided 5900X can handle it.
don't think it will run with amd you would need freesnyc, but maybe wrong and stand to be corrected
just saw above posts! so delete

yeah It works with my 3080 fine no stuttering or tear, I think it works on AMD too since on Amazon and ASUS it says needs a RX 5000 series or RTX 2000 series or higher GPU to get 4K @ 144hz with DSC. My monitor is 4K 144Hz with G sync compatibledon't think it will run with amd you would need freesnyc, but maybe wrong and stand to be corrected
took me two days to get the Asus rgb working!
I'll be chucking any & all RGB in the bin, cannot stand it. I will however probably need to take an angle grinder to my case to get it in & move some drives ect.......Ive one of THOSE type rigs!
An ASUS card is compatible with RGB fusion?wow what a wait, hope you love it as much as I do! 3080's are beasts, took me two days to get the Asus rgb working!

I took your advice, partially out of impatience anyway, but thanks for all the efforts by OCUK to honour thousands of orders at a loss.
I've admired your graphs over the months, but I fear it's best you make alternative arrangements now. You'll move up a spot when I cancel my order at least
To all the people asking about MSRP cards - yes, they are obtainable as FE models in the Nvidia official drops (look on Telegram/Discord channels for alerts). You may need to go 3070 or 3090 for a greater chance or getting an order through. There's a few setup steps to do to ensure a rapid order as well, but very achievable as I got my 3090 on the second drop I saw. I didn't want to splurge that much as I had a 3080 TUF non-OC order since launch day, but decided life is too short to wait. I would definitely have preferred to have OC fulfil my order (but not at a loss to them), but this was the best option for me as I'm still 101 in the queue and it looks like there's a good chance it would never arrive.
It looks quite stunning, just wondering if I'm going to need to upgrade my CPU to handle 128 player matches! [8700K w/32GB 3200C14 RAM, oh and a 3090

Or sell only one per household like some competitors does. That will help games
hi, no I had to install Asus creator! but had to remove open rgb as it was stopping the Asus software from working! I don't have a lot of rgb just my keyboard and two fans and mobo, but to have everything working requires three bloody lots of rgb software corsair for keyboard, rgb fusion for the mobo and Asus creator for the 3080 although again rgb in minimum on the gfx card, up till now, open rgb was running it all, meaning I could uninstall all the other stuff! but open rgb doesn't seem to support Asus tuf 3080 as yet, maybe it will soon and if so I'll go back to it as it cuts down on all the other bloatware.

God that's a project, will be great when it's all together
Ah ok, Yh it’s annoying that brands require you to use their proprietary software for RGB, I have a gigabyte board so If I upgrade my GPU I’ll need a gigabyte card, wish they’d let other all brands use each other’s software to controlhi, no I had to install Asus creator! but had to remove open rgb as it was stopping the Asus software from working!

Damn
Sleeper builds rule..............there is nothing more satisfying than getting that braggy gobby m8 round who has a rig that looks like a Jean-michel Jarre concert lighting up the entire room & then just you know.....................Decimating any & all benchmark scores they can pull up into the stone age with a sly grin
ah 75th world wide...that was a wild night, I think ocuk got me one of the first 980's in the uk back in the day!
I did slap that score silly later & broke 14.4K....still 4th fastest on the oc firestrike bench page (#354 now i think)

For normal usage, the monitor will work with any card and will run at whatever refresh rate is set in the menu / driver regardless of what the graphics card is pushing out, which can cause screen tearing. (i.e. a 144Hz monitor will refresh at 144Hz even if the card is only putting out 70 fps)
G-Sync (NVidia) and Freesync (AMD) is a specific technology which aligns the monitor and card refresh rates to prevent screen tearing, but normally is only guaranteed to work with that manufacturers cards, though Freesync tends to be more cross compatible (i.e. will work on Nvidia cards as well as AMD)
