It might be a 2015 product at this rate....
The Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q – a 27” 1400p 144Hz Monitor with G-SYNC

Did they mention the price?
Damnit, any word on gsync monitors from other manufacturer's? May as well play the long game now and see what everyone has to offer.

Very unlikely, the list of features this monitor has is *because* of the gsync controller tying it all together

There may just be something in May. A 24" model with 1920 x 1080 resolution. Can't say any more than that at the moment. Stay tuned.

Oooh my birthday is in may too!
My itch for a monitor has gotten that bad that if I get drunk I fear I'll buy that 24" 4k dell unit
Haha. And who knows if you'd regret it?
I suppose monitors are one particular piece of tech I don't get an itch to buy. I get sick of the sight of them sometimes.

Taken from ROG's Facebook page yesterday -

Just thinking will one gtx 780 ti handle it well if not it will be a expensive upgrade adding another gpu plus blocks and monitor

Some games on full max but not all. And certainly not on ULTRA in the years to come. I'm in the same boat... got my 780 GTX before I got my 1440p. Now to go SLI I need a new PSU too!

Might end up going AMD for this upgrade. Crossfire 290X seems to scale better and result in less frame variability going by recent benchmarks. The 780Ti SLI benchmarks are all over the place.

the whole point of gsync is that it renders frame variability a moot point, the 290X's would need to be 30-50% faster and less variable to be able to equal the experience of gsync, so we are told based on independent people that have seen it first hand

It doesn't make frame variability moot, it keeps that variance from causing frame skipping but can't stop a loss of smoothness. Reduces the impact would be fair.
Though I totally agree that its nuts to go for a gsync monitor and then switch to AMD.
