** ACER G-SYNC SHOWCASE VIDEO!! **

Gregster said:
I think it was more about emphasising what gamers get and they done it in a way that stands out.

This video gives a fantastic description of how G-Sync works and gives a fairer descrition.


The problem is watching at 30fps and not in real life. The guys who have seen G-Sync in real life have been wowed by it.

That was ace Gregster. Good job you found that video.

Even my current 120hz monitor looks awful when TESO hits 40-50 fps at Cyrodiil when 150 people are on the same area blasting each other apart.

(At 80fps+ looks ace though).

If the Acer 4K comes without dead pixels (crossing fingers) going to be the best money spend ever on a monitor. And ofc if works as advertised, Nvidia will continue having me as a customer for the years to come also.
 
:)

As I love 4K and have used the Samsung U28D590, I can really see why there will be a big benefit of G-Sync in the lower frames and with everything maxed, even on a pair of SLI Titans, games like Crysis 3/Tomb Raider/BF4 and many other new releases (looking at you The Witcher 3/GTA V), will have a massive benefit of running G-Sync.

Hate to put a damper on it but if it uses the same panel as the AOC, etc. and Acer haven't put more work into ironing out some teething issues it might be somewhat of a mixed experience - g-sync and the image quality should be great - like really great for a TN, naff overdrive, signal issues and varied issues with the electronics another matter :| since actually solving the laggy feel on my AOC at 4K I've started getting the display timeout issues other people have been getting :| there is some really **** internal power saving system that causes way too many issues.
 
I hope it is the same as the Samsung and issue free. I can honestly say that it didn't once have a single issue. I hope this Acer mimics the Samsung in every way except with the addition of G-Sync and a decent stand (although I will wall mount it).
 
I probably should have gone for the samsung :| they've always been good to me in the past, but I wanted a few features like the VESA mount points, etc.

And I would have gone for the Asus or AOC to get the VESA mount in truth. Maybe it is firmware or even drivers being the issue and even in some instances, a silly thing like an SLI bridge was the culprit for Bemaniac.
 
Definitely seems to be some firmware level issues to me, but sadly for monitors its extremely rare to see updates or for the end user to even be able to apply them.

That video is such a crock of *****

I don't have Gsync and my games don't look like that at all, nothing that blurry, nothing that stuttery or teary. Talk about PR BS! I mean hell was it running at 10fps or something?

It is supposed to representative, not literal

You cant demo gsync on a non-gsync monitor (just like you cant demo 4k on a non4k), so all they can do is exagerate the nongsync to then show a comparative of gsync (like the pixelated images they show with a "1080p" label next to a no-pixelated image for 4k)... no one posts up "oh my god what a crock, my 1080p monitor isnt all pixelated like that" because people understand it is comparative, not literal

A lot of it is to do with being content with what you already have and what you haven't seen.

I used to game perfectly on a 60hz monitor and before buying a 144hz one I thought can it really be that much better?

I suspect it will be the same sort of thing with GSYNC, until you actually use it you won't believe it to be of much use.
 
I still think its silly having this work only with NVidia cards. I know AMD will have freesync but surely your going to lose out on a lot of sales for these monitors for the people who arn't running NVidia.

The monitors will work for AMD cards, the GSYNC module not.
And is exactly the same with eg PhysX, Mantle. It will work for one card, but not the other.

And is a smart move from Nvidia. Other than any new "believers", with gsync is going to retain as customer everyone like myself who is going to invest on a good gsync monitor. Because next gen gpus I am going to buy an Nvidia, regardless of what AMD going offer, because of it. And it will be like that straight for the next 3-4 years, until the monitor might need replacement. (doubt).

Gsync was developed by nvidia, the monitor makers are co-manufacturing with nvidia in effect, much like AIB's make graphics cards using nvidia chips, so saying they will be losing sales is like saying that gigabyte or asus will be losing sales making GTX cards, which is obviously not true, they get extra sales by having gsync in their repetoir along side non-gsync models

There are lots of models of this 4k panel around so obviously having gsync is a big plus for nvidia users (and nvidia having 65% market share in add in cards to boot)
 
heluu

first post ever on this forum :)
anyways i may be a bit derpy but i don't fully understand g sync, is there like a FPS range in which the g sync will really work? wait i worded that pretty bad, what i mean is like will g sync only work on this monitor if the game is at 30-144 FPS (just an example)

thanks in advance
 
According to reports Crysis 3 benefits massively when FPS drops to the 30s, compared to without gsync. But yes there is a range you have to stay within, I believe people use a frame limiter to achieve this.
