Big news for Nvidia/LG 2019 C9/E9 OLED owners - G-sync is coming!

These have no G-Sync module so they are using adaptive sync. The good news is there should be no g-sync tax attached to them. They already have freesync so another decent step in the right direction for Nvidia to have g-sync running on TV's just took a bit longer for them to jump than I thought it would.

The whole gsync module thing was always a marketing ploy IMO
Certainly sounds like it.
It really wasn't and if you truly believe that it was then you do t really understand the technology at all.
Just because the software solution now works nearly as well as the hardware solution, doesn't make the hardware solution a marketing ploy. It just makes it almost obsolete, well certainly on its last legs anyway.
It wasn't. Before Pascal none of their cards could use adaptive sync, well apart from a few 980Tis.

Saw this earlier. This is the OLED TV I have on my radar. Just waiting for Black Friday or for the 2020 TV line up to come out for the price to drop and I will pull the trigger

Great news.
Only the very first itteration of G-Sync via Kepler absolutely needed the module, Maxwell laptops supported software G-Sync, the architecture was capable, if Nv absolutely needed discrete software suport back then, I doubt they would have pooped it.
Nv's software solution on my laptop works every bit as well as my 2 module panels.
The FreeSync panel I had before I went G-Sync also worked just as well.
At the end of the day-Nv denied 'proprietary'
FreeSync support for years.
Suppose you could always me back since I got pumped for modules on more than one occasion.

A hardware solution has a number of features that current adaptive sync implementations using firmware tweaked scalers can't do - proper adaptive variable overdrive, additional buffers for handling windowed modes, less latency in lower framerate recovery situations, etc.
Unfortunately Microsoft broke a load of those features with an update to WDDM/DWM in Windows 10
Adaptive Sync support doesn't depend on the Architecture of the card. It has nothing to with it. It depends on whether the card meets the display port 1.2a certification or not and supporting that needs hardware on the GPU side. Any laptop that has an embedded display port can be made to work with Adaptive sync without any sort of added hardware/module because of the embedded display port standards.

Is this the first time Nvidia have enabled it over HDMI?

Not just LG owners who could potentially benefit from this it seems!!!
''If you don’t own a LG TV, but do own a display or TV that only supports Variable Refresh Rates via HDMI, you can try enabling HDMI VRR when the aforementioned driver is released. As these displays and TVs haven’t yet been through our comprehensive validation process, we can’t guarantee VRR will work, or work without issue.''

Well aware the specifics on AS delivery.
All I'm saying is if Nv 'absolutely had to' support software AS, Maxwell onwards would have used display port 1.2a certification.
Which negates the need for a module, could have been done on board with Maxwell via -they deliberately choose not to support display port 1.2a, again if 'they had to due to competition', they would have.
TLDR-To be abundantly clear without any semantics, Nv milked the AS market with a module-years after it wasn't a requirement.

Nope, only a few late manufactured 980Ti's were able to use display port 1.2a. No other Maxwell cards had the hardware needed.

Do these support freesync?
Soldato
Not understanding what Iv'e been saying with'could have', so I'll leave it there.
You sound pretty clueless about Gsync, The hardware version with the module allows ULMB as well which argueably is just as good as sync. This is adaptive gsync not module gsync.

About time they enabled it over HDMI
