Not sure where you get the "poopy old low res from"?
G-Sync will be supporting 120Hz+ 1440P as well as 1080P/IPS panels/4K screens.
Show me another screen that does 1440P on 120Hz or more natively

WILL BE, as in, like, not right now then, that you can go buy you mean? (which was the context in which I was replying to). Regardless, my 1440 does 120 native so it means very little to me, which was the other point I was making, in an off hand way.
It's ironic seeing the usual suspects jump into an AMD news thread with the "who cares" posts. "Ooh, it will be at least a year before they are available", forgetting it will take until Q2-Q3 this year before good quality G-Sync 120Hz monitors will be available at 2560x1440.
Right now you can purchase a G-Sync 1080p monitor for a meagre price increase of £160.
Asus 24" 1080p TN panel screen = £270
Now add G-Sync = £440
Each to their own I suppose but as Gibbo said, I would use the ~£160 to get another GPU or a faster single GPU. I play on a Dell U3011 IPS at 2560x1600 and with R9 290X (or GTX780 SLI) I was getting 80-130+ FPS in most of my games and tearing was not a major problem because the screen simply updated too fast to notice it.
When this new DP 1.2a specification is ratified monitors will come with it as STANDARD. No extra £160 cost because it has some Nvidia hardware installed.

They will be released in a matter of weeks, so that's near enough here already.

I particularly like the question, how do you know freesync will be as good as g-sync, well, how do you know g-sync will be as good as freesync?
Answer is, the people that have seen both say they both look impressive, I saw multiple people jump on Anandtech's comments as purposefully misquote them to say it wasn't as good which is absolutely NOT what Anandtech(nor any other website on it) said. The fud is pretty clear in terms of which side it comes from.
Most people have been saying it's nice but it probably won't be a huge deal at higher frame rates. As I pointed out again above, how many people have 144Hz screens, who can afford a massively more expensive version of them what under a year later.... who have such low end cards that gaming below 60hz is a huge problem, I would wager it's VERY few people to start with.
That's great, go buy one when they come out - I'm all set thanks. See? Just my opinion but I'm certainly not alone. Some will dive in and some won't - some like me don't see anything compelling just yet.
I should also add that IMHO the best development in monitors is the transition to 4K resolution. By the time this standard is ratified 4K monitors will have it as standard and will be far more affordable.
Now that is something worth looking forward too, not some cheap TN 1080p monitor with a £160 price hike.

I feel he was merely pointing out that G-Sync/Freesync is being accused of this that and the other but no one knows what is what. A few reviewers have seen what G-Sync can do, so we tend to listen to what they have to say.
OT, I see it costs $1000 a year to join SemiAccurate.... That is a lot of money to read CD's ramblings.

Specially when you can read them here for free 
Did you read what I wrote or did you just choose your words out of opinion of what you thought I wrote?
Steam hardware survey-~60% of gamers game on<1080p, where is the priority in 1080p monitors never mind Gsync/Freesync enabled ones.
1080p is the most used res, what is the 120Hz adoption rate in that number?
When over 60% game on less than 1080p, I fail to see mass adoption with the masses changing monitors for either Freesync/Gsync, it just isn't a priority for most.
This isn't anti Gsync/Freesync words, it's reality people, monitors aren't a high seller in comparison to graphics cards, the monitor section of oCuk isn't exactly high flowing with threads is it???

Good for you, but I tend to listen to those who have tested G-Sync and everything they have said about it so far has been very positive.
Is that the folks that make a living out of reporting tech hardware who depend on end users for their income?

I'd go back to a TN panel if it was a decent one. Surprised you've got IPS down there in the outback. Haven't you just had HL2 released.
Laugh
It's comments such as this which make me laugh. When your'e talking about high end components, it's like the most ironic thing you could possibly ever say IMO.

120hz monitor doesn't stop screen tear. Wish people would stop spreading this. It's a 100‰ fact to stop screen tear the display and gpu must be in sync with each other.
What a 120hz monitor does do is hides the effect of screen tear more than 60hz.
It's does not remove it, it's very much still there you just not noticing it.

^ Not only that but why do people also assume it's only really beneficial under the refresh rate...
Those with enough GPU grunt are probably dying to give this a go...tearing is in my experience far worse above the refresh rate, and triple buffering / V-Sync or for that matter adaptive V- Sync do not eradicate it by any stretch.

I have a 60Hz IPS 2560x1600 monitor and at ~80-120 FPS screen tear is not that noticeable because the screen updates too fast to notice it. If you are not noticing something then by definition it is not there. This is why I find it ironic that the people creaming themselves over G-Sync have GPUs that are so fast it will almost negate it's advantages.
Example.
This is how large the Andromeda Galaxy would look to us if we could see in Ultraviolet end of the specturm. In reality it is bigger than the moon but we don't see anything like this. To us it simply isn't there in this form.
