G-Sync is Dead. VESA Adds Adaptive-Sync to DisplayPort Standard

OH the Cavalry has arrived...as old Greg would say..it's time to leave this thread...Have fun

Have fun picking up the toys thrown around the room.

the monitor and scaler makers would have had a much bigger say - adding adaptive sync is not a "no cost" option, the lower end scalers would all need a respin which for an ASIC is a considerable cost for no benefit to the vast majority of people

I dunno,AOC are launching a 144HZ Freesync 1920X1080P monitor for around £230,which is only £20 more than the Acer 144HZ one.

Plus the,AOC monitors have fully adjustable stands unlike the Acer:

Since,Intel is now supporting adaptive v-sync,I expect there will be economies of scale and if anything I expect the high refresh rate panels to be more the limitation in cost until we see £100 Freesync monitors.

Go and look back who actually started the trolling mate and derailed the thread. When you can't debate start posting troll cartoons.

Only a small point but intel is not now supporting Adaptive-Sync, they have said they will support it in a future CPU.

The prices will continue to come down, but bear in mind there I no need for this tech in an office screen, so there will always be cheaper non Variable refresh rate monitors.

People stand up for gsync, certain people flip out due to a perception of an anti AMD tone... hilarious.

I just can't really see people using an iGPU for "gaming" as being bothered about adaptive sync, nor high refresh, and I can't see monitor makers using an obviously more expensive adaptive sync controller in a low end 60hz 1080p monitor, so I'm not really sure where the economy of scale comes from

with the higher end gaming monitors they've managed to absorb all of the cost of the new controller, but with the ones you've linked to they've gone with a £20 increase, which is looking like on the lower end ones they can't just absorb the cost

even if they do, I don't see how that "kills gsync" as there are still obvious advantages to keeping both alive

They want to lock people into their proprietary technology so they can make more money, literally the only thing stopping them supporting open standards.

Can't blame a corporation for trying to maximise their profits, that's the driving force behind innovation; I have to agree that it harms the consumer however when the result leads to a format war.

From a personal perspective, G-Sync is very very much alive and doing well. From a comedy perspective, my img/gif was too funny and only those who understood would be offended/laughed.

Why do the Nvidia crew get so wound up when a potential tech that could make it into all monitors and change gaming for everyone is promoted? Who cares if proprietary G-sync lives or dies, as long as the open standard Adaptive sync is widely accepted.

We all know G-sync will never make it into all monitors simply due to Nvidia's policies of keeping it in premium products.

You call Acer Monitors premium products ??

Its true though I dont really care whether g-sync sticks around or not just that a decent monitor is released that has whatever tech in it that works with my GPU to improve FPS overall.
