NVidia G-SYNC HDR Q2 2017

Legend said:
4K @ 144Hz really is laughable though. No game that you'd actually really WANT to run at 4K for the loveliness of it all would even get half that frame rate. They'd be far better off working on faster refresh 34" ultrawide... as mentioned, that really is the sweet spot, and being stuck at a 100hz overclock as the only options give us currently is starting to get really tired... and then they go and show a useless monitor like this which we know will have an utterly obscene price tag that makes ultrawides look cheap! I despair. :(

The hardware to run it does exist (NVidia) even if the drivers are not up to it at the moment.

4K @144Hz could be one of the things that pushes AMD and NVidia to faster hardware and better drivers that support mGPU properly.
 
A 144hz panel is drastically more responsive than a 60hz panel. Multiple things effect the image quality of a screen and it's response rate is one of them. Higher refresh rate screens have more responsive pixels, which means better image quality due to less ghosting and/or overshoot. A 144hz 4k screen would look better than a 60hz 4k screen if a game is running 30fps, 60fps, 90fps or 144fps. The image will be sharper, there will be less panel induced motion blur, as in less ghosting and less overshoot.

I couldn't care what frame rate I'd achieve at 4k, I won't buy a 60hz screen which is why I haven't gone 4k yet. I'll ge ta 4k screen when there are reasonably priced 144hz versions available, which will be quite some time yet.

Have to agree 2160p/60htz does feel a bit slow, fortunately in the type of games I play it does not matter.

I have posted it here because it is as much about NVidia cards as it is monitors.:)

Pretty sure my monitor once configured already looks like the "simulated HDR" :D

I have seen HDR in the flesh though and while it is pretty I wouldn't ever fork out an extra few hundred for slightly better colours.

I can't imagine my disappointment at throwing £1.5k at one of these, only to watch it struggle to hit 60fps on a single card let alone 144fps.

By the time I got my hands on a GPU to drive it at 144hz the screen will be obsolete!

Maybe next generation we get cards with enough grunt to run such a screen properly.

I think it'll be about 5 years before I seriously consider building a set-up with a 4k, 144hz panel. By then we should have a decent choice of graphics cards that are capable of running it. Right now we don't unless you want to run CS:GO on it. :D

Agreed. One more step up from my 980ti and I'll be sorted for 3440*1440. I'm sure that'll be the res for me for a couple of years like you say. I'm sure 3440*1440 HDR 144Hz would be an improvement in IQ, but not enough to make the switch.

This 4k panel from ASUS will be a niche product like 8 Pack's crazy four card SLI systems of the past. :D
