You only play with the MLG guys, no wonder your K/D is so high. :D

Only on Wednesday's and to be fair I don't really play properly anyway, I play to have fun with the lads.

I spend some time running around either trying to pistol people or bash them with the shield. 95% of my BF4 playtime is with my mate (I only have one) and we're foolish and try for objectives even while on a team of scrubs :D.

p.s. 2 K/D isn't high :p

GSync will show it's merits when you drop below 60fps (eg 35-60). Above that I doubt it is even working :p

(the last was sarcarm, ofc is working but cannot see the difference)

You can absolutely see the difference between gsync on/off above 60hz. As James mentions is completely eliminates all tearing and reduces stutter.
 
Would it be beneficial to set up a 'best settings' post for people to have everything all in one place ? i.e.

Have things like Locking FPS to 135, use TFTCentral profile, Set pre-rendered frames to 1, how to turn on ulmb, gsync things like that ?
 
Can one of you lucky souls with a GSync monitor do a quick favor for me...

Connect another monitor via DVI/DP and see under what conditions GSync remains active with a second monitor plugged in?

Will be using my 24" as a mini map/browser while gaming.
 
Started reading this thread today guys, So does Gsync only work with specific Nvidia cards ie latest ones 780+ or is it meant to work with all cards to these new 4k monitors?

My setup doesn't like it.

I have the Swift and a 30" Dell on DVI, also running Tri SLI.

Have to disable the Dell to get G-Sync and ULMB modes running smooth in fullscreen.

I have had weird issues in the past with running fullscreen SLI and a 2nd display with other stuff going on though so it may just be my setup.

G-Sync works with the GTX 650 and up, see here http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/technology/g-sync/supported-gpus

No joy here trying to run a mini map on a 2nd screen :(

Took delivery of my swift on Saturday so you can add me to the list

The only games I've been playing so far are dark souls 2 and planetside 2, both of which benefit greatly from gsync. Dark souls 2 was an absolute tearing mess unless using vsync before to the point of being unplayable so being able to completely cure that without any stuttering or frame hicupping is great. Planetside2 also feels fantastic and smooth which is nice as even with SLI 780TI's it is impossible to maintain anything close to 144hz (my framerate fluctuates between 50-130) As for input lag which seems to be the main talking point at the moment, I've not noticed any at all.

Not had a chance to test out the ULMB mode yet as there's not really much point of using it unless you can maintain 120hz. Might fire up BF4 to test it out but honestly I'm much more interested in planetside 2 at the moment.

Hi, did you do anything special to get Dark souls 2 working with G-Sync? I can for the life of me not get it to activate G-Sync, feels like I have tried everything and double-checked every setting. It somehow feels like the game is running some kind of borderless windowed full-screen, but I cant find anywhere to activate/deactivate something like that.
 
having used my Swift for almost a week i would say skyrim has seen the biggest improvement from g-sync so far

as we all know the games crappy engine doesn't like 120Hz

so i used NVI to cap the framerate to 75fps and with g-sync that means the monitor is at 75Hz and it feels just as smooth as 120fps/120hz
but without any of the weird physics bugs and flickering textures

Does that mean that although the 4k monitors are set to 60hz, with Gsync it will just as smooth if not better than the current 120/144mhz monitors?

I would have that if the monitor is completely asynchronous with the GPU the 60hz Should look/feel as good as 120hz ?

That's the way I read into it!
