**Nvidia G-Sync owners thread**

I hope not, the date has already changed once :(

To top it off its due in stock on a Friday, so going to have to butter up gibbo for some free Saturday delivery upgrades :p
 
Got the 880 round the corner so have to agree it's going to be an expensive couple of months :p love this monitor though. Totally worth the £680 I paid for it.
 
G-SYNC is sweet but far from free

Ryan was not the only one to test the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q G-Sync monitor, Overclockers Club also received a model to test out. Their impressions of the 27" 2560 x 1440 TN panel were very similar, once they saw this monitor in action going back to their 30-inch 60Hz IPS monitor was not as enjoyable as once it was. The only bad thing they could say about the display was the MSRP, $800 is steep for any monitor and makes it rather difficult to even consider getting two or more of them for a multiple display system.

”When you get down to it, the facts are that even with a TN panel being used for the high refresh rate, the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q G-Sync monitor delivers great picture quality and truly impressive gaming. I could go on all day long about how smooth each of the games played while testing this monitor, but ultimately not be able to show you without having you sit at the desk with me. No stuttering, no tearing, no lag; it's like getting that new car and having all the sales hype end up being right on the money. When I flip back and forth between my 60Hz monitor and the PC278Q, its like a night and day experience.”

I might hold off on the Asus while waiting for the Acer 4k reviews or availability on both - will be interesting to see how gsync compares at 144hz vs 60hz

That and ive just had a shipping notification on my DK2 so depending on how good that is i might not even be gaming on a monitor for a while

Awesome. Very interested to see your feedback on the rift.
 
So do games just work with gsync or do they need to have anything done like a ingame option like you must have vsync on which turns on gsync or somit or is it totally passive and works with everything? Also is there a special reason that gsync monitors seem to be in 144mhz flavours instead of a 1080p 60mhz flavour?
