**Nvidia G-Sync owners thread**

Its an Nvidia only technology that requires an Nvidia GPU to use in the first place. Thats why gsync technology still has a place in the graphics sub forum.

James what games do you play? Really interested to see how well GSYNC works with games like ARMA 3 where FPS can be quite low and fluctuate a lot.
Soldato
Not tried ARMA but I do play other FPS games like BF4, bulletstorm, shadow warrior and rise of the triad to give you a few examples of games that vary in terms of graphics and speed. All of them work beautifully with gsync, but I never dip below 35 fps in anything I play, so I'm bound to get the best experience anyway.
Gsync will become a problem if your hardware cannot do 30fps min as you'll notice a flicker on your screen as the refresh rate gets low enough for you to see it. Obviously at that point, with or without gsync, you should look at turning something down to get a better experience.
The first thing everyone will notice who uses gsync for the first time (doesn't matter what game either) is how "static" the image is. This is simply due to the complete lack of stutter and tearing. That combined with vsync off input lag, is a rather nice mixture.
It was you more so that got me wanting G-Sync, purely because of your early comments about the tech.
I am looking forward to this tech in a big way.

I hope I do.
I think first off I'm going to spend a few hours gaming with it disabled, hopefully the impact will be bigger when I do choose to enable it
You are already not using it so you'll notice straight away
Best games to try first? Something with fast movement like battlefield 4.

I will be taking one of dem der rog swift ... much excited
I am going to quote this to you on every thread you post a question or a negative comment.
I have no problems discussing the technology, but this isn't discussing the technology, it's an owner thread for monitors. If, as according to the title, it's a gsync owners thread, then everyone who has a kepler card is an owner and they should all post their cards up.
Again, I make reference to 3D, you don't see a 3D owners thread in the graphic card section.
This is about owning the monitors, sure they make use of a technology on NVidia's cards, but they are still monitors.
What? don't be stupid. They are all graphics tech and I have no problem with any of that, or discussing Gsync. Why would I? This thread isn't discussing Gync, this is a thread for owners of Monitors. Last I checked this wasn't the monitor subsection. Again, sure, you need a NVidia card to use the them, but it's no different than 3D.
Yes and there is whole thread on Gsync, and it's a great tech and hope it works as well as advertised. When prices come down I might look into buying a Gsync monitor. But this isn't thread discussing gsync, its a thread for owners of the monitor. Which should be in the monitors section.
3D is specific to Nvidia but I think an owners thread for 3D monitors would be moved pretty quickly to the monitor section. This thread is for the owners of Gsync monitors. Should be in the monitor section.
Well if you really want to argue about it, I put it to you that Mantle is not in fact just a graphics tech. It works on APU's and GPU's and one of its major benefits is that it reduces the CPU workload to allow slower CPU's to do better. Does this mean that it really shouldn't be in this section.
Afterburner, precision X etc they really are all about tweaking the overclocking and cooling settings, oh look there is a section of the forum for exactly that.
Lastly 3D isn't exclusive to Nvidia, well it wasn't last time I looked, or are you suggesting that threads about tri def software should be in a different section, especially as it is definitely software and it isn't even made by a graphics card company.
Bottom line if you don't like a thread, report it rather than post in it.
My comments before were a humorous addition to what GoogalyMoogaly was saying, maybe I should have put a smiley. You don't have to take everything so literal.
Soldato
Honestly mate, the only person who seems to have a problem with this is you. Gsync has been talked about far more on the graphics card forum than on the monitor one, due to the benefits to gamers and revolutionising vsync, which is a graphics based technology.
I doubt the mods will move the thread, so best just to move on mate.

The thread was started by an underboss and hasnt yet been moderated to the monitor section, pretty good clue that it isnt going to be
In fact i wouldnt mind betting a thread clean will be imminent...

If it offends people that much, I will get it moved to the monitor section. My aim was to also see who had pre-ordered and start an owners thread. Sorry if people feel this is in the wrong section and happy to get it moved.
Leave it as is, it's based around benefiting gpu output.
If you don't like it, ya'know, don't open it? I know some of you may find it hard to see a thread and not instantly want to bitch about it then proceed to derail it - as with 99% of other threads on here.

It is one person complaining mate, ignore it, if anything get the thread tidied up so that we can get back to discussing and imminently reviewing gsync
^^this clean it so its about gsync not about trying to get it moved
This is the key part. It would get missed if it was in the monitor section and because you need a nVidia GPU, I felt it would be more beneficial to anyone interested if it was here. And the fact that G-Sync is nVidia only (3D isn't nVidia only).
Added Tony to the pre-ordered list

This.
Sick of clicking on a thread that should be full of useful information turned into junk.
Keen to see some feedback on the gsync montiors as more people get them, quite excited by this, all early impressions have been positive - once we see some swift rivals at a better price then i'll open up my wallet!
