**Nvidia G-Sync owners thread**

Swift with dual overclocked 780s here and been working fine for a while. Waiting on a Titan X arriving tomorrow (originally bought 2 but the second wasn't in stock). Will see how it fares with one TX to decide if a second is needed.

1 is absolutely fine bud. 2 I think would be a bit overkill which is what has stopped me from pulling the trigger on a 2nd. I'd imagine a single TX will be as a bit quicker than your 2 780's at stock and pretty much on par when overclocked (the TX is a good overclocker, but needs a good fan profile to keep it cool and stop/ limit any throttling) - with the added bonus of having absolutely zero worries about VRAM or SLI profiles and scaling not being up to scratch.

You can add me on the G-Sync owners list if you like Greg, have had Swift for few months now, but this thread had somehow evaded my eyes lol.
 
Ok here's the thing. I love the smoothness of my 144Hz monitor, it gorgeous. And I love the g-sync demo NVidia put out, showing the smoothness below the refresh rate.

however if I cap my fps artificially to say 50 fps and play TF2 my main squeeze game wise, it looks anything but smooth. Sure there is no tearing, but the image is not like having v-sync on at 60Hz or 144Hz refresh rates its a skittery, jittery mess.

and playing GTA V when the frames get low it's pretty obvious and I can see and feel it, I don't get the smoothness touted by the demo, so what's going on?

I've tried all combinations of settings and refresh rates and it does not improve, there does not seem to be a magic formula to get it right, is this just the way it is or is there something wrong.

If GTV A is running around 80-90 fps at 144Hz it's a beautiful thing to behold, liquid gold.

I know I could just turn g-sync off and it would be a lot worse, all the old issues, but I thought it would be a little better than what I'm getting. Maybe I'm just used to super smooth 144 fps'ness and anything below 90 fps juts looks crap?

There is no 'magic formula', getting there?, yes i would say, hardware GSYNC is just another link in the chain, the quest for ultimate smoothness is reliable on different factors, quality coding has to step it up along the way. From my personal experience a multi-GPU configuration still has it's niggles, time constraints does not help though. Technology (hardware/software) has improved in many areas but no elixir or panacea yet :D
 


KitGuru Says: A 34” 100Hz IPS display with 3440*1440 resolution and Nvidia G-Sync seems to be a great choice for gamers, who also want to enjoy fine colours and viewing angles. The price of the product will naturally be prohibitively high, but 100Hz refresh along with G-Sync may be worth it for many gamers.

Expect to pay over a grand for this but the specs look sweet as. Do want but over my budget :(

Looking to move to a gsync screen soon. I'll be selling the CPU, mobo and ram in sig to help fund the purchase, (X99 build on the way). But, I'm pondering wether to go 1440 or 4k. The former I reckon will be grand with a single 980ti, not so sure on the latter. But going 4k now on lower settings might do ok until new gpu's are released.

Having run both 1440P and 4K, I personally feel 1440P is the sweetspot and I am a fan of a single GPU + G-Sync over multi GPU and G-Sync. It just works and works well and with your 980Ti, you can max settings in pretty much every game out and get playable frame rates.
 
Was looking at the Acer X models, 1440 and 4k. But see that the swift is now a bit lower in price too. Also after reading on tft central, seems there will be a few new 1440 models on the way soon. One from Dell that could be interesting.
