**Nvidia G-Sync owners thread**

Love to go G-Sync as im in need of a new monitor. 4k res is a no go so im hoping there will be something at 2560x1440, 27" that doesnt cost the earth and a kidney like the swift.

Won't be long Rob and there will be.

Monitor manufacturers who will release G-Sync integrated products in Q2 2014 include Acer, AOC, ASUS, BEnQ, Philps and ViewSonic. The module-equipped displays will be available in 24- and 27-inch sizes.

Once competition is out, I expect prices of things like the ROG Swift to come down but early adopters know the score and I guess are happy to pay the premium.
 
As im currently on 24" 1920x1200, (and bored of it tbh). Moving to 1080 is pointless even with G-Sync.
 
I have the Swift on preorder here, looking forward to trying out G-Sync and seeing if it can extend the life of my GPUs so I can skip another generation!
 
After reading a couple of reviews of the ROG Swift I am very tempted, but I still think I'd rather try it out first to see what it's like and also the price is a bit too steep in my opinion.

I expect lots of reviews from those who have pre-ordered the Swift in the OP :D

Shouldn't this be in the monitor section? 3D monitors are in the monitor section even though they only work on nvidia cards. Why are gsync monitors different? They are still monitors.

Like when freesync monitors start appearing will there be an owners thread in the graphic card forum as well? I hope not.

Please keep the monitor threads in the monitor section.

There are Freesync threads in the graphics card section though.

G-Sync as I understand it requires a compatible monitor and graphics card. It won't work without the graphics card any more than it works without a monitor.
So I'd say it's 50/50 as to where it should go.

I believe there are also True Audio threads in the Graphics card section.

We've also got "upcoming games" threads in the graphics cards section just because they use an API that sort of related to graphics cards. Why are they different?
 
You forgot the drivers threads, maybe they should be in the Windows & other software thread, or all this discussion of Afterburner, Rivatuner, Precision X should be in the overclocking section.

Thinking about it, the Mantle stuff really should be in the Windows & other software as it works on APU's and GPU's from AMD.
 
Question: Is a GTX 690 G-Sync enabled?

If not, how would I suffer running a ROG SWIFT PG278Q on one?
