nVidia G-Sync

I am quite interested in this technology and look forward to testing out monitors that use 'G-Sync'. Maybe it's getting late and it has been a long day, but one thing I am wondering... If you are running a monitor at a high refresh rate (for example 144Hz) it is advantageous even if you aren't getting 144fps. Even at significantly lower frame rates there is a specific 'fluid' or 'connected' feeling to that 144Hz refresh rate. You'll know this feeling as you move your mouse and look around the game world - it's purely related to the refresh rate and has nothing specifically to do with input lag. It can't be replicated on a 60Hz monitor even if it has zero input lag, so my issue is this - will 'G-sync' take away this connected feeling if it has to lower the refresh rate at lower frame rates? Some people really like this feeling (me included) even if it doesn't technically make a difference to my performance in a game title. Seems like it isn't all pros and no cons if so.

Not if it works as it should.

I always wondered how 30 fps on console games doesn't feel anywhere near as bad as 30 fps in PC games. Certain degree of fluidity there, I think this could deliver that "feel".

I jumped on 120hz early on, and will look to do the same with this. Will wait to see what screens come out first though.

Prob get another Asus next time.
