I've just bought a Dell 27inc Gsync...and it's not mind blowing...

Before that I had a Dell ultrawide 34 inch ...

Running around the same place @ 100 fps is no different on the dell Gsync than running around the place @ 60 fps ....on the dell UW TBH...

What about running around the same spot where frames vary between 50 and 100. THAT'S where the beauty lies. Capital letters just used, yes.

If stuttering, hitching, judder, screen tear, etc don't bother you then fair enough :confused:

Also, if you're not seeing the motion clarity difference between 60hz on a non gaming IPS panel and 100hz on a TN gaming panel (the dell is virtually the same as my rog swift I believe), then again it may be time to rethink those old eyes of yours bud :-)

Ok I disabled gsync and went to Sir Hammerlocks big game hunt...got a contant 100fps dipping to 90 in places.

Enabled gsync and went back...got the same frames but couldn't tell the difference.

200 quid extra this cost me....what am I missing?

I was going to reply with a full on detailed post, but I can't, as what the Royal ****ing hell is Sir Hammerlocks big game hunt???

Seriously, wtf?

Ok I'll play. If you still have your other 60hz screen, you must have noticed the difference in smoothness and judder if frames dropped under a vsync locked 60? Or maybe you're one of those odd people that play with vsync off and don't mind tearing of the image, which is just plain wrong?.....

....Actually, I can't be bothered. I'm off to bed. No offence. If you can't appreciate gsync give your monitor to someone who can :-)

It's DLC content for borderlands 2

I do notice it's smoother...I don't get tearing or judder....I just don't think it's worth 200 :D

If you have a 980ti that can push 120fps all the time in games....getting a 144hz without Gsync is not a biggie IMO now I've tried both.

Yes

Already had a single 980 and had planned upgrading my monitor to 4k a while back so G-Sync made perfect sense to me. Must admit it has lost some of it's usefulness having a 2nd 980 in SLI, but it is still useful in some games where I can push the details up higher and have the occasional drop in FPS. Any game that can run at your monitor's refresh rate it's an entirely wasted technology.

Guess the biggest wow factor was going from a Dell 2412M to an Acer XB280HK.

60 fps looks the same as 100 fps to me....

Indeed, seems to be a combination of a new power brick and DP cable that has sorted it. Hopefully thats it for good. Had a wee quick blast on bf3 just now. Feels so much better compared to 60Hz.:)

144hz would....the gsync though...aint worth 200 smackers
 
setter said:
I only have bf3 currently installed, so tbh not a great game to measure the use of gsync as ive never had issues running it at decent fps.

Gsync is good but it's not the true messiah

If you have a top end 980 ti and 144hz then Gsync is just icing on the cake...and expensive icing...

Yet the majority in this thread say it is worth it.

should have spent the 200 smackers on a decent eye test or put it towards eye surgery :p

Purchase justification complex...:D

I've spent nearly 600 quid on this Dell TN panel...it's tat....


The mere fact people putting up with coil whine on x34 monitors BLB on Rogs and acers is proof enough....

The monitor arena is stagnant...so they bolt on stuff at a price premium onto old tech...

Squeezing a bezel to eliminate BLB is quite frankly ludicrous.
 
setter said:
Thankfully i got my swift for a lot less than the current retail price. To see the full benefits of gsync ill have to install something a bit more demanding. But ill say this, 144Hz makes 60Hz feel like playing a game in sticky mud.:D
Click to expand...

40 fps is still 40 fps...regardless of Gsync...

I'm so glad I've scratched the itch with it....buying into one said vendor for me is ridiculous....

Ok you could get an Amd card in the future but you'd still be left with 144hz TN

Something that can be had so much cheaper...
 
Please go with your head and not your wallet...

So many people making excuses for monitors costing 600 quid plus....

Unless we stop accepting tat....bezels that bend with BLB...pixel interlacing...whiny screens with responses like "mine stops screeching when I turn my volume down" we'll all be fleeced left right and centre for mediocre products..

its shame theres no hack for nvidia cards to run freesync, that would solve it

This....I'm surprised this has not be investigated by the bios...drivers gurus...


What ever happened to that stuff where they had Gsync running on a laptop without Gsync?
