Poll: Poll: Did Gsync Bowl you over?

[easyrider]

I assume he means if ya look at the price difference between a top end monitor like and x34 and check the gsync vs no gsync theres rougly a £200 difference. Just a guess.

edit: ignore me, explained above

And 1440p TN panels

 

[Dicehunter]

The difference isn't £200, It's more like £100.

That's free sync which isn't free...

I'm on about standard 1440p 144hz panels.

Ahh ok, Well variable refrsh rate/adaptive sync tech is frakkin awesome in my eyes.

they're not 1440 nor 144hz

 

[Sencha]

It looks nice but don't like the added input lag small as it is. Use it for SP games.

I know.... It is to show that freesync is in actual fact "free".

 

[whyscotty]

No it's not - it still costs £419

And the freesync range of that monitor makes it redundant anyway...

Yup no disagreeing there, it sucks big time, there were rumours a while back that they lowered the range from 48 to 40, no idea if it is true though....

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Well, at 1440 my 980Ti can't run the AAA titles at a constant 120Hz. Most games fluctuate between 70 and 90 boosting to 120 in parts. Gsync handles the fluctuation perfectly.

As for people saying it's "not worth the money"... unless you know how much the Gsync part of the unit costs, and how much it costs to implement and how much R&D went into it... well, it's all just subjective!

I heart my Swift.

 

[Five.Stars]

I have a ROG Swift. Was I impressed? Yes, but certainly not blown away. Gsync is a good technology and it should be used (or a variant) in pretty much every new display going forwards, including televisions.

However, I do tend to do most of my gaming these day in living room on tv and vsync is perfectly adequate as long as the game supports triple buffering (which 99.99999% do).

So with all that being said, I voted no.

 

[tommybhoy]

Yes.

Well variable refrsh rate/adaptive sync tech is frakkin awesome in my eyes.

 

[Kaapstad]

I need a monitor than can do both G-Sync and Free-Sync.

 

[easyrider]

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..

Then buy 2 monitors simples

 

[blasterbolt]

I love gsync if you have not seen it in the flesh you really don't know what your missing I am guessing free sync is the same but it really does make a difference

 

[Dicehunter]

You happily lay out 4 grand for 4 x Titan X's, 2 grand for 4 x Fury X's and a grand for an LN2 980 Ti, What's another grand for a G-Sync monitor and Freesync monitor ?

I highly doubt we'll see monitors that include both technologies any time soon.
