This.

The current system is in place simply because not charging up front causes issues, such as:-

1. Card provided at time of pre-ordering does not charge at time of shipping, expired, no funds etc.
2. Customer forgets about their pre-order, then they all of a sudden get an unexpected bill.


Paying upfront secures your slot and it is paid for and done with, no surprises. :)

Speaking as a customer Gibbo, I would have to respectfully disagree. Would much rather be charged upon dispatch. But hey ho! :p

I fully agree with Gibbo. Preorders where you get penalized for cancelling - no thanks.

If you can't afford to pay for electronics upfront then perhaps you need to reconsider the purchase in the first place.
 
Hello guys!

New here and just wanted to say hello and that I follow this thread closely just for what seems to be the best monitor in the world :)

So hello fellow gamers and know that im in the same pain as you guys, about waiting for the thing to come out :D

I think that I have never been this excited ever for an hardware upgrade and I will sell my Asus VG278H to my brother.

I belive that g-sync will be the best thing happen to pc gaming since the GPU's was invented :)

Thanks for the welcoming guys!

I remember visiting this place like maybe 10 years ago and thought it was a great place with lots of nice people and a friendly tone, but I never did registered but after checking around all over the net after PG278Q forum threads I stumbled upon this site again and after reading on this thread I feelt right to be home again, strange feeling heh!

But it make me glad to see that it have this nice feeling still and I guess that maybe many of you have been around here way back then. Im rumbling right.. LOL!

Annyway it's nice to be here and this time I actually registered to tell you what I feel :)

Well thanks again guys, really appreciated the welcoming!

So what sort of graphics horsepower are people going to need to get the best out of this monitor. 780ti be enough?

Depends on game/settings. I'll want to run this monitor at constant 144fps on BF4 which may be a push with my 780 although I think I'll wait for the 880 before upgrading.

I'm actually more interested in ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur) mode which operates separately from G-Sync. G-Sync is not really geared towards those of us that don't see allot of drops - but ULMB is.

Wont it be very low settings to get 144fps with a 780?

Im currently using an MSI 780 Lightning and i have no issues staying at 120 fps(locked) during MP matches. Sure not all settings are maxed, some are actually set to low(on purpose) but all the important settings for visibility are maxed out. I dont need heavy post processing or Ambient Occlusion, i dont need anything that impairs my vision and ability to hunt down other players... okay deep breaths... guess im just saying a gtx 780 can hit 200fps fairly easy in BF4 on a 1080p display so i would assume 144hz 1440p should be doable too.

I doubt it. Try running this to see what frames you really get. Running 144Hz @ 2560x14440 is another ball game.

Intesting comments here:

I just bought the Asus VG248QE With the G-sync DIY kit.

After one day I can only say this...
G-sync is slightly overrated, It gives you low but, to me atleast, noticeable input lag.
I much more prefer the ULMB(UltraLowMotionBlur) setting over g-sync(you can't have both). In addition to this you cannot run ULMB higher than 120Hz. But that's OK since, With g-sync on, you get more input lag running at 144Hz anyway.

Now I run With 120Hz/120fps, With ULMB On.
Even though G-sync is good, I never said it sucked, I still prefer not to use it.
I totally removes the tearing, which is noticeable when you run With V-sync Off.

Another thing I noticed when running G-Sync is that every 1-2min there is great lag, even just for a split second.
It's odd, and it might be a driver issue, but I've tried both the 337.88 and the 335.23 drivers, but it has the same problem. I also removed Geforce Experience, but to no avail.

So if you have a monitor that support 2D Light Boost or ULMB I suggest you use that over G-sync.

Just my 2 cents.

This is my BF4 Frametimes, 1 full match from start to finish, 32 players on a 32 slot server.

Settings:
1080p
FOV: 70
Textures: Ultra
Filtering: Ultra
Rest: Off or low
Resolution scale: 100%
Max ingame fps unlocked to 999

Raw Input:
73m934.png

Frame Smoothing: 2ms

Now sure, i was a bit generous when i said 200 easy, as its clear that it doesnt stay at 200 all the time. I was wrong in my statement. But considering my setup is able to maintain 200fps almost 50% of the time and considering that i can put a 300 core clock on my gfx to help me i would argue that im getting fairly close to be able to claim my previous statement true ..
