PC Gaming is fantastic in many ways. It can sometimes be a PITA as well. Picture this..you have just assembled your beastly new system and the scent of new electronics is in the air..finally you can play that graphically intensive game at max settings with no lag…..and then it happens; tearing, stuttering, or another annoyances. The great news is that NVIDIA has a cure called the G-SYNC.
“MONTREAL, QC – Solving the decades-old problem of onscreen tearing, stuttering and lag, NVIDIA today unveiled NVIDIA G-SYNC™ technology which, for the first time, enables perfect synchronization between the GPU and the display.
The result is consistently smooth frame rates and ultrafast response not possible with previous display technologies.
Several years in the making, G-SYNC™ technology synchronizes the monitor’s refresh rate to the GPU’s render rate, so images display the moment they are rendered. Scenes appear instantly. Objects are sharper. Game play is smoother.
“Our commitment to create a pure gaming experience led us to G-SYNC,” said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of the GeForce business unit at NVIDIA. “This revolutionary technology eliminates artifacts that have long stood between gamers and the game. Once you play on a G-SYNC monitor, you’ll never want to go back.”
Leading Game Developers Blown Away
Game developers have quickly embraced the benefits of G-SYNC technology, which enables their games to be played seamlessly.
“The huge gains in GPU rendering power over the past decade have enabled developers and artists to create increasingly complex 3D scenes and worlds. But even on the highest end PC, the illusion of reality is hampered by tearing and stutter. NVIDIA G-SYNC elegantly solves this longstanding problem. Images on a G-SYNC display are stunningly stable and lifelike. G-SYNC literally makes everything look better.” — Tim Sweeney, founder, EPIC Games
“NVIDIA’s G-SYNC technology is a truly innovative solution to an ancient legacy restriction with computer graphics, and it enables one to finally see perfect tear-free pictures with the absolute lowest latency possible. The resulting output really allows your mind to interpret and see it as a true continuous moving picture which looks and feels fantastic. It’s something that has to be seen to be believed!” — Johan Andersson, technical director, DICE
“With G-SYNC, you can finally have your cake and eat it too — make every bit of the GPU power at your disposal contribute to a significantly better visual experience without the drawbacks of tear and stutter.” — John Carmack, co-founder, iD Software
Rollout Plans by Monitor Manufacturers
Many of the industry’s leading monitor manufacturers have already included G-SYNC technology in their product roadmaps for 2014. Among the first planning to roll out the technology are ASUS, BenQ, Philips and ViewSonic.”
