That moment when a gtx 1070 became a lower end gpu
*crying in the inside
It still can play every game at 4k max setting if you cap fps at 30. Way better than consoles.
Cries in 960 2gb
Cries in intergraded graphics
yes while having the same/better performance of the brand new 1660ti and almost as the brand new 2060! xD 1070 FTW! :D
Hi, i was wondering if it is posible to use Adaptive Sync with Hdmi or this is compatible with DisplayPort only?? I asking because i read some news and now A-Sync is compatible with hdmi but i don`t know if my Graphic card it is.
Thank you. (Monitor LG GL600F & GTX 1060)

I’d be interested to know if there is a difference in performance with G-Sync on a freesync monitor like the 34GK950F vs G-Sync on a natively supported G-sync monitor like its 34GK950G counterpart (literally the same panel but with a native G-Sync module in it).
i wouldn't really care that much because the performance difference would be minimal if that but the price difference between freesync and gsync on the other hand is another story gsync being compatible with freesync monitors is the best thing that nvidia had done in 2019 lol
yeah I would assume there is no real noticeable difference, they both accomplish the same goal and the player would instantly notice the smooth gameplay with it turned on either way
Philly Love I currently have the X34 and am seriously considering upgrading to the 34GK950F. Seems like a lot of people have made this step from the Acer to this one.
@@whuber97 I got the aw3418dw. But, their is another LG still in production. It will be 38 inch variant with 3840x1600p 144hz native gsync IPS 2ms panel with OC to 170hz. Personally, I really want anything with 144hz and more than that just HDR. I want better colors.
So, for now I ended up purchasing an LG 55 c8 OLED for $1349. The b8 has a little bit slower year old processor but that one was on sale for $999. So, it's all depending on what you want. But, no way would I give up ultrawide. I just got tired of going I love my gaming monitor but wish I could have deeper and better colors. My xb271hu has the best calibrated colors out of all the 1440p g sync IPS monitors. I have a great aw3418dw ao4. It's been 1 year over at this point @120hz no issues ever. But, really wish I could have that HDR standard. Some people say it's not worth others say that LG has lighter coating and nano IPS improved colors a bit plus native 144hz. Besides warranty being 1 year and Scrappy compared to Dell's 3 years of overnight replacement warranty. It's a toss up between what you think is worth. But, once they start selling these LG panels @ Costco I might just pick one up. We'll see... I rather not sell mine and give to my sister. Even sell to a friend because I can guarantee the panels quality.
@@Madhawk1995 A friend of mine just got a AW3418DW - it's a nice monitor. Currently I have an X34 that I use for AAA titles and productivity, and the AW2518H (240Hz w/ G-Sync) that I use for FPS games like CS:GO, etc. I am looking for a nice balance between an ultrawide monitor that I can use for productivity and still high refresh rate / low response time for the FPS games, and vairable refresh rate for the AAA games that I likely can't drive 144FPS on at that resolution. The HDR is a plus. So is the better OSD and layouts that you get with the LG panels. The OSD on the X34 is horrible. I feel like the 34GK950F might be that sweet spot. So I'd sell the 2 monitors I have now and replace it with that one.
The upcoming 38" LG variant is an interesting thought, however I feel like that monitor won't likely see the light of day until Q4 and it'll likely come with a $2,000+ price tag, not something I'd likely be willing to deal with.
The OLED TV is an interesting idea, though that would suffer from input lag for the FPS side of things, so I think I'm back to the 34GK950F. Any other thoughts on it?
Man, just the video I needed. What a great timing. I'm considering buying an LG Gaming Monitor. There is a 27" one coming out soon. Thank you very much!
Took the words outta my mouth. I'm also close to buying a gaming monitor. Great timing indeed.
I bought it. It's fantastic. Say goodbye to screen tearing for good! 😁
Thanks for the video. The 34GK950F - when activating Gsync, will the refresh rate be 144hz? If yes, that would make it a way better pick than the 34GK950G-B, the gsync model that is capped at 120hz.
I want to buy 34GK950. RTX 2080 TI. I can not find where to answer. What is better to take and what are the differences.
950F 144
950G 120
If Nvidia supports 950F. And there is no difference. Then it turns out you need to take 950F since there are 144
What about frame-time?
Is it as high as with standard VSync or a bit lower?
How close is it to the real g-sync?
I just wanna say that I actually got the LG 32GK850F based on this video, to pair with my GTX 1080ti and unfortunately things are not as simple as this video would have you believe. While the Gsync will activate on a decent number of games, there were an awful lot (more than 50% of the games I tested) that refused to use Gsync while in fullscreen mode, yet would work when in windowed or borderless windowed. The only way to get Gsync working was to ALT TAB multiple times until it kicked in. I believe this is why one of Nvidias requisites for Gsync Compatible status was that the monitor had Freesync enabled by Default (which these monitors do not.) So while when it works, it does so better than my ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q, the extra effort to activate it in so many games really sours the taste in my mouth. Had I know this before buying I would not have got this monitor.
did gsync always work properly if you had used borderless windowed option? Is that the only requirement to make sure gsync works perfectly on lg freesync2 monitor?
You review is kinda incomplete, because your monitor came with HDR. It be nice for you to review IF these NVIDIA graphic card actually support the ‘full’ range AMD FreeSync 2; and HDR is a important component of AMD FreeSync 2.
More so your LG 32GK850-F came with HDR rating of 400. I would request you to test you r monitor with this NVIDIA graphics card, for a better comprehensive test
Thx ^-^

@@blumac9801 already did.
After I buy this monitor, every tech tube does the same.
The biggest difference between both adaptive-sync-methods is that a G-sync(module) monitor has Variable Overdrive capability whilst there are only a few (two) Free-sync/G-sync-compatible monitors that have Adaptive Overdrive which is a rudimentary form of Variable Overdrive. I don't expect anyone to care about this. Would've been nice to touch upon this because it does make a big difference in image quality at lower frame rates!
Static Overdrive
This is your typical overdrive applied to speed up pixel transitions. Ignore the "1ms" in marketing for a minute. Those are bogus numbers. With a typical IPS-type 144hz panel, you're going to have something like 5-6ms at 144hz, and 8-10ms at 60hz. EXAMPLE
And this is ideal. It mitigates both traditional ghosting and inverse ghosting (overshoot). If you used the 5-6ms overdrive algorithm at 60hz, you'd have dark smearing. If you used the 8-10ms algorithm at 144hz, you'd have noticeable ghosting.
This leads us to...
Dynamic Overdrive
First generation Freesync displays had overdrive disabled when Freesync was enabled. This is because the algorithm was static and as your framerate dipped, ghosting became more evident. Finally, via firmware updates and new releases, overdrive could be enabled on some (and eventually most) Freesync displays. And thus, the marketing term "Dynamic Overdrive" was born. This is nothing more than the ability to enable static overdrive on a Freesync monitor. And because it doesn't fix the underlying issue, many manufacturers got creative with how they implemented this. The Asus MG279Q, for example, is a 144hz monitor with a 35-90hz Freesync range. What APPEARS to be happening is that, when Freesync is enabled, it uses the 60hz algorithm when in range, and the 144hz algorithm when out of range (which is when the monitor locks to 144hz). Maybe. That's speculation on my part. And could be wrong. It's a working theory that I do not have the means to test.
Variable Overdrive
This is a hardware feature built into the scaler of the G-Sync module. What this does is adjusts the overdrive algorithm on the fly based on the currently displayed frame rate, which controls the refresh rate. Your response time will slightly differ between 78hz and 79hz. This ensures that ghosting and overshoot are balanced and mitigated at all levels.
Adaptive Overdrive
For the longest time it appears that Variable and Adaptive overdrive were interchangeable. Adaptive-Overdrive is the feature for the Nixeus NX-ED27 claims to support. However a recent quote from their Director of Product Development led me to believe that they aren't truly the same. Adaptive overdrive seems to automatically enable overdrive when needed, and disables it when overdrive may be detrimental.
yea
Nahhh I'd still pay more for a Samsung flagship
Does g sync works well on 24GL600F , do you set vsync on too? and do you need DP or HDMI cable to make gsync works?
Great video. So satisfying to watch your videos
but input lag is higher with this ON.
can we use display port to hdmi converter to use gsync?????please reply @commentsection
Probably u r going to get some artifacts
Nice update as I also have gtx 1060 with freesync supported monitor, but still need a display port cable as I didn't have one
i bought LG 27 MK600 (freesync monitor) with gtx 1060, but this monitor dont have display port. and Nvdia control panel not showing g sync features.. so saaddd

So am I.
I was wondering about the G, because i have a gtx 1080ti
@@BigBoss-gb4cx Me to, will order it today :) Seems awesome for my RTX 2070!
jeez LG is just giving those 5 monitors out to every tech tuber lol
They usually have to return them. They might be able to keep one of them. Might.
I bought a AOC ultrawide 35inch 3440x1440 with 100hz Gsync for £435 :))) .. It has a bit of light bleed and i guess that's why it was returned to buyer and I bought it as refurbished :). Original price was £1000. This was cheaper than a freesync 1080p ultrawide monitor guess i dodged the gsync premium price.
Cannot activate G-sync on my XG270HU Acer monitor..because there is no option available to do it manually or any other way to do it..I guess its because i still have Win7..Am i right?Does this thing work only on Win10?Probably yes..
U must have win 10..win 7 wont work..
i would be happy to see lower end Screens like the Mainstream 75hz 1080p monitors, like the LG 27MP59G-P eg :3
Does this works with gtx 1660??? You just said it works with gtx 10 series and rtx 20 series, but it works also with gtx 16 series?
16 series is a variant of the 20 series so, yes, it works :)
@@Sligili ohh really? ok thanks!
Just got the LG32 and was great. Beats my dell by a mile
So... UA-cam influencers get FIVE monitors from companies for free!! Where do I sign up?
There is NO G-Sync on FreeSync monitor. G-Sync is G-Sync, FreeSync is FreeSync.
G-Sync works with nVidia proprietary hardware module,
FreeSync works with free open-source Adaptive-Sync technology embedded in DisplayPort link.
The so called "G-Sync on FreeSync monitors" only means that nVidia decided to support FreeSync on their graphics cards.

This is funny, freesync in my monitor (LG 24GL600F) wasn't working with my Rx 570, but after upgrading to a RTX 2060 it works perfectly fine. Just amd
Lmao
I have a LG ultragear 24gl600f freesync monitor but was looking to get a Nvidia 1660, will gsync work on this monitor?
Could you do a review on both 32 inch lg monitors please.
This monitor will likely to have horizontal scanline problem down the road before 12 months period...I just got this issue yesterday... sadly i cant fix it and other people have this issue too and have to send to lg for repair.
Thanks I'm not a gamer and want to get a monitor for photo editing & productivity I have an older Nvidia gtx 960 card will it work on any monitor or do I need to get one for Nvidia or AMD card? Thanks
if you have tearing in game that would like to say you are cpu or gpu limited. bottleneck there , i have 32 screen and gsync vsync disabled with no tearing in any game...
Dear Mr. The Tech Chap,
Please let LG know they suck at having stock of any of these monitors in Australia.
Thank you
They don’t want to earn money that’s for sure. Been w8ting for the monitor 2 months now in Sweden.
LG monitors are shit.
Are these monitors still good for PS4 Gaming and some productive work ?
Anyone having their screen go black with free sync on? Mine does it after a about an hour of use every 1to6 minute for a few seconds on the whole screen.
Hi, BEST SUPER Danke, Děkuji, Thanks You, I Have Monitor 24" LG 24GL600F + GTX 1080 Ti :-))) Very NICE
Did it work perfectly? Gonna get that Moniter
I'm on a 1050 ti and i'm getting a 144hz monitor. I'm so glad it has freesync. This is my monitor if you care - LG Ultragear 24GL600F-B.
HonkeyDoodleDonkey I have the exact same card and planning to buy the mentioned LG monitor next week. Are you satisfied with the purchase? What are your first impressions? Thank you in advance.
I am very happy with the purchase, the freesync works great and the 144hz refresh rate looks amazing. The only thing to note is that since the 1050 ti is a bit of an older card some games you will probably have to turn down some of the settings. Like for example in 2016 Doom I had to turn down the settings to medium (which still looks great btw) to get an average fps of about 100-120fps. But I think that this monitor will come in handy even more so once I buy a new card. But yes I do think it is worth the purchase, even if you are only getting 80-90 fps in some games it's still an extra 30 fps compared to a 60hz. You have yourself a good day.
my new monitor pulses but only in the menu of cod mw
LG 24MP59G SUPPORTS BOTH G-SYNC AND FREESYNC ?
CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME ?
What type lighting do you have behind your desk ?
alex marques I think it’s called edison bulb , search on amazon there are many options
Temujin Sharavdorj hmm I thought it would’ve been a type of bar instead of individual bulbs
Whoa. this is real news to me! nVidia officially supporting this? Gonna keep my eyes out for FreeSync2 in my next monitor purchase. I believe even the new Samsung TVs are supporting it :)
They're, but they don't have display port. So, according to this video, it won't work.
@@ZondaSFangio What a bummer!
i have a 27UK650-W is there any way i can use Gsync ive tried and tried i dont know what more to do

Can you do UltraWide 3440x1440p monitors please that have FreeSync
Yoyoblackbunny Channel i have one, sucked on gtx 1070 but works well with an rx580
I have to use pisplay port inorder to enable freesync?
so is that display port to display port? Or can someone whose got a laptop have an hdmi on the laptop end to a display port on the monitor?
I have been using vertical sync in games since forever and it seems to be doing the same thing but at additional price or am I wrong??
The thing with Vsync is that every input signal is "busy waiting" for the next Frame Sync signal. So you are tying your KB&Mouse input commands to the image being displayed.
Another limit of Vsync is that it can only function up to the max refreshrate of your monitor (wasting the extra performance you can get out of your PC) and in 1/2^n the max panel refresh rate. Lets say you have a 144hz panel with vsync enabled. But your PC can't render 144frames, i can do... let's say 100. Since Vsync can only do 1/2^n set n=1 and you have 72fps cap. Wasting the extra 28fps your gpu can render. Furthermore, if for some moment your pc struggles with a complex scene and drops to let's say 70fps, since 70
lol the funny thing is due to Gsync monitors costing a ton compared to freesync AMD monitors, this will make people want to buy more AMD monitors. Though you realize to get the best sync with AMD you gonna have to shell out just as much as a gync monitor anyways with the freesync 2 models.
None of Samsung freesync monitors pass Nvidia's gsync tests?
I was really considering to go for Nvidia and a G-Sync monitor last year when i buildt a new pc, but luckilly i chose to go for Amd and FreeSync. Atleast now i have the option to choose a GPU from both camps :)
It can work with Nvidia gps 30’s and 40’s too?
LG 22MK600M
will this support g sync?
Can the samsung q60 freesync g sync with 980 sli?
There's a firmware update for that ultrawide that improves input lag greatly I believe. They've also got a 1440p, IPS, 160hz, 27inch coming in Q3 with 95% DCIP3. I'm waiting for that!
Ben that firmware update your referring to for the LG monitor, did you do that with the special cable they sent with the monitor? Also how long do you think it on your end to update that firmware cause mins always seems to be not working.
what is the model?
Yeah me too, Ben! I thought it was in Q2 though. Oh well, more time to save up because they'll probably cost around 1000.
Ben
How you connect the? HDMi?
Why you need to wait? You should go for HVEC good HDR monitors on DplayP or Thunderbolt 3!
Why you need ultra small, why the wide HD ready?
Does the LG34um69g support Freesync too?
I would like to know if there is a difference in terms of input lag when using freesync with nvidia graphics cards (especially compared to g-sync)!😊
there is none, there are tons of comparison videos on youtube to find out
anyone noticed triple take with energy ammo ? XD old days
Imagine LG sending you alla them screens. - I need to become a creator.
You should definitely try it
Why does G-Sync even exist anymore?
What do you mean
?
Eivind Berg think he means most FreeSync monitors now support gsync, so no need for a sole gsync monitor. Just a guess though.
Bloody UA-cam had unsubscribed me from your channel. I wondered where your videos went. Bloody UA-cam.
Which one of those 5 monitors did you like best? And thank you for letting us know about your test, and for your shared thoughts! : )
I am going with the 240hz one
Latest word is LG C9 OLED TVs to work with Nvidia G-Sync over hdmi 2.1. Firmware coming in matter of weeks. Big news for us couch gamers wanting PC vrr on BSGD formats
Good feature but can’t you just enable vsync in the control panel? I don’t have nor use a display port.
Great video. Love the Stormtrooper model on your desk. Where can I get one?
Anyone know of any brightness flickering/strobing on the LG 34Gk950F when using Freesync/GSync? Currently having this issue on the Samsung C32HG70. Thanks
Ykno what's crazy? I got all my PC parts which are god damn beefy and also have the LG34GK950F, I only unboxed the monitor because im still waiting for my case to arrive, but now that i've seen the monitor in front of my eyes, it looks extremely different to how it looks like on this video. It's just so much bigger in person and goddamn the colours are .. fuck man i fucking came.
Case arrives next monday so I boxed the monitor again and seriously cant wait any longer.
only works with displayport cable?

how to connect g-sync laptop to lg monitor?
Nice video!, I have a question, I want to connect this monitor to my laptop, but the laptop does not have DisplayPort, so I used an adapter from DisplayPort to usb and then connected to the laptop it worked but the thing is that the interface on the monitor is bigger (1920x1080) and not really good resolution, I would like to know how can I fix it, please and thanks in advance !

You have that nice custom setup, with the most basic RGB gaming keyboard, go grab a custom one!
Would this also work with GTX 1650 cards? Or only the 10 & 20 series cards you mentioned?
Nice it woks good on my 4k freesync screen just need a gpu to drive it lol! :)
Does it work on lg 22mp68vq
G sync and Freesync while making your game look better, it causes input lag which is unbearable in competitive e sports games. So pros doesn't use it, but for some of you guys that is causal players it is really beneficial.
I don't get it, why would Nvidia allow this to happen? Doesn't it ruin to point of selling G-Synch monitors?

LG wonder if this one will also work
Dose Samsung chg70 word with GTX 1070 or rtx 2080ti ؟؟؟؟
But flickering takes place in Lg24gm79g with g sync enabled
Hi, 24GL600F-B LG Monitor support g-sync? thanks !!!
Still not going for nvidia. Took them waaay too long to implement this and together with the gpp shitshow I won't buy nvidia for a while.
the whole joke is, is that the 34GK950F AND 34GK950G have been discontinued in the UK the only reason I know this as I wanted to purchase one and it was out of stock everywhere so I contacted LG UK and they said that they have been discontinued but the new 34GK950G-B and 34GK950F-B have just been released but there only currently available in the US I think. So sadly I can't get my hands on one of these yet was really wanting one as my monitor is on the brink of dying and I was so happy that I found these as they are perfect for what I wanted. :(
g-sync over hdmi is not currently supported, looks for non existing display port on the laptop :(
Is the 24GL600F-B also g-sync compatible?
Gsync with freesync monitor is the biggest thing nvidia done for us. Love my samsung 27chq70 1440p 144hz with HDR and gsync compatible.
I want the same but 30 inches, 34-35 diagonal is too big, I do not like to sit far from the monitor.
Is there a difference between a freesync moniter with gsync activated and a moniter that is just gsync?
