Gamers Nexus Hey Nexus. What about ultrawides? They mostly have 48-100 adaptive sync range - does it mean they wont pass the test by any chance because they wont reach 2.4 ration? Thank you! Ps: i just bought Benq ex3501r last week on a decent discount, so it's kinda important to me if i should keep or return that thing.
what gsync compatible means, is they can take the best of the best of free sync monitors, slap a gsync compatible label on it, and get some extra cash from monitor makers to get a gsync compatible label put on their monitors. in other words, nvidia is doing another power grab and forcing their will on monitor makers. top of the line freesync monitors are already within the extreme margins of gsync. yet...i kinda doubt reviewers will call them out on their bs. some of the issues of freesync monitor are low hz range monitors which are cheap crap. so...in top of the line freesync monitors, there is no issues, hence why nvidia wants to put a gsync label on it, so they can do yet another power grab and claim their "tech and standards are better than amd" which simply isn't the case. the top of the line freesync monitors already are quality controlled by the manufacturers themselves. simply put, ngreedia, wants to try to take even freesync from amd and they are going to get away with it cause no one is going to call them out for it.
Interesting info guys, quick note though, AMD did quietly revise their 2.5x refresh range requirement down to 2.0x for LFC to accommodate some monitors with 35-75 Hz and 70-144 Hz ranges
Do you know if this would apply to older monitors? For example, my MG279Q (one of the first Freesync monitors) had an initial FS range of 35-90Hz. I changed it to 57-144Hz, but it clearly struggles and flickers between or at at precisely 56-59 FPS. If I could change the range to 70-144Hz for example and retain LFC, that sounds awesome.
Any news about it working with Maxwell and will y'all check to see if it will work with older cards even though it's known to be only the last two generations of cards
People: “G-Sync monitors have special hardware that warrants an extra $200-300+ price tag. You can’t just flip a switch and get this.” NVIDIA: “We’re flipping the switch.” 4Head
Honestly, I had a lot of issues with tearing on my old 60Hz monitor but after I got my 144Hz monitor I am not noticing any tearing at all even if my fps drops to 60 and below. The monitor is just refreshing so quickly I can't really see the tearing unless I really try to see it in specific scenes. I don't really feel the need of any kind of adaptive sync at all.
You enable gsync and vsync (on by default) in the nvidia control panel. You leave vsync off in the game itself. Gsync works from like 30fps to your max refresh. Normally best to set frame limiter in game to your max refresh. No need tp turn down settings unless you're down below 60 a lot.
2 years passed and fucking same. All g-sync monitors categories on sites are actually g-sync compatible in the spects. I can't find a monitor with the actual g-sync module.
well ill just tell you that the monitor that he said was "ok" for him is a freesync 2 monitor. i have it. its a samsung chg70 most likely. i think the problem with it though is that overdrive only works from 120-144hz. if you stay in that range then it will look great most likely. lower fps is probalby where the problem is. of course samsung made monitors in 1080p and some that are less expensive int he same style as this one and maybe thats what they are. but they are all 144hz monitors. and im pretty sure thats my cgh70 with freesync 2 right there. but again if you can keep the fps above 120 you should be good. im sure a lot of monitors will have the same situation where with some settings or some ranges it will work fine.
and even out of the 120-144 hz range i think it just has a bit of blur or ghosting. nothing huge. i dont knwo about other freesync 2 montiors but i think similar probalby. to be honest if you play high refresh adaptive sync is over rated. for refresh rates around 60 its nice though
@@bobhumplick4213 yeah, i have the c32hg70. Idk which one specifically is there, but theyre probably the same thing anyway. Its probably the 32 inch one. Seems huge.
Don't use tv's for gaming, if that's what you're talking about. TV's have like 40ms delay. monitors have at MOST 5ms, and you can virtually always find ones with 1-2ms easily.
@@jasonterry1959 TV's these days have Game Mode settings that disable a lot of the delay inducing crap. For example, 2018 LG OLEDs have about 20 ms delay. That is plenty low enough unless you're a sweaty CS player or something like that.
It would be great if they released the full list with the monitors that failed, and on what they failed. That would give consumers a heads up if they plan to buy either the monitor or a GPU.
Really late reply but... on Nvidia's website there is a G-sync monitor list of passing monitors and what their specs are. So to answer your question, if the monitor is not on the list it has NOT been looked at by Nvidia. There are definitely manufacturers out there currently that are lying about their 'gysnc-compatible' status.
Its about time nvidia allows you to turn on a technology which, i feel, everyone needs to experience. It makes frame drops so much more bearable, especially at a high refresh rate
LFC on FreeSync used to require 2.5x between min and max, but that got relaxed down to 2x + 1 on a lot of panels. I'm not sure if AMD do per-panel validation before enabling LFC on monitors over 2x but under 2.5x, but would be a great question to ask them. I think NVIDIA (and AMD) want that extra buffer because jumping from min / max Hz could put a lot of strain on the scaler and cuz edge-case flickering.
gsync actually covers the complete range up to 144hz or 240hz now. Compared to amds much smaller freesync range. The module also covers other calibrations for color and brightness and does more overall compared to freesync so yes the module that costs 100-150$ more has more benefits over freesync.
@Eara Soulous a lot of people seam to think it goes from 1 to max on G-Sync, the modules have a minimum refresh rate, 30Hz, 40Hz 80Hz, when it goes bellow this range it uses LFR and repeats the last frame until it can catch up again.
I have a monitor that has the AMD FreeSync logo (www.acer.com/ac/de/CH/content/professional-model/UM.HB0EE.A11) But review websites say that it's 48-75Hz What the hell is happening? Where is the 2.0X ??
Normal Freesync turns itself off bellow it's minimum, Freesync with LFR repeats frames, and G-Sync also repeats frames, I don't know were this idea came from, but i don't recal NVidia ever saing such thing, tests have been made, it repeats frames.I do have a question, what would be the problem with LFR that even requires correction?
G-SYNC COMPATIBLE doesn't have the G-SYNC hardware, G-SYNC does have it. Probably doesn't make much of a difference, but I bet G-SYNC hardware is the only way to get G-SYNC ULTIMATE. There may be exceptions, but very few if any.
Idk why some of these other replies have beaten around the bush (no offense to anyone) but essentially: G-sync compatible monitors are monitors that have adaptive sync technology (which is the same thing as g-sync in theory) except it is not made by nvidia. It does not have nvidia's gsync module inside the monitor like Edsknife said. Adapative sync monitors are generally cheaper than Gsync monitors, and imo they're extremely worth it if you have an Nvidia gpu and the monitor is g-sync compatible. This basically just means that your monitor does not have Nvidia's special hardware for their "gsync" but they've released software that allows adapative sync monitors to use their "gsync technology" with a compatible nvidia gpu. Gsync monitors came out and only worked with Nvidia cards; then Nvidia made an assload of money because the technology was exclusive and they claimed "This is groundbreaking technology, you can't just flip a switch and make it work" but then they made it available to way more people by adding cross-compatibility with adaptive sync monitors. tl;dr: it basically doesn't matter, G-sync compatible monitors are probably going to be cheaper than a "g-sync monitor" and it does basically the same thing.
I have a 970 with the new drivers and an Acer XFA240 (G-Sync Compatible) and it works fine, I don’t think your graphic card matters as long as you can get high enough frame rate.
@@ybeef5883 That might actually be true yeah. They just cannot certify it due to tests they've run. Their site says that Maxwell cards (such as your 970) are not free-sync compatible, but are G-sync compatible. Since you have a monitor that's G-sync compatible and you have an Nvidia card, it works for you, thanks to their software. I'm getting a G-sync compatible monitor this xmas for my 1660 and I cannot wait
VESA Adaptive Sync is the standard (VESA also sets the standard for Display Port). "FreeSync" is AMDs marketing term for it. "GSync Compatible" is Nvidias marketing name for it.
I wouldn't count on it considering how old that architecture is at this point. I just looked online and none of the Maxwell cards support freesync. Only pascal and newer cards are supporting it. Unfortunate, but it seems almost all Nvidia cards will support g-sync (obviously) although it's just really expensive...
forum.notebookreview.com/threads/gsync-flickering-black-screen-fix.805851/ They have just proven that gsync on laptops is indeed freesync. They may have the same flicker problems as shown in the video.
No it means that previously freesync screens will go through a cert process at a cost. That will be passed onto the customer, regardless of what team you buy. Expect freesync screens to shoot up in cost.
@@FlacidDonkeyGuy There's not any requirement on the manufacturers to go through the certification process. I'm guessing G-Sync will remain a 'premium' level, while the Freesync/VESA Adaptive Sync will largely remain static. There may be some resulting diversification and extension of product stacks, but there's still going to be the 'base' freesync monitors out there. They just might not play nice with team green.
@@FlacidDonkeyGuy It means Nvidia is supporting VESA Adaptive Sync (which *is* FreeSync). Not every display is going to undergo certification; if a display definitely won't pass (like 6-bit + FRC 1080p TN), there's no point in sending it. Additionally, you can use *any* FreeSync display regardless of whether it's "G-Sync Compatible", you just have to enable VRR manually. G-Sync Compatible displays will automatically have VRR enabled.
It wont cost anything, it's just using VESA Adaptive Sync that is free to use, Nvidia are only testing to see what screens give a good enough quality picture that they can recommend, which is good because if you buy a Freesync monitor and it say flickers it's your own fault for buying one, it's bad sync that causes issues and you get some of these bad effects on AMD cards too, it's the screen manufacturers fault for not getting the sync timing right.
Steve, is there any benefit to having a physical gsync module anymore? I guess some comparison between a gsync compatible monitor and an actual gsync monitor would be interesting. I assume Nvidia isn't just going to abandon their traditional gsync modules.
gsync covers the complete range between 1-240hz now I believe making it a much smoother and cleaner experience that is what the module mainly does. It handles some calibration for colors and for brightness as well. Ultimate will do all of that plus a few other things. Once again misinformation that gsync and freesync are the exact same they are not. Gsync does much more for the experience of the user at a cost for that benefit.
@@paco4756 yes it does freesync instead repeats frames usually instead. Sometimes mutlipule times. You get flickering or stuttering or both sometimes with it..
@@yulfine1688 The 1-240 is a bit of a lie, but it's much wider than Freesync panels anyway. But i do agree, that anything with Gsync is overall a better experience.
Someone like Steve needs to actually test these once they roll it out. One of the major weaknesses of freesync displays is much higher input lag without the gsync hardware onboard. See tftcentral's LG 950F/950G reviews for info on this (same panel, one with gsync and one with freesync). My guess is that the "Gsync Compatible" displays without the actual hardware on them will have input lag more similar to freesync displays, which is to say worse. Say what you will about the gsync pricing strategy, but there are valid reasons why Nvidia opted to use a hardware solution.
Question. I have a Samsung u28d590d 60hz 4k freesync monitor,it looks amazing but being I have a1080 ti ftw3 I upgraded to an alienware 240hz 1080p gsync display. I miss the 4k and really notice the lower resolution. Being that now possibly I could use gsync on the 4k display... Would you? Could you go from 240hz to 60hz for the resolution upgrade if both had gsync? Thanks cause I was about to sell the 4k monitor for $200 not sure if I should now
I personally prefer a higher resolution over higher frames in most of my games. I have a 4k screen and absolutely cannot go back to 1080 no matter the frame rate, it's just too jarring after using a higher resolution. I've regretted my upgrade to 4k60 ever since testing 1440/144, that seems to be the sweet spot as the difference between 1440 and 4k is practically unnoticeable in the games I play (arena shooters, FPS and city builders (the last one may be the exception)
@@corenne i am going to hook up my 4k and see if gsync works on it now.. if so at the very least I could sell it much easier.. cause I would like to sell both of mine and get 1440/144 as well.. perfect balance.. i paid a premium just to get gsync and honestly i cant tell a difference lol
Except for piece of shit “freesync” monitors. they tested 400 monitors. 12 passed. Curious as to how many owners of those 388 non valid monitors think it’s 1:1 with gsync.
deez nuts gsync is not better. You can find high end freesync monitors that is just as good as any gsync monitor. But when you pay for a cheap freesync monitor of course it's not going to be so good as an overpriced gsync one. Long story short. Gsync is overpriced, consumers hate it, manufacturers hate it, the nvidia tax ruins the value. Freesync gives consumers more choice for cheaper monitors. gsync is dead but nvidia will push hard to suck money out of brands with the "Gsync compatible" bullshit on freesync monitors. Also try and come with proof that gsync is better other than nvidia's lies, because it doesnt exist
@Spliffer45 ha name one gsync monitor that doesn't have a freesync monitor with just as good adaptive sync. Adaptive sync is simple to do, the shitty module is just horrible tax, come with some argument because "display scaling"isn't even used when you run a monitor at native refresh rate Ghosting, overdrive and other things are down to the panel and monitor, not the sync technology.
@Spliffer45 and why foes that fpga have to be locked down? Let manufacturers use the monitor they want and run the adaptive sync over the display port/newer HDMI. The gsync FPGA is probably good but there is nothing stopping manufacturers getting a just ad good FPGA but much cheaper because it doesnt have the nvidia tax. And again for the actual technology, its the same. Countless test have been done on monitors that have similar panels and so on. Same input latency, same amount if ghosting and same performsnce overall. Gsync is overpriced plain and simple
1080p 144hz freesync + RX 580 here. As my first build moving over from console gaming the difference is awesome. It really did improve my gameplay in shooters, which most likely is due to the combination of mouse over gamepad and higher refresh rates, but still. My girlfriend can't play LOL on her 60hz laptop any more without it feeling laggy now either. Yay for high refresh rates and adaptive sync!
Now that nvidia cards support FreeSync, does this mean manufacturers will stop producing newer products with midrange gsync panels like Acer xb271hu/Dell S2417DG/S2716DG or will similar new monitors continue to be produced?
LG 34UC79G, no go. Flickering all over. Shame...i think nvidia will not support all FS monitors because of the stupid GSYNC. The tech is there, but i think they will not fully develop it for all FS displays...
I have the XFA240 and I just bought a KG271U and Freesync works flawlessly on there and it isnt labeled as "Compatible". Works in every game. I now set a limit on all my games for 141 so I can use the Syncing capability. I feel like out of the 400 they tested. My new monitor wasnt in there. They should update again and all all the monitors that people report working perfect, like myself, as G-Sync Compatible". My VRR is 40 - 144Hz. Rare when i actually dip down to 40 FPS on a 1070 at 1440p
Nvidia's adaptive sync support needs to be investigated. The demo showed here was also covered by PCGamer. The commenters figured out that Nvidia used LG monitors as examples of unworking (blinking, flashing) except that no one with AMD cards have those issues. They then found that those symptoms will happen if you try to force the monitor into an adaptive sync range it doesn't support. What that means is that Nvidia is not following the adaptive sync specification. If they were they would read the monitor's EDID for the adaptive sync range and then act accordingly. Nvidia is basically trying to shoehorn their proprietary GSync approach into the adaptive sync standard and then claim compatible. It's Gsync that isn't doing what it should not that the monitors are an issue.
I have a freesync monitor and it flickers even in the supported range. The range is 48-100. There is some flickering around 80 and below 56 it's unplayable.
The Acer XB253Q panels are "G-Sync Compatible", yet they have unavoidable ghosting. My non-certified previous monitor had better performance with G-Sync. So I'm not sure why pixel overshoot wouldn't be part of the tests that they run.
2:00 I think that's my screen on the left, 34" LG 34UC79G-B. and I do get the random occasional what seems to be a single black frame. but that doesn't seam to happen until my EVGA SC 1070 gets up to 85c in Destiny 2 frames capped at 100fps. I also capped my refresh rate at 100hz in windows/nvidia control panel, since most of my games don't realistically play at a constant 144fps.
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).
So hdr ultra gysnc starts at 75hz? If you have a 2080ti and game at 4k you'll probably hit that, a lot....like I've been saying my main worry with this gimmick is what the user perceives when that switch from on to off occurs. Right now there's a big ole box that says *GSYNC DISPLAY CONNECTED* and a screen flash.
So i recently got ACER Nitro VG271U 2k monitor @144hz .. freesync1 and paired it with my already 1080ti ... Holyshite, its Gsync compatible, i played euro truck 2 on 2k - 144 fps, mafia3 ultra setting on 2k - 110fps ... m yet to test many games. besides there is no ghosting or flickering, being a IPS screen colors are awesome. This monitor is worth every penny, just go for it.
Gsync compatible not work as good as Gsync module at lower refresh is higher 48-165 at freesync or Gsync module is from 1-165. Flicker bad experience with Gsync compatible.
Still not buying a gsync monitor and next card might very well be AMD. Sick and tired of nvidia bullshit. I have a 1080ti but would rather exchange it with an equivalent AMD then a 2080ti, not because I can't afford a 2080ti but simple because enough is enough.
This might sound like a pretty silly question so apologies in advance - Is this whole concept the same as saying Nvidia have developed software to enable their GPUs to work with AMD FreeSync now, and instead of calling it that, they're calling it as AMD FreeSync monitors being G-Sync compatible ? I hope I"m making sense. Is another way to look at it just to say that AMD FreeSync being open technology, has enabled Nvidia to make their GPUs compatible with FreeSync ?
Steve do you think they'll extend this "G-Sync compatible" support to Maxwell cards? I have the AOC G2590FX monitor with my 980ti, so no adaptive sync for me :(
The big question is why do so many monitors have problems? I mean this is a VESA standard so if it does not work either Nvidia or the monitor vendor has violated the spec. If Nvidia has violated the spec why even bother all this testing instead of just fixing it (at least for new products) If so many monitor vendors have violated the spec then shame on them because they are charging extra money for advertising their monitor as compatible. Or are all the monitors that partially work not even officially suppirting adaptive sync but somehow still work to some extend?
How to find out the freesync (or now gsync) range of a monitor if it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere on the manufacturer website or the printed manual? I have a Samsung C34H890WJU monitor. I would assume the range is 48-100 since that's what most Samsung 100Hz monitors use but is there a test to find out for sure?
Drops below 40 fps on a 60hz monitor ** quits game to desktop "looks like you've connected a gsync display"** thanks I'll fuckin pass. Going to be shitty.
Two of monitors that they mentioned were the Asus : XG248 and XG258. I googled both of these but for some reason i only see XG248Q & XG258Q (Rog Strix versions). Are these the monitors they are referring to?
Cool story bro. But... nVidia if you expect me to pay 350+ $ for a mid range card ... You must be friking insane, or maybe you fell and hit your head. So at least for me... what monitor is cool enough for people that fell and hit their heads, is not really relevant . Wont even talk about prices on the high end GPUs , you dont even have a die shrink, just strapped on new shinny memory from third party , oh and the RTX that somewhat simulates natural light, maybe a good enough emulation , but not worth the prince on same process GPU.
you do realize all selected "GSync compatible" monitors are of high panel quality. because if its low tier monitors there wouldn't be any difference between freesync and Gsync. and AMD has Freesync 2 certification program (for high end monitors) lul.
Ok, that didn't clarify enough. Here's more. All FreeSync2 monitors should pass Gsync Compatibility. All older FreeSync monitors can be used, main issue is VRR but there can be.. quibbles. Once you test a monitor, you can submit feedback to Nvidia apparently on the brand and issues. All monitors that get over 300 positive reviews get moved to the Gsync Compatible branch. It's crowdsourced and realistically, unless i guess it's a shit display with shit VRR and quality, which means it was a scam to begin with, it will probably end up on that list eventually. Not that it matters much. One thing not really adressed is that the current feature is ONLY active on Pascal/Turing. That means no 980's or even any older, down to 7xx. That's a huge chunk of cards which realistically aren't that different. This is almost certainly an Nvidia strongarm move to make people that are still on those platforms to upgrade to currently produced models. I am almost certain that someone will hack the drivers to allow compatibility with Maxwell within the first month. Nvidia will freak and we'll probably at least get Maxwell compatibility within six months. Gsync monitors will still be produced, and Gsync still offers a better solution than any other Async, however the price point will continue to be a problem. There's a lot of other technologies in play here ULMB and HDR and various ways in which that interacts or doesn't interact with your Async solution.
are older cards like the 900 and 700 series going to be compatible with gsync compatibles? they do support normal gsync, though I can only find the 10 and 20 series cards in nvidias info www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/g-sync-ces-2019-announcements/
Screw Nvidia, they have conveniently left all but the 10 and 20 series cards out of this adaptive sync. Really starting to hate them. What this REALLY is is this video right here. ua-cam.com/video/BOsCvRRTAgw/v-deo.html
My viewsonic has a freesync range of 48 to 144hz. Is that a good vr range? Using your equation it comes out at 3. Really hope it works. Will be great to just not be locked into either ecosystem
Has anyone seen these flaws on Freesync monitors before? or is this just a flaw with Nvidia? I would think if you had the flickering like the one monitor is showing one of the hundreds of UA-cam tech sites would have raged about it over the passed two years. Any links? Any videos?
i didnt quite understand the 2.4 and 2.5 refresh thing i have a freesync monitor thats 48-75hz so if i fall below the 48fps then illget a double frame? if it works on my monitor? did i get that right
Do you get more quality if you use a monitor with actual g sync built in as to one that is free sync with g sync enabled, like a asus Swift pg258q vs asus strix xg258q
that occasional flicker in which it shows a black frame isn't something that can just be patched for those monitors? maybe like an extra toggle to fix this behaviour? seems more like software issue on nvidia side

Does this mean that many lower priced Freesync monitors probably won't work with adaptive sync?
would Freesync still have a Massive fps loss if used with SLi like G-sync does?
Isnt Freesync normally
45 fps / 45 hz
75 fps / 75 hz
90 fps / 90hz
144 fps / 144hz

Honestly, flickering is worse than tearing.
Jeg Heter stuttering and flickering is worse than tearing because at least you aren’t missing a frame
only if your FPS is higher than your Refresh rate.
Honestly, I had a lot of issues with tearing on my old 60Hz monitor but after I got my 144Hz monitor I am not noticing any tearing at all even if my fps drops to 60 and below.
The monitor is just refreshing so quickly I can't really see the tearing unless I really try to see it in specific scenes.
I don't really feel the need of any kind of adaptive sync at all.
I would rather have 144hz with tearing than 144hz with flickering.
@@parsastrife6629 144hz still tears, but the tears are much smaller because of the 2.5x refresh rate increase.
500k subs! Congrats guys!
You enable gsync and vsync (on by default) in the nvidia control panel. You leave vsync off in the game itself.
Gsync works from like 30fps to your max refresh. Normally best to set frame limiter in game to your max refresh. No need tp turn down settings unless you're down below 60 a lot.
I can't seem to find a single fucking G Sync monitor because everywhere is so diluted with this "G-SYNC Compatible" false advertising bullshit.

Freesync 2 monitors should have a great compatibilty with Gsync, right ?
In theory yes! www.amd.com/en/products/freesync-monitors
They should. I’m hopeful because I just bought a Freesync 2 1440p running a Nvidia card, as I refuse to pay for Gsync.
well ill just tell you that the monitor that he said was "ok" for him is a freesync 2 monitor. i have it. its a samsung chg70 most likely. i think the problem with it though is that overdrive only works from 120-144hz. if you stay in that range then it will look great most likely. lower fps is probalby where the problem is. of course samsung made monitors in 1080p and some that are less expensive int he same style as this one and maybe thats what they are. but they are all 144hz monitors. and im pretty sure thats my cgh70 with freesync 2 right there. but again if you can keep the fps above 120 you should be good. im sure a lot of monitors will have the same situation where with some settings or some ranges it will work fine.
and even out of the 120-144 hz range i think it just has a bit of blur or ghosting. nothing huge. i dont knwo about other freesync 2 montiors but i think similar probalby. to be honest if you play high refresh adaptive sync is over rated. for refresh rates around 60 its nice though
@@bobhumplick4213 yeah, i have the c32hg70. Idk which one specifically is there, but theyre probably the same thing anyway. Its probably the 32 inch one. Seems huge.
I would love to hear about any plans for HDMI 2.1 support (4K TVs, like the just announced LG OLEDs).
That's what I'm most excited to hear about besides the BFGD. I really hope it gets more coverage
Don't use tv's for gaming, if that's what you're talking about. TV's have like 40ms delay. monitors have at MOST 5ms, and you can virtually always find ones with 1-2ms easily.
@@jasonterry1959 HDMI 2.1 meaningfully addresses latency.
Nvidia doesn't support adaptive sync at all over HDMI, only displayport.
@@jasonterry1959 TV's these days have Game Mode settings that disable a lot of the delay inducing crap. For example, 2018 LG OLEDs have about 20 ms delay. That is plenty low enough unless you're a sweaty CS player or something like that.
It would be great if they released the full list with the monitors that failed, and on what they failed. That would give consumers a heads up if they plan to buy either the monitor or a GPU.
AlphaPT we are speculating companies paid to be on the list.
Really late reply but... on Nvidia's website there is a G-sync monitor list of passing monitors and what their specs are. So to answer your question, if the monitor is not on the list it has NOT been looked at by Nvidia. There are definitely manufacturers out there currently that are lying about their 'gysnc-compatible' status.
Its about time nvidia allows you to turn on a technology which, i feel, everyone needs to experience. It makes frame drops so much more bearable, especially at a high refresh rate
LFC on FreeSync used to require 2.5x between min and max, but that got relaxed down to 2x + 1 on a lot of panels. I'm not sure if AMD do per-panel validation before enabling LFC on monitors over 2x but under 2.5x, but would be a great question to ask them.
I think NVIDIA (and AMD) want that extra buffer because jumping from min / max Hz could put a lot of strain on the scaler and cuz edge-case flickering.
gsync actually covers the complete range up to 144hz or 240hz now. Compared to amds much smaller freesync range. The module also covers other calibrations for color and brightness and does more overall compared to freesync so yes the module that costs 100-150$ more has more benefits over freesync.
@Eara Soulous a lot of people seam to think it goes from 1 to max on G-Sync, the modules have a minimum refresh rate, 30Hz, 40Hz 80Hz, when it goes bellow this range it uses LFR and repeats the last frame until it can catch up again.
I have a monitor that has the AMD FreeSync logo (www.acer.com/ac/de/CH/content/professional-model/UM.HB0EE.A11)
But review websites say that it's 48-75Hz
What the hell is happening? Where is the 2.0X ??
@@chibanga88 that's what freesync does...gsync covers the entire range.
Normal Freesync turns itself off bellow it's minimum, Freesync with LFR repeats frames, and G-Sync also repeats frames, I don't know were this idea came from, but i don't recal NVidia ever saing such thing, tests have been made, it repeats frames.I do have a question, what would be the problem with LFR that even requires correction?
I don't feel like this video answered the question in the title. I get now what non-compatible means.
So there is no Maxwell compatibility? Or Maxwell just get it later?

So what's the difference between g sync compatible vs g sync???
i still dont know wtf the difference between g sync and g sync compatible means
G-SYNC COMPATIBLE doesn't have the G-SYNC hardware, G-SYNC does have it. Probably doesn't make much of a difference, but I bet G-SYNC hardware is the only way to get G-SYNC ULTIMATE. There may be exceptions, but very few if any.
@@edsknife You would make a very patient teacher
G-sync compatible just means that it's been tested by nvidia and didn't have and noticable issues when using G-sync.
You can't get 4k 120hz hdr without the g-sync module I believe. No tvs or monitor will be powerful enough to hit 4k 120hz without the module.
Idk why some of these other replies have beaten around the bush (no offense to anyone) but essentially: G-sync compatible monitors are monitors that have adaptive sync technology (which is the same thing as g-sync in theory) except it is not made by nvidia. It does not have nvidia's gsync module inside the monitor like Edsknife said. Adapative sync monitors are generally cheaper than Gsync monitors, and imo they're extremely worth it if you have an Nvidia gpu and the monitor is g-sync compatible. This basically just means that your monitor does not have Nvidia's special hardware for their "gsync" but they've released software that allows adapative sync monitors to use their "gsync technology" with a compatible nvidia gpu. Gsync monitors came out and only worked with Nvidia cards; then Nvidia made an assload of money because the technology was exclusive and they claimed "This is groundbreaking technology, you can't just flip a switch and make it work" but then they made it available to way more people by adding cross-compatibility with adaptive sync monitors.
tl;dr: it basically doesn't matter, G-sync compatible monitors are probably going to be cheaper than a "g-sync monitor" and it does basically the same thing.
Thank you Tech Jesus, the only CES coverage I actually want to see
Remember that this is only for gtx 10xx and higher
I have a 970 with the new drivers and an Acer XFA240 (G-Sync Compatible) and it works fine, I don’t think your graphic card matters as long as you can get high enough frame rate.
@@ybeef5883 That might actually be true yeah. They just cannot certify it due to tests they've run. Their site says that Maxwell cards (such as your 970) are not free-sync compatible, but are G-sync compatible. Since you have a monitor that's G-sync compatible and you have an Nvidia card, it works for you, thanks to their software. I'm getting a G-sync compatible monitor this xmas for my 1660 and I cannot wait
3:07 OH HELL YEAH!!! my monitors compatible
SuperDan what's you montor
VESA Adaptive Sync is the standard (VESA also sets the standard for Display Port).
"FreeSync" is AMDs marketing term for it.
"GSync Compatible" is Nvidias marketing name for it.
I think AMD supports it over HDMI too in certain setups, but Nvidia is displayport only
@@BUDA20 yep, freesync over HDMI is why X-box can do it.
I have a Pascal and Maxwell machine is Maxwell going to get support for this?
Will there be Maxwell support later on?
I wouldn't count on it considering how old that architecture is at this point. I just looked online and none of the Maxwell cards support freesync. Only pascal and newer cards are supporting it. Unfortunate, but it seems almost all Nvidia cards will support g-sync (obviously) although it's just really expensive...
Congrats on 500K!

They have just proven that gsync on laptops is indeed freesync. They may have the same flicker problems as shown in the video.
"Everything just works." - Jensen Huang
It means it supports VESA Adaptive Sync, doesn't it?
No it means that previously freesync screens will go through a cert process at a cost. That will be passed onto the customer, regardless of what team you buy. Expect freesync screens to shoot up in cost.
yep 2:17
@@FlacidDonkeyGuy thx Nvidia
@@FlacidDonkeyGuy There's not any requirement on the manufacturers to go through the certification process. I'm guessing G-Sync will remain a 'premium' level, while the Freesync/VESA Adaptive Sync will largely remain static. There may be some resulting diversification and extension of product stacks, but there's still going to be the 'base' freesync monitors out there. They just might not play nice with team green.
@@FlacidDonkeyGuy It means Nvidia is supporting VESA Adaptive Sync (which *is* FreeSync). Not every display is going to undergo certification; if a display definitely won't pass (like 6-bit + FRC 1080p TN), there's no point in sending it. Additionally, you can use *any* FreeSync display regardless of whether it's "G-Sync Compatible", you just have to enable VRR manually. G-Sync Compatible displays will automatically have VRR enabled.
how much will it cost to get "GSync Compatible" branding?
why would it cost, its just freesync monitor that passed their test or some other bs
@@jeder6915 nvidia has to test it and hell no will they do it for free
It wont cost anything, it's just using VESA Adaptive Sync that is free to use, Nvidia are only testing to see what screens give a good enough quality picture that they can recommend, which is good because if you buy a Freesync monitor and it say flickers it's your own fault for buying one, it's bad sync that causes issues and you get some of these bad effects on AMD cards too, it's the screen manufacturers fault for not getting the sync timing right.
@@wing0zero Yeah i know that but its NVIDIA so i want a public statment that it wont cost a penny more so that if t does that we can sue them, simple.
@@dongurudebro4579
If they did go up it's down to the manufacturer not Nvidia, they have no control in the pricing of say a Asus Freesync monitor.
Steve, is there any benefit to having a physical gsync module anymore? I guess some comparison between a gsync compatible monitor and an actual gsync monitor would be interesting. I assume Nvidia isn't just going to abandon their traditional gsync modules.
gsync covers the complete range between 1-240hz now I believe making it a much smoother and cleaner experience that is what the module mainly does. It handles some calibration for colors and for brightness as well. Ultimate will do all of that plus a few other things. Once again misinformation that gsync and freesync are the exact same they are not. Gsync does much more for the experience of the user at a cost for that benefit.
@@yulfine1688 though drivers could make the card double up a frame in case the next one takes longer to render.
@@paco4756 yes it does freesync instead repeats frames usually instead. Sometimes mutlipule times. You get flickering or stuttering or both sometimes with it..
@@yulfine1688 The 1-240 is a bit of a lie, but it's much wider than Freesync panels anyway. But i do agree, that anything with Gsync is overall a better experience.
@@Cosmitzian yeah it is. Its 1-144 originally pretty sure ultimate is the only one that covers the 240 range which is probably 200. Lol
u need to make this video in ur studio mate. You cant criticize while nvidia watching over u from there lol
Someone like Steve needs to actually test these once they roll it out. One of the major weaknesses of freesync displays is much higher input lag without the gsync hardware onboard. See tftcentral's LG 950F/950G reviews for info on this (same panel, one with gsync and one with freesync). My guess is that the "Gsync Compatible" displays without the actual hardware on them will have input lag more similar to freesync displays, which is to say worse.
Say what you will about the gsync pricing strategy, but there are valid reasons why Nvidia opted to use a hardware solution.
Question. I have a Samsung u28d590d 60hz 4k freesync monitor,it looks amazing but being I have a1080 ti ftw3 I upgraded to an alienware 240hz 1080p gsync display. I miss the 4k and really notice the lower resolution. Being that now possibly I could use gsync on the 4k display... Would you? Could you go from 240hz to 60hz for the resolution upgrade if both had gsync? Thanks cause I was about to sell the 4k monitor for $200 not sure if I should now
I personally prefer a higher resolution over higher frames in most of my games. I have a 4k screen and absolutely cannot go back to 1080 no matter the frame rate, it's just too jarring after using a higher resolution. I've regretted my upgrade to 4k60 ever since testing 1440/144, that seems to be the sweet spot as the difference between 1440 and 4k is practically unnoticeable in the games I play (arena shooters, FPS and city builders (the last one may be the exception)
@@corenne i am going to hook up my 4k and see if gsync works on it now.. if so at the very least I could sell it much easier.. cause I would like to sell both of mine and get 1440/144 as well.. perfect balance.. i paid a premium just to get gsync and honestly i cant tell a difference lol
gsync compatible means adaptive-sync compatibility failure by nvidia.. 400 tests nvidia passed 12 times.. nvidia fails..
It just works.
Steve: stop upvoting for the memes
me: upvotes the meme
Except for piece of shit “freesync” monitors. they tested 400 monitors. 12 passed. Curious as to how many owners of those 388 non valid monitors think it’s 1:1 with gsync.
"It just works, bitches" - Richard Dawkins
Gsync is dead in all but name. Great day for consumers.
not quite, since the top gaming monitors will still have it. gsync is better than adaptive sync.
deez nuts gsync is not better. You can find high end freesync monitors that is just as good as any gsync monitor. But when you pay for a cheap freesync monitor of course it's not going to be so good as an overpriced gsync one.
Long story short. Gsync is overpriced, consumers hate it, manufacturers hate it, the nvidia tax ruins the value. Freesync gives consumers more choice for cheaper monitors. gsync is dead but nvidia will push hard to suck money out of brands with the "Gsync compatible" bullshit on freesync monitors.
Also try and come with proof that gsync is better other than nvidia's lies, because it doesnt exist
@Spliffer45 ha name one gsync monitor that doesn't have a freesync monitor with just as good adaptive sync. Adaptive sync is simple to do, the shitty module is just horrible tax, come with some argument because "display scaling"isn't even used when you run a monitor at native refresh rate
Ghosting, overdrive and other things are down to the panel and monitor, not the sync technology.
@Spliffer45 and why foes that fpga have to be locked down? Let manufacturers use the monitor they want and run the adaptive sync over the display port/newer HDMI. The gsync FPGA is probably good but there is nothing stopping manufacturers getting a just ad good FPGA but much cheaper because it doesnt have the nvidia tax. And again for the actual technology, its the same. Countless test have been done on monitors that have similar panels and so on. Same input latency, same amount if ghosting and same performsnce overall. Gsync is overpriced plain and simple
He said not the memes so I immediately came to the comments to check if anyone has asked "What CPU is this?"
1080p 144hz freesync + RX 580 here. As my first build moving over from console gaming the difference is awesome. It really did improve my gameplay in shooters, which most likely is due to the combination of mouse over gamepad and higher refresh rates, but still. My girlfriend can't play LOL on her 60hz laptop any more without it feeling laggy now either. Yay for high refresh rates and adaptive sync!
Now that nvidia cards support FreeSync, does this mean manufacturers will stop producing newer products with midrange gsync panels like Acer xb271hu/Dell S2417DG/S2716DG or will similar new monitors continue to be produced?
[input meme here]
Lets get this to the top...
I’m here for Des Memes.
LG 34UC79G, no go. Flickering all over. Shame...i think nvidia will not support all FS monitors because of the stupid GSYNC. The tech is there, but i think they will not fully develop it for all FS displays...
When updated drivers will be available to download?
I heard 15 Jan to coincide with the 2060
I have the XFA240 and I just bought a KG271U and Freesync works flawlessly on there and it isnt labeled as "Compatible". Works in every game. I now set a limit on all my games for 141 so I can use the Syncing capability. I feel like out of the 400 they tested. My new monitor wasnt in there. They should update again and all all the monitors that people report working perfect, like myself, as G-Sync Compatible". My VRR is 40 - 144Hz. Rare when i actually dip down to 40 FPS on a 1070 at 1440p
Nvidia's adaptive sync support needs to be investigated. The demo showed here was also covered by PCGamer. The commenters figured out that Nvidia used LG monitors as examples of unworking (blinking, flashing) except that no one with AMD cards have those issues. They then found that those symptoms will happen if you try to force the monitor into an adaptive sync range it doesn't support. What that means is that Nvidia is not following the adaptive sync specification. If they were they would read the monitor's EDID for the adaptive sync range and then act accordingly. Nvidia is basically trying to shoehorn their proprietary GSync approach into the adaptive sync standard and then claim compatible. It's Gsync that isn't doing what it should not that the monitors are an issue.
do you have any sources? souds like a good read
I have a freesync monitor and it flickers even in the supported range. The range is 48-100. There is some flickering around 80 and below 56 it's unplayable.
The Acer XB253Q panels are "G-Sync Compatible", yet they have unavoidable ghosting. My non-certified previous monitor had better performance with G-Sync. So I'm not sure why pixel overshoot wouldn't be part of the tests that they run.
2:00 I think that's my screen on the left, 34" LG 34UC79G-B. and I do get the random occasional what seems to be a single black frame. but that doesn't seam to happen until my EVGA SC 1070 gets up to 85c in Destiny 2 frames capped at 100fps. I also capped my refresh rate at 100hz in windows/nvidia control panel, since most of my games don't realistically play at a constant 144fps.
What "GSync Compatible" actually means is "Compatible with nVidia's Pathetic VESA Adaptive Sync Implementation".
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).
So hdr ultra gysnc starts at 75hz? If you have a 2080ti and game at 4k you'll probably hit that, a lot....like I've been saying my main worry with this gimmick is what the user perceives when that switch from on to off occurs. Right now there's a big ole box that says *GSYNC DISPLAY CONNECTED* and a screen flash.
Credit where credit is due: I appreciate NVidia giving users the ability to turn on adaptive sync, even if their monitor isn’t approved.
So i recently got ACER Nitro VG271U 2k monitor @144hz .. freesync1 and paired it with my already 1080ti ... Holyshite, its Gsync compatible, i played euro truck 2 on 2k - 144 fps, mafia3 ultra setting on 2k - 110fps ... m yet to test many games. besides there is no ghosting or flickering, being a IPS screen colors are awesome. This monitor is worth every penny, just go for it.
Gsync compatible not work as good as Gsync module at lower refresh is higher 48-165 at freesync or Gsync module is from 1-165. Flicker bad experience with Gsync compatible.
Wondering how the Dell S2719DGF is gonna do with my GTX 1060 :)
Bernard does the g sync compatible in Nvidia good for low and or high FPS? I’m considering it I have an Nvidia gpu
Still not buying a gsync monitor and next card might very well be AMD. Sick and tired of nvidia bullshit. I have a 1080ti but would rather exchange it with an equivalent AMD then a 2080ti, not because I can't afford a 2080ti but simple because enough is enough.
This might sound like a pretty silly question so apologies in advance - Is this whole concept the same as saying Nvidia have developed software to enable their GPUs to work with AMD FreeSync now, and instead of calling it that, they're calling it as AMD FreeSync monitors being G-Sync compatible ?
I hope I"m making sense. Is another way to look at it just to say that AMD FreeSync being open technology, has enabled Nvidia to make their GPUs compatible with FreeSync ?
GSYNC is an overpriced chip module. Nvidia happily charged consumer sheepies with this unnecessary POS chip module for years. Way to go NVIDIA!
Steve do you think they'll extend this "G-Sync compatible" support to Maxwell cards? I have the AOC G2590FX monitor with my 980ti, so no adaptive sync for me :(
The big question is why do so many monitors have problems? I mean this is a VESA standard so if it does not work either Nvidia or the monitor vendor has violated the spec.
If Nvidia has violated the spec why even bother all this testing instead of just fixing it (at least for new products)
If so many monitor vendors have violated the spec then shame on them because they are charging extra money for advertising their monitor as compatible.
Or are all the monitors that partially work not even officially suppirting adaptive sync but somehow still work to some extend?
How to find out the freesync (or now gsync) range of a monitor if it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere on the manufacturer website or the printed manual? I have a Samsung C34H890WJU monitor. I would assume the range is 48-100 since that's what most Samsung 100Hz monitors use but is there a test to find out for sure?
Drops below 40 fps on a 60hz monitor ** quits game to desktop "looks like you've connected a gsync display"** thanks I'll fuckin pass. Going to be shitty.
Two of monitors that they mentioned were the Asus : XG248 and XG258. I googled both of these but for some reason i only see XG248Q & XG258Q (Rog Strix versions). Are these the monitors they are referring to?
I have a Acer KG271U and it is actually a newer version of Acer XG270HU. I don't know why my monitor is not verified by Nvidia.
I can confirm that the AOC G2590FX DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY with G-SYNC as of 1/15/19. Blurry Image...
Cool story bro. But... nVidia if you expect me to pay 350+ $ for a mid range card ... You must be friking insane, or maybe you fell and hit your head. So at least for me... what monitor is cool enough for people that fell and hit their heads, is not really relevant . Wont even talk about prices on the high end GPUs , you dont even have a die shrink, just strapped on new shinny memory from third party , oh and the RTX that somewhat simulates natural light, maybe a good enough emulation , but not worth the prince on same process GPU.
you do realize all selected "GSync compatible" monitors are of high panel quality. because if its low tier monitors there wouldn't be any difference between freesync and Gsync. and AMD has Freesync 2 certification program (for high end monitors) lul.
Ok, that didn't clarify enough. Here's more. All FreeSync2 monitors should pass Gsync Compatibility. All older FreeSync monitors can be used, main issue is VRR but there can be.. quibbles. Once you test a monitor, you can submit feedback to Nvidia apparently on the brand and issues. All monitors that get over 300 positive reviews get moved to the Gsync Compatible branch. It's crowdsourced and realistically, unless i guess it's a shit display with shit VRR and quality, which means it was a scam to begin with, it will probably end up on that list eventually. Not that it matters much.
One thing not really adressed is that the current feature is ONLY active on Pascal/Turing. That means no 980's or even any older, down to 7xx. That's a huge chunk of cards which realistically aren't that different. This is almost certainly an Nvidia strongarm move to make people that are still on those platforms to upgrade to currently produced models. I am almost certain that someone will hack the drivers to allow compatibility with Maxwell within the first month. Nvidia will freak and we'll probably at least get Maxwell compatibility within six months.
Gsync monitors will still be produced, and Gsync still offers a better solution than any other Async, however the price point will continue to be a problem. There's a lot of other technologies in play here ULMB and HDR and various ways in which that interacts or doesn't interact with your Async solution.
RIP i really wanted to hook up my 960m laptop to my freesync display, guess not...
It's time for me to retire the 970, there is no use for it anymore...I am going AMD....The adaptive sync only works for 1000 series and above.
are older cards like the 900 and 700 series going to be compatible with gsync compatibles? they do support normal gsync, though I can only find the 10 and 20 series cards in nvidias info
www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/g-sync-ces-2019-announcements/
Let's hope the g-sync validated monitors don't start inflating their prices because they "sUpPoRt G-SyNc"
Screw Nvidia, they have conveniently left all but the 10 and 20 series cards out of this adaptive sync. Really starting to hate them. What this REALLY is is this video right here. ua-cam.com/video/BOsCvRRTAgw/v-deo.html
My viewsonic has a freesync range of 48 to 144hz. Is that a good vr range? Using your equation it comes out at 3. Really hope it works. Will be great to just not be locked into either ecosystem
Will Maxwell be supported in future?
Has anyone seen these flaws on Freesync monitors before? or is this just a flaw with Nvidia?
I would think if you had the flickering like the one monitor is showing one of the hundreds of UA-cam tech sites would have raged about it over the passed two years.
Any links?
Any videos?
So my freesync monitor with HDMI but no display port will not work? What about display port to HDMI cable?
i didnt quite understand the 2.4 and 2.5 refresh thing i have a freesync monitor thats 48-75hz so if i fall below the 48fps then illget a double frame? if it works on my monitor? did i get that right
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but, does that same monitor flicker when connected to an AMD card? If not, nVidia should be to blame for the flickering.
Do you get more quality if you use a monitor with actual g sync built in as to one that is free sync with g sync enabled, like a asus Swift pg258q vs asus strix xg258q
Anyone using the Samsung UJ59?
It's a VA 4K monitor with Fresync. I hope it may work.
Nvidia is trying to hijack the adaptive sync monitors to have G-Sync compatible slapped on the higher end Freesync displays.
My monitor has a blur and muddy feeling to the games I play, I quit gaming because of it. Can this be the source for the problem?
So having a g sync compatible monitor paired with my 3080 will it be good on warzone i bought the aw2731
Maybe just buy Vega and skip these gimmicks.
How do we know what monitors they've tested but didn't pass? They don't list them on their list... Could we call it a QVL?
i feel like this should be the biggest news at CES for gaming. and whatever happen to their BFG displays?
i hope they test all dell monitors and make them compatible as well. I just bought 2 2k monitors from dell with 155hz
that occasional flicker in which it shows a black frame isn't something that can just be patched for those monitors? maybe like an extra toggle to fix this behaviour? seems more like software issue on nvidia side
That 21:9 flickering looks sadly like my 34UM88-P ... fuck me
WTF i have 2 freesync monitors with no DP only HDMI, They won't work!!?
Even NVIDIA supports freesync, WAKE THE FUCK UP SONY
The gsync certification is just a smoke screen from nvidia to avoid admitting that they are unable to implement adaptive sync properly.
i would much rather have tears than stutters
what, did nvidia decide they made enough money on monitors so they'd throw gamers a bone? an effort to "add value" for rtx prices?
Noob question, will this work with the Nvidia S.H.I.E.L.D. pro?
Will maxwell and other older cards recieve support for gsync compatible monitors?
so how/where do I enable this for my CHG90 monitor to see if it works, or is acceptable for me?
Choose one brand of GPU but dont buy THIS,or Gsync,or Freesync,not the both.
Is it correct that Nvidia only supports Freesync on display port and not HDMI, and why is this?
Huge congrats on 500k guys, here's to a Million :)
Let's still call it AMD Freesync to give Nvidia the middle finger for not doing this years ago.
