G-Sync

Is G-sync just a meme? Is it worth paying a big premium for refresh rate?

Yes. No.

Everything G-sync does, freesync does it with less input lag.

G-sync deals has a lower minimum framerate than what freesync has but if you are buying an expensive as fuck monitor, you're probably buying a video card that wouldn't even dip that low anyways.

And for free, because some people arent kikes.

this is objectively wrong

Could nvidia just drop their meme and do it just like amd?

Not exactly free, it probably has a slight overhead cost for adding some small bits of hardware and making sure it complies with VESA Adaptive Sync specifications. G-Sync is an entirely separate circuit board + licensing fees.

Prove it.

Reminder, hdmi 2.1 does this natively and will deprecate them both.

And you won't see screens until 2018 that support it.

No sensible person would use HDMI for a PC unless it was the only port that their monitor comes with. Also, freesync is just AMD's marketing rebrand of the VESA Adaptive Sync specifications. So, in a way, HDMI 2.1 natively supports adaptive frame rate in the same way DP 1.4 natively supports adaptive sync.

Doesn't invalidate my point.

>no sensible person would use HDMI for PC

Why not, I am and it's working great.

Because
>muh fourkays

true i have a 60 hz monitor over hdmi and i had no issues at all

The freesync chips cost nvidia next to nothing to make, just like freesync.
It might be marginally better than freesync, but nvidia has 80% of the gpu market so they can overcharge about $250.

DP handles more image information than HDMI.
>inb4 audio
You probably shouldn't be using PC monitors in the first place.

Yes NVidia could use freesync aka adaptive sync.; in fact they already do on laptops. Laptop "gsync" is actually adaptive sync.

>Implying HD-SDI wouldn't do a better job all round

so im hoping that nvidia will stop this fucking overcharging

Got G-Sync monitor. Got memed. Not worth get freesync or just save your money.

Really? Whats so bad?

What can the new specification do better in such a way that it could "deprecate" the two other technologies that already do the job almost exactly the same way that a third competitor wouldn't make sense?

The price
You pay a fuckton more money just to be able to achieve a slightly wider adaptive sync range.

So If g-sync is not worth it what's a good alternative for someone with an nvidia gpu? the cheapeast monitor I found was a dell 27inch 1440p gsync for $500

Freesync is gaining a lot of traction recently, even outside desktops. I don't know, might make nvidia reconsider at least their proprietary hardware approach.

Not buying Nvidia proprietary junk?

Nothing, really. Nvidia are a bunch of jews since their cards can do VESA adaptive sync, they just don't want to implement it. You're pretty much stuck with having to use GSync if you really want that adaptive sync.

It doesn't require any additional hardware, and it will be supported by lot more hardware

This. Adaptive refresh rate on monitors is great, but only freesync is worth paying for.

Freesync is already part of the VESA specification, you tard. Also, I'm not touching any HDMI above 1.4 until they get that DRM nightmare sorted out.

How does the DRM nightmare effect you

HDCP, in general, is a big mess.

So with this whole HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 supporting Adaptive sync or whatever, would this completely eliminate the need for FreeSync/G-Sync entirely? If so, how would it do that? Would there be a point to even buying a G-Sync/FreeSync monitor if it has DP 1.4/HDMI 2.1?

FreeSync IS Adaptive-Sync.

lolno classic amdfag "underdog" syndrome

G-sync is much better than freesync and actually doesn't have a cap, unlike freetrash.

If you've got the money for it, then by all means go for it. It's absolutely amazing.

FreeSync is VESA Adaptive sync, you tard. The only reason why HDMI 2.1 adaptive frame rate exists is because the HDMI forum isn't VESA.

Nope, FreeSync is a proprietary version of the free Adaptive-Sync owned by AMD.

but doesn't FreeSync utilize some sort of chip or components to regulate frames?

The new Xbox Scorpio has freesync, not gsync because HDMI 2.1 supports variable frame rate without fancy proprietary bullshit.

There are only two kinds of adaptive refresh rate cap: the refresh rate of the monitor and the absolute lowest framerate that it can dip to. If you buying an overpriced G-Sync monitor, you probably aren't buying a video card that will never go that low.

On the display side, that adaptive-sync chip is an optional feature of DP-capable displays according to the VESA specifications. FreeSync is the video card implementation that allows video games to utilize the VESA specification.

Nope only Nvidia invented extra proprietary hardware to raise costs of their monitors.

Nope, its a straight up proprietary version of adaptive sync.

They could have just used the open standard but they wanted to put their brand on it.

This guy knows what he's talking about. Fuck the cancerous Nvidia fanboys using mommy's credit card to buy shit-ass Asus monitors for $900 lol.

(((wrong)))

Except that g-sync will go all the way up on your 144hz or whatever hz monitor, whereas freegarbage has a pathetically low range that is usually 75 or 90 something. There's a reason it's free, it's because it's trash.

>go on Sup Forums and spread FUD
>would a tripfag really do that?

Why you gotta lie man? The Freesync range is the full 144 frames for most monitors. Stop being a gigantic fanboy lardass.

It isn't FUD, if they called it adaptive sync they would have been forced to make it half decent. So instead they create a proprietary hacky copy that is backwards compatible but doesn't support everything.

G-Sync is the legitimate way it's meant to be played, pioneered by the best graphics card maker on the planet.

this is such bullshit it's pathetic, Nvidia marketing has clearly gotten to your brain and you don't know anything about the technical aspects of what you're attempting to discuss. Good day.

FreeSync mostly refers to the output side of the implementation so that AMD cards rendering Video Games can send Adaptive Sync protocol that can be understood by the VESA specification.

Are you stupid?

this. once tv's start supporting it freesync and gsync are dead.

welp, here's the final nail in the g-sync coffin:
eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-project-scorpio-supports-freesync-and-hdmi-vrr
right after the highway robbery priced monitors with 20 dead pixels and Nvidia 3D glasses.

Probaby because nobody cares about the physical size of the GPU or how well it performs in ashes of nobody plays it and the pajeets were banking on selling cards to OCD neets that can't afford them.

I'm convinced they only call it FreeSync to skirt aspects of the spec that would make the output more costly and to profiteer by forcing their branding onto monitor makers.

>Adaptive refresh technology like AMD's FreeSync completely eliminates tearing and reduces stutter significantly by allowing the GPU to trigger the display refresh instead of adhering to a hard and fast 60Hz cycle. Essentially, the screen produces the next image immediately after the GPU finishes rendering it. The technology was pioneered by Nvidia's G-Sync, but it's the open standard variants - FreeSync and the upcoming HDMI 2.1 implementation - that Scorpio aims to support. In fact, Microsoft has actually implemented the FreeSync 2 standard, meaning compatibility with HDR and full support across the range of potential frame-rates. Paired with a supported screen, this will even eliminate tearing on games running with adaptive v-sync with frame-rates under 30fps, something not supported on most FreeSync 1 screens (VRR range varied on a per-screen basis, with 40Hz to 60Hz commonplace).

damn, Nvidia BTFO

damn, based AMD supporting god tier open standards while Nvidia invents new proprietary pieces of hardware to justify artificially increased costs to their sucker consumers, ouch.

Not really, AMD is late with that shit, Nvidia already sells it.

it is the the shitposting weeb again

Nah, Freeysnc monitors have been selling like hotcakes for over a year, it's a major success.

But you sure sound like you know what you're talking about :D

You do know that FreeSync is fucking royalty free in the first place, right? I'm pretty fucking sure there's minimal, if none at all, profiteering involved. Also, FreeSync is 100% compliant with VESA specifications. Meanwhile the technology required to make graphics card running video games compliant with the VESA specifications isn't made by VESA themselves because VESA couldn't give less of a shit about graphics cards and video games. FreeSync is more about making sure Video Games can talk with VESA adaptive sync.

Only for a few hundred dollars more.

this also marks the end of the freesync too tho. nobody plays console on a monitor. the whole appeal of a console is to plug and play on a tv. i wouldn't be surprised if samsung, sony, lg etc release their end of year tv's with support for hdmi variable refresh.

And yet, somehow, you retards aren't asking why the DP cable still exists despite the fact that HDMI is the standard for TVs.

Guy is a known paid shill, don't bother he's just trolling.

>xbox scorpio uses Freesync
>this marks the end of Freesync
nice job

Adaptive sync is not a meme, but it is not at all worth the price either the green or red Jews are asking for it.

"FreeSync" on the display side doesn't even have anything to do with AMD.

>implying anyone will buy a shitty 23 inch freesync monitor to play their fresh new xbox 3k on

4k*

If you plan to play in 2160p no. Especially if you are on low FPS. I survived with a 780Ti/1060 3G more than a year and it helped a lot. 45+ FPS look smoother, everything above 50 FPS doesn't make a difference anymore.

Note a 1080Ti does only get 40 FPS in 2160p if you play the newest titles with max details.

Is this the Gaymer Nexus Sup Forums official account you people keep talking about?

the purpose of freesync and gsync works identical

what differs though is the requirements nvidia makes for gsync approval. which is a higher quality scaler you pay extra so you have a larger sync range

forgot to add:

while on freesync the manufacteurer can decide the quality of the scaler,

the Asus MG279Q for example uses the same panel as Eizo Foris FS2735. but use inhouse software and scaler

the eizo manages to natively have a freesync range from 35 to 144hz while the asus covers "only" 60 to 144

This. The only difference is a proprietary module. Some hackers once found out Gsync does work without one, with a hacked driver. It should be known that laptops doesn't use a module, but they also use eDP.

new TV's support HDMI 2.1 ya brickhead
