Nxodus ok you got some points there. I'm not a monitor expert, all I know is that I'm getting an Nvidia card and I'd like to get higher refresh rates than 60 Hz. So you're telling me I can get more than 60Hz out of a random 60Hz monitor with Fastsync / Adaptive sync? Also, the memes about Ngreedia + Freesync compatibility are indeed false, and I can get more than 60 Hz with the riva tuner software?

atomicus It's not that easy and can require quite a lot of tweaking to get a satisfactory result without tearing and/or stutter. A lot of people simply don't have time for that, and G-Sync does 'just work', to use Jensen's phrase truthfully for once. Yes it adds a premium, and I'd opt for FreeSync if AMD actually had a GPU that competed at the top end.

60hz is 60hz.Gsync is a way to avoid screen tearing. And to avoid that, there are other ways, all of which are free and just require some software tweaks.1. High refresh rate displays and running games at +100FPS with an upper FPS cap set for the screen's max refresh rate. Tearing may still occur but the display refreshes so fast you barely ever notice. Bonus points for the lowest possible input lag.2. Adaptive Vsync. This is available on all Nvidia cards and simply activates Vsync whenever your FPS go above your monitor refresh rate. This eliminates most tearing. If you can keep your FPS at 60 minimums, this is 100% the same experience as Gsync. Bonus points for being able to use things like ULMB (strobing backlight). Its not possible to use such things with Gsync. The input lag penalty of adaptive Vsync is negligible. For 60hz monitors this is the best mode.3. Fast Sync. Specifically for high refresh rate monitors & high FPS, this method holds a frame to use whenever the next frame isn't fully drawn. This means it may cause a tiny stutter here and there, but it does eliminate tearing AND has no input lag penalty.Gsync 'just works'?LOL. You should read some Nvidia driver patch notes from time to time. Not a single one goes by without Gsync fixes.I could go on, but.... Gsync really doesn't mix too well with many other technologies and developments, it cannot be combined with strobe, etc etc. The list is endless and the moment Nvidia stops carefully bugfixing everything, you're fucked.Bottom line, don't be a lazy bum, read up a little and start tweaking. It has always been the optimal way for PC gaming, that won't change with some McDrive fast food approach. 'Haven't got time'... lmao. If you can't find Adaptive Vsync in NVCP, that's pretty damn sad, because really that is all you need.Even multi monitor is hard for Gsync... and what did you say about not having to tweak?The longer I look, the more hilarious it gets :D I could fill a page with links.Let it die, and spread the word. We don't need this, we don't benefit from this.
