NVIDIA Announces New 360Hz refresh rate G-SYNC Esports Displays
NVIDIA today unveiled new G-SYNC® displays with a 360Hz refresh rate, providing esports enthusiasts and competitive gamers with the fastest gaming displays ever made. At 360Hz, game frames are displayed once every 2.8ms—up to 6X faster than traditional gaming displays and TVs.
NVIDIA and ASUS are showcasing the world’s first G-SYNC 360Hz display--the ASUS ROG Swift 360--at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The display, which will be available later this year, pairs perfectly with GeForce RTX, the world's fastest gaming GPUs, to deliver the absolute best competitive gaming experience.
Rapid Rise in Esports Participants and Tournament Prizing
The esports and competitive gaming communities continue to expand at a phenomenal rate. More than 60% of GeForce gamers worldwide play competitive games every month and $211M was awarded as esports prize money in 2019, representing a 29% jump from the previous year. Esports viewership has skyrocketed as well, with more than 450M gamers tuning in to watch competitive tournaments played in real time.
NVIDIA G-SYNC--Driving Innovation and Advancing Gaming
First introduced in 2013, NVIDIA G-SYNC is best known for its innovative Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology that eliminates tearing by synchronizing the refresh rate of the display with the GPU’s frame rate. Since then, G-SYNC processors have added new display technologies to accelerate esports panels, including dynamic overdrive to enhance player perception, custom-tuned firmware to improve image quality for better target acquisition, and now 360Hz refresh rates for rapid reaction time. While esports pros previously accepted frame tearing on their display to avoid waiting for the next frame to update, with G-SYNC’s 360Hz and VRR technologies, frames now refresh in less than 3ms, so esports pros can get both tear-free frames and incredibly low latency.
Designed for Esports Pros—the ASUS ROG Swift 360
Developed in conjunction with NVIDIA, the ASUS ROG Swift 360 is specifically designed for esports competitions and features a 24.5 inch form factor to keep every pixel of action in the field of view. The ASUS ROG Swift 360 features ASUS’s new sleek ROG finish that feels at home on the grand stage at any esports event as well as:
- Blistering Fast Refresh Rate: 360Hz delivers crystal clear visuals, extremely low system latency for faster reaction times, and the smoothest motion to keep pros on target.
- Designed for Esports: Play how the pros do and never miss a critical moment with the highest performance 24.5 inch Full HD display.
- Superior Clarity: No distracting tearing, stuttering, flicker, or artifacts with NVIDIA G-SYNC VRR technology.
- Quality Certified by NVIDIA: All G-SYNC certified displays undergo a rigorous validation process and are subjected to 300 image quality tests to ensure they deliver consistent quality and maximum performance.
NVIDIA will be demonstrating the new 360Hz G-SYNC display at its press suite at the Wynn hotel during CES this week, featuring a set of esports demos that show how 360Hz improves gamer’s performance in target acquisition, aiming, and perception.

if you give the money to buy it, you will see the difference, if you get what i mean
Can we really see a significant difference between 144hz, 240hz and 360hz refresh rates?

Placebo mostly. But then again, there will be a difference that you will notice only on very high fps.

I am also curious if the human eye can really spot the difference...
When I changed from 60 Hz to 165 Hz I noticed a difference in smoothness on the screen but from there up I think that is only marketing...
If you change from 60 Hz to 360 then yes you will see a difference but from 144 or 165 to 360 I doubt it.

Yes, very clearly to be honest

Can we really see a significant difference between 144hz, 240hz and 360hz refresh rates?
Short answer: Yes, up to 240hz. There hasn't been anything significantly faster since the first 240hz monitor launched so we don't know yet if going from 240hz to 360hz makes a difference.

Short answer: You do on some situations, like when you're turning around 180º as fast as you can because you just got shot from behind.
Long answer: Most monitors that work at 60hz or even 120hz/144hz do not "truly" (100%) display 60/120/144 frames a second because not every pixel can faithfully transition between the right colors fast enough. This gives off an effect called "smearing" where some frames look badly blurred, which makes it harder for your brain to accurately recognize small targets (like heads) when both of you are moving at high speeds. (Apex Legends is one of those games where this happens often).
Higher refresh monitors have better pixel transition times (they have to be within a certain margin of error to be considered 240, 280 or now 360hz) which means fast moving scenes are much sharper, which allows you to track and aim faster.
There are plenty of videos in youtube with blind tests between 240 and 144 refresh rates (its the same monitor, but one has its refresh rate capped to 144) and 80% of the players can accurately tell which one was smoother (faster), so it's noticeable.
Personally, I think they'll keep trying to increase refresh rates just like TV makers are trying to convince us to upgrade to 8k, just to milk customers for more money.

I found a YT blind test on differentiating 60 vs 120 vs 144. He managed to differentiate 60 and 120 Hz, but he hesitated (and if I remember correctly, failed once from 2 attempts) when comparing 120 and 144 Hz.

Meanwhile, if you test a display with appropriate hardware, many don't even have the specifications they marketeer.
It amazes me to see most cheap 144hz displays struggle to give true 100hz experience.

there is no video card that can get over 160 fps at 1440p or 2160p in AAA titles with all the eye candy turned on ! Hell maybe someone with two 2080 TI can tell me if I am wrong ...
For esports - that is entirely different since most game on 24'' ... at 1080p ... and some even turn the eye candy off as it;s a distraction for them . ... no foliage , no post processing ... some game with almost full brightness ... etc.

i can definetely tell the difference between the generic 60hz and my first 3d monitor samsung 120hz syncmaster.
It was quite a step up. Then i got an asus 144hz but was not as good as that old samsung.
Regarding the comment about apex legend, how can that be game dependent?

this?
well he said he see no different between 240hz and 360hz
reading this make me abit curious, the tech seems throwing things they can make and hoping people jump in the trend (basically they not focusing in one thing before stepping to next)
not saying its bad, its good that the tech progressing fast
but there is raytrace stuff to catch up... then resolution race 8k... then now extreme refresh rate 360hz
the gpu even still have long way to catch up in raytrace.... 4k seems catching up pretty good...
then for extreme refresh rate, i guess we stay in fullHD ?
next Nvidia will saying "u can get those features with our $5000 gpu" ?

I don't know what the limit is, theoretically speaking, but say at 360Hz and matching frame rate something that's 10 pixels wide like a bullet goes whizzing by in your favorite shooter, will it appear smooth? What about when you whip your head around really quick to look behind you? What about if you're looking out the side window of a speeding vehicle, will everything be jittery, or will it be going by smoothly enough to track small objects?
At some point the frame rate and refresh rate could theoretically be high enough that any motion blurring you see is just a result of your eyes not being able to keep up with the changes on the screen, which viewed in slow motion would appear perfectly sharp. That will be a high enough speed for my taste, at least.
As an aside, I'd like to see the whole progressive-scan refresh thing get chucked out the window. With digital display and enough complexity, there should be a way to update the entire picture at one go, and sort of like in video compression, only change the pixels that need changing, to save bandwith or power or whatever. Then frame rates and refresh rates should only depend on the speed of motion in a scene and be adjusted up or down accordingly, again to save bandwidth/power/the world. Alternatively for cinematic effects you could use different frame rates to convey different qualities to a scene. Or whatever.

"24.5 inch Full HD display"
Glad I'm not a pro gamer. That sounds terrible.
