Nvidia G-Sync could be ASUS exclusive for a while

Nvidia G-Sync could be ASUS exclusive for a while

Nvidia's G-SYNC is likely going to be exclusive to ASUS until late 2014. At least that what is speculated. G-Sync is both a software and a hardware solution that will solve screen tearing and stuttering. A daughter hardware board is placed into a G-Sync enabled monitor which will do something very interesting. It is now reported that ASUS signed an exclusive deal with Nvidia. Something I would not be happy about.

Admittedly I doubt the claim Swedish website sweclockers makes by reporting that the first wave G-Sync will be introduced in monitors with a 120 to 144 Hz refresh rate. The first screen was already announced by ASUS, which is the VG248QE with a price tag of roughly 300 EUR (which might go upwards now).

This means that other manufacturers will have to wait until Q3/Q4 of 2013 before they can integrate it into their monitors. In the end if this information is right it will be a bad deal for the consumers as exclusivity drives prices upwards, which is exactly something you do not want to happen with new technology. If all this is true, then this is a very poor decision that has been made. It would irritate the other manufacturers like BenQ, Philips and Viewsonic, and next to that the exclusivity will halt sales and adoption rate for sure as people want diversity and not the option of just one monitor brand. So let's hope this was just a false rumor. More info on G-Sync can be found here.

what do you except, Asus have developp this technology in collaboration with Nvidia.. ofc they want bring back some profit..

What i think funny is most peoples here, will not buy this monitor ( whatever it is from Benq, Asus, Viewsonic ), and a Nvidia gpu for get it..

what do you think ?? you want to buy this 24-27" from Asus or Benq, with 120-144hz ( g-sync will not be available on other monitor anyway )-.. G-sync will and is limited to a certain type of TN monitor.. you will not find it on a 2600x1440 27", and you will not find it ona 30", the only type of monitor where it is usable is the 120-144hz gaming monitor 24 and 27" with a 1080p resolution..

I highly doubt that seeing they already said it was coming to 3+ manufacturers, Besides if this really works, Nvidia stands to make huge amount of money of this tech special when they start licensing it out.

It'll work just like vsync did with the 680 when it was released. :D

From what I understand an upgrade kit will be released for current LightBoost capable 3D monitors that will allow them to use G-Sync. I'll probably just buy one when it comes out and hook it up to my VG248QE.
