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.

I am at Radeon side about 6years, cos I dont like NV marketing and politics, started with physx. This is great innovation by NV, but AMD have great new innovations too, Mantle, true sound, and is cheaper, so my Q is: why do you need G-sync if you play on 2xAMDs games at 100hz/100 fps constatnt? or perhaps 120hz/120fps constant :) I stick on AMD side next 1-2 years absolutely, and waiting for 2x290x in Slovakia, my favorit is Gygabite with their great 3xfans, I cant waaaait, where are the cards? :)

Cause alot of people use vsync cause they dont care to see tearing, and vsync i has alot of draw backs. and g sync if it does what says has none of the draw backs. IF it works as they state they will go to bank on this cause Vsync needs to be replaced with somthing better

And alot people dont do sli to make 120hz monitors worth the money

Looking forward to G-sync, but I'd more than likely get one from BenQ when I upgrade end of the year. Smooth gaming even with frame drops and being stutter free sounds awesome.
