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.

Not likely considering nvidia has already stated that monitors are coming from several manufacturors.
this is a rumour with no legit source thats probably come about by someone misunderstanding the fact that asus have the only current monitor available with g-sync

Asus is my favourite monitor maker so that's cool with me. But I will only upgrade to a 27" monitor that can do 120hz+ @ a higher res than 1080p
