NVIDIA G-Sync explained (article)

On Friday NVIDIA announced G-Sync, and considering the little details available out there I wanted to write a quick follow-up on this new technology, as it really is a big announcement - a really big thing actually. NVIDIA G-SYNC is a solution that pretty much eliminates screen tearing, VSync input lag, and stutter. You need a G-SYNC module into monitors, allowing G-SYNC to synchronize the monitor to the output of the GPU.

Where was this shown?

Anandtech.

There's a lower bound of 30Hz as well, since anything below that and you'll begin to run into issues with flickering. If the frame rate drops below 30 fps, the display will present duplicates of each frame.

I said this in one other thread but monitors should already just work this way. We shouldnt need to buy extra stuff.

This looks so awesome. It should improve gaming experience by a lot for everyone whos rig can't sustain filling v-synced monitor at 60fps with no drops. Even then the input lag could be nasty. It should also make gaming @ 4k much more comfortable.

Now, when will we be able to get 4k monitor with fallback to FullHD @ 120Hz, and G-Sync, at <$1.5k?

It does look awesome, but i just got a VG248QE a while back. Now i need to turn around and sell if i want yet another proprietary Nvidia feature or the feature in general? I take it you wont be able to add this piece of hardware to the panel you'll have to buy one. Which IIRC i saw them showcasing it with the VG248QE.
