NVIDIA To support VESA Adaptive-Sync Technology, GSYNC Compatible

It has been a topic of long discussion but in a short and a bit of a confusing explanation, NVIDIA seems to be making a move to support adaptive sync (aka FreeSync). The feature will be enabled in future drivers, however, will only work on selected monitors.

From the looks of the monitors that are going to be supported need to be tested by NVIDIA and thus certified by NVIDIA. We're sure that is a partner certification program that needs to be paid for by the monitor manufacturers to get that new 'GSYNC Compatible' logo. So in one way or another, that might invoke a price premium. According to Nvidia this works on the 10 and 20 series.

Merely (a handful of the current 500+ monitors will be enabled support to Adaptive Sync on GeForce graphics cards. That number should expand over time. Multiple monitors have been tested and certified including monitors from Acer, ASUS, AOC, Agon and BenQ. These will get driver enabled for adaptive sync on January 15th. The certified monitors will be called ' GSYNC Compatible'.

Updated: we reached out to NVIDIA. Not certified monitors will work as well by manually enabling the mode.

Yeah unfortunately every technology has there weak point's. TN washed out colors, VA banding and slow pixel transition from black to grey, IPS has glow. I'm with you on the OLED. After having an LG OLED TV, that would be so awesome.

Hey guys I just bought a acer xfa240 because nvidia now supports freesync and i really wanted a 144hz monitor but not all games get above 90fps with my setup.

Well anyway I love 144hz and i dont think i could go back to my asus ips monitor but Jesus Christ this monitor is bad. The colors are horrible and i kind of fixed them but the thing is so bright even on 0 brightness. White background with text gives me horrible headaches.

Can anybody recommend a good quailty 144hz 1080p freesync monitor that will work with nvidia? Perferably a 24 inch
