NVIDIA Reveals Why Only 5.56% of Tested Adaptive Sync Monitors Are G-SYNC Compatible After Phase 1

At CES 2019, NVIDIA surprised everyone when it appear the G-SYNC Compatible programme to validate those Adaptive Sync monitors that passed the company'due south rather stringent criteria for One thousand-SYNC.

At Computex 2019, NVIDIA revealed to have concluded 'Phase 1' and shared the results of their testing so far. Out of 503 Adaptive Sync monitors tested, merely 5.56% of them (28) take passed validation while all others have failed. The majority of those displays (278 to exist exact) didn't laissez passer because they were lacking a Variable Refresh Charge per unit range of 2.iv:i, while 202 were denied because of image quality problems such as the dreaded flickering.

In that location were really an additional 33 Adaptive Sync monitors on the market at some point, but NVIDIA claimed to have been unable to test them for the G-SYNC Compatible plan as they are no longer being manufactured.

Moreover, every bit outlined in the slide below, virtually of the Adaptive Sync displays tested either accept a limited native resolution (such as 1080p) or they can't become across 75Hz of refresh rate.

Three new Thousand-SYNC Compatible monitors will be officially added to the list subsequently today with a new Game Ready commuter. These are the Dell 52417HGF, the HP X25 and the LG 27GL850. The g total of Grand-SYNC Compatible monitors will then be twenty-8.

Computex 2019 also saw the debut showcase of the new One thousand-SYNC ULTIMATE Mini-LED monitors. One time again, the start displays with this new technology will come from Asus and Acer. The big improvement over the previous G-SYNC ULTIMATE displays can be found in the corporeality of LED zones for controllable backlight, due for an increase from 384 to 576. This should ensure better High Dynamic Range (HDR) performance.

Both monitors are expected to be bachelor later this year, though Asus and Acer haven't revealed when exactly, or the respective prices for that matter. Until and so, stay tuned.
