Upgrade ASUS VG248QE with G-SYNC Kit

* ARCHIVED — DISCONTINUED SINCE 2015 *

Please see List of GSYNC Monitors for a more up-to-date list.

Good news:
The ASUS VG248QE monitor is G-SYNC upradeable!

Don’t know what G-SYNC is?
G-SYNC eliminates tearing, eliminates stutters and reduces input lag.
See GSYNC Preview Part One: Fluidity and Part Two: Input Lag.

DIY Upgrade Instructions:
1. You need an ASUS VG248QE monitor.
2. Purchase a G-SYNC DIY Upgrade Kit from NVIDIA.
3. Follow the Installation Guide (pdf) and the Video (YouTube) to install the upgrade.

NVIDIA says:
“For a limited time, we are making a G-SYNC Do-It-Yourself Kit available. If you have an ASUS VG248QE monitor, you can purchase the kit and mod your monitor. Assuming you are proficient with moding, this solution might be right for you. The installation process should take approximately 30 minutes.”

If you prefer G-SYNC to be already included, see List of G-SYNC Monitors.
Several monitors with G-SYNC built-in, are coming before the end of 2014.

hey i’ve got a question mark, tbh am thinking of getting the asus VG248QE but my question is will there be any decrease in performance compared with Q1 incoming asus monitors since these would be g synic ready, even if a little nvidia hasn’t said any thing about this so am just wondering i think its important to know

G-SYNC will have a superior LightBoost sequel.
Fortunately, if you get the VG248QE, it is upgradeable to G-SYNC in the future. Either by getting the board yourself (and opening up your monitor), or sending your monitor back to get the G-SYNC upgrade installed.

If you prefer G-SYNC to be built in, just wait several months or half a year. However, I know that many people (who visit this site) are anxious to get 120Hz already, so it’s the common computer upgrade decision: “Buy now, or wait?”

also i might wait for Q1 before buying it since i think there will be 177hz monitors but am not so sure

oh yeah just a question i’ve been told that this monitor wud be sold at about 400$ G synic ready, like will the new monitors cost more too ? or only this monitor cause it’s not g synic ready ?

Yes, G-SYNC monitors will generally cost slightly more.

@Chief Blur Buster –
Do you think that the G-Sync module will be a generic one? Ie, One size fits all so to speak. I ask as I am wondering if it can be fitted to an Asus VG278H/HE monitor as well?

Also does the Benq XL2720T share the same panel as the Asus VG’s mentioned above? If so would the DIY upgrade then be applicable to the Benq? I know these questions may be a bit premature, but your experience/knowledge/opinions & expertise would be appreciated. As I am planning to upgrade my rig around Lightboost/G-Sync enabled screens.

Thanks in advance. ;O)

To the best of my knowledge, the upgrade boards needs to be monitor specific at this time.

OK Thanks
