Variable Refresh Rate: Should be a part of HDMI 3.0

Posted Oct 26, 2013 by Mark Rejhon in: TV

G-SYNC monitors supporting 177Hz?

Posted Oct 24, 2013 by Mark Rejhon

At least one source mentioned 177Hz support for future G-SYNC monitors, including Guru3D. We noticed this number exactly matches DisplayPort 1.2 single channel bandwidth of 8.8 Gbits/sec. (half of 17.6 Gbits/sec dual-channel). 1920×1080 x 24-bit x 177 Hz = ~8.8...

G-SYNC reduces input lag for fixed refresh rates too (emulators, etc.)

Posted Oct 24, 2013 by Mark Rejhon

It is observed NVIDIA G-SYNC is also useful for low-latency fixed refresh rate applications as well: It accelerates frame delivery from GPU to monitor: Frames are delivered from GPU to monitor in 1/144sec instead of 1/60sec when running at 60Hz!...

Motion Blur from Display Persistence, not GtG Transitions

Posted Oct 23, 2013 by Mark Rejhon in: TestUFO

John Carmack of iD Software recently talked about persistence at the G-SYNC launch. Modern LCDs now create more motion blur from persistence (static pixel state) and not from transitions (grey-to-grey). Transitions now take only a fraction of a refresh. Pixels are mostly static...

NVIDIA G-SYNC: Variable Refresh Rate Monitors!

Posted Oct 19, 2013 by Mark Rejhon

One small step closer to tomorrow’s Holodeck: NVIDIA G-SYNC! It is a technique for refreshing computer monitors at variable intervals (up to a certain limit). Instead of refreshing monitors at exact intervals, the monitor is refreshed when the GPU finishes generating a...
