All G-Sync threads are invariably also Mantle threads.
Not really sure why either. Mantle's biggest advantage is to the developer, G-Sync really doesn't have anything to do with a developer.

Couldn't you just reverse the process? If the DP becomes a nvidia only DPI'm on the fence about getting this kit.
Let's say I get it, does this turn the LCD into an Nvidia only LCD? or can it still be used with AMD cards?
From the video's i've seen it basically becomes an "nvidia display".
(To clarify I use an nvidia card once in a while to test things)
You two may want to get together and decide whether G-Sync supports all games (false) or even most games (likely still false).
Where did you see that, i can't remember any review articles trying to plug in a amd card to a g-sync monitor.How I understand it is if you use the DP with a non-Nvidia card you won't get GSync (still lose the 85hz option) but still get a signal.

WOW thats way more then i though they would be.
i was expecting 99 bucks for some reason.
PC Perspective said:The back story here is that NVIDIA chose to go with a more expensive FPGA chip for this first round of G-Sync hardware, reason being is that it is faster to get a product to market in this manner. This is typical for first run hardware, and purpose-built ASICs would logically follow in future generations of G-Sync hardware.
Bit Tech said:The G-Sync chip itself is actually an FPGA (the Altera Arria V GX) rather than a custom-designed ASIC: a sure-fire sign of how young this technology currently is.
Why would NVIDIA make it cheap when you can rip people off?

Spend an additional $200 on an already $280 TN panel....nope.
and kiss any warranty goodbye in the process...
To be fair, its Asus so you might as well act like it didn't have a warranty in the first place.
Surround is a no according to reviews. G-Sync only works as the primary display.Has anyone seen any details if they have support for surroundview and/or 3D implemented?
$99 by the end of the year... Or at least $150
It's just....retarded to use these on a 144hz monitor, unless I've been out of the loop and something has changed. I thought these were going to be directed or more beneficial to those 60hz type.
Does this work on older 144 Hz monitors like the one in my signature? If not, then fuck you nVidia you just lost a customer .

There are monitors with it already built-in, and more coming.So in summary...one model from one manufacturer and a $200 diy kit later that removes some retail functions and voids your warranty. That's about as close to being unavailable as the AMD solution as it gets. Nvidia doesn't have much of a high horse there to sit on.
What an absurd thing to be enraged about. The kit much like any other piece of hardware has certain minimum pre-requisites, I can only assume the specific panel used in the display in question is one of them.
You might as well complain about not being able to jam DDR4 into a DDR3 motherboard.
Lmao, I'm sure it will work since Asus 144hz screens are going to be the main modded screens at the beginning.
Way to voice your opinionated lie though. It's like saying you will NEVER shop at Wallyworld again....

Lighten up. It was sarcasm. Inevitably, I will buy a new G-Sync version monitor. But before that they have other things to worry about like having 144 Hz on a 1440P or higher screen before I invest further in ANY monitor. Also there is no way I am going back in screen size to a 24" monitor.
http://overlordcomputer.com/collections/24-monitors/products/asus-vg248qe-g-syncShow me where you can actually purchase one now that isn't "available soon or back ordered".
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see this become standardized and not require any additional hardware. But as it stands NVIDIA has a solution that you can use now, even if it requires some tinkering, whereas AMD's solution is not able to be implemented by end users now or for the foreseeable future.Theres apparently already a VESA standard for controlling VBLANK intervals. The GPUs display engine needs to support it, as do the panel and display hardware itself. If all of the components support this spec however, then you can get what appears to be the equivalent of G-Sync without any extra hardware.

The ASUS VQ248GE will have it built in. It's kind of bullshit that you are qualifying your statement with "that isn't available soon or backordered", as if that is somehow the fault of the manufacturer or NVIDIA. This is brand new technology and it's using an FPGA rather than a custom ASIC so I imagine ramping up production will take a little longer. The monitor manufacturers themselves need to add the technology to the monitor to make this work so you can hardly fault NVIDIA for this.
Your statement that it's "about as close to being unavailable as AMD's solution" is just factually wrong. AMD demoed the tech on laptops for a reason, and it's because the technology they are using requires support built into both the panel and the display as well. There is no way to use Freesync on existing displays and it doesn't sound like there is any significant push to change this anytime soon. From Anandtech: Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see this become standardized and not require any additional hardware. But as it stands NVIDIA has a solution that you can use now, even if it requires some tinkering, whereas AMD's solution is not able to be implemented by end users now or for the foreseeable future.
Your original statement is still bullshit. NVIDIA has working technology right now that is shipping, AMD does not outside of tech demos using laptops. I don't understand how this isn't a clear distinction. Waaahh, this brand new technology that only one manufacturer produces is limited availability. Welcome to technology?All you had to say is your right, it's not available yet. That's my point. You can stop the bullshit "high horse" crap until its an actual fact. The rest of your post is just hyperbole.

I have AMD hardware in both my systems at the moment. Fan boy? Give me a break.LOL fan boys...twisting a simple question to their side....well its available, ok well its shipping, ok well give the OEM's time....la, la,la. And I don't give one shit about AMD's solution one way or the other. The only thing I know from my original post is kit's are shipping that void your warranty while losing features. cry moar...

If you are afraid of voiding warranties maybe this isn't the right forum for you.
Ignore his, he's just trying to stir up trouble.
A couple people on the TR forum have the modified monitor and have posted a review.

So it is out there in the public.
What specific functionality loss are you concerned with? OSD? Other inputs? Personally, my current monitor doesn't have an OSD (Korean IPS panel) and I don't care or even notice. I believe the GSync module has it's own OSD so that's really more of a trade off.That first sentence is ironic coming from you...secondly thank you for confirming my point. Only kits available right now that void you warranty and remove some retail features.
