There are PC gamers everywhere who love their high-end set-ups, but run into light problems when it comes to latency issues, and how certain frame rates hold them back from reaching their optimal experience. However, with Nvidia’s help, that might not be a problem anymore.
The company has introduced a new module for computer monitors called G-Synch, which, according to its blog post, “brings big benefits for gamers.”
With this module, gamers will be able to sync between a graphic card’s frame-rendering rate and a monitor’s refresh rate, which are generally set to 60 Hz. Because of that rate, latency and image stuttering sometimes set in, causing those frame rate hiccups.
Rather than linking a GPU to a monitor, the G-Sync goes the opposite route, with the monitor refreshing after the GPU finishes rendering the frame. This means less screen tearing, input lag and glitches – and more high performance from the games PC players enjoy.
The hardware works with a variety of GeForce GTX cards – preferably 650 Ti Boost or better – and will be available in the first monitors sometime later this year. There’s no word yet on pricing, but several manufacturers might offer their monitors with the G-Sync technology built in as soon as early next year.
