Nvidia is forging a significant collaboration with MediaTek to introduce a groundbreaking scaler technology for gaming monitors, aimed at reducing costs and enhancing affordability. This new innovation, known as G-Sync Pulsar, promises to eliminate the need for a separate G-Sync module, thereby streamlining production processes and potentially lowering prices for consumers.
The announcement was made during the ongoing Gamescom trade show in Cologne, Germany. Since the inception of G-Sync technology in 2013, gaming monitors have required a proprietary module, which added an extra financial burden to consumers.
In 2019, Nvidia launched the G-Sync Compatible standard, which bypassed the need for the hardware module, albeit with fewer features compared to the full G-Sync suite. While G-Sync Compatible monitors support basic functionalities, they lack advanced features such as Ultra-Low Motion Blur 2 (ULMB2), variable overdrive, and Nvidia’s Reflex Latency Analyzer.
With the introduction of G-Sync Pulsar, Nvidia aims to offer a more cost-effective solution while maintaining high performance. The company has revealed three gaming monitors that will be among the first to utilize this new technology: the Asus ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQNR, the Acer Predator XB273U F5, and the AOC AGON PRO AG276QSG2. All three models are 27-inch displays with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels, a refresh rate of 360Hz, and support for HDR.
These innovative monitors are slated for release later this year, potentially marking a new era of affordability and performance in the gaming monitor market.
