NVIDIA G-SYNC Gaming Monitors
NVIDIA G-Sync gaming monitors deliver a tear-free and ultra-smooth gaming experience like never before. With adaptive sync technology, the monitor’s refresh rate dynamically adjusts to your GPU’s performance, eliminating annoying screen tearing and stuttering. Whether in fast-paced action games or competitive matches, G-Sync ensures fluid motion, sharp visuals, and a true advantage in your gameplay.
G-SYNC Monitors
Are you looking for a gaming monitor for your NVIDIA GeForce graphics card? Then a model with NVIDIA G-SYNC is the best choice for you. G-SYNC dynamically adjusts the refresh rate of your gaming monitor to match variable frame rates that occur due to uneven GPU load when rendering complex game content and lower frame rates during video playback.
What Does NVIDIA G-SYNC Do?
G-SYNC adjusts the refresh rate of your gaming monitor to the FPS output of your NVIDIA GeForce graphics card. Under the name G-SYNC, two technologies with different specifications are combined, both aimed at NVIDIA graphics card owners, but they function differently.
NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible Explained
G-SYNC Compatible is a certification for gaming monitors. It confirms that the monitor has been tested in conjunction with NVIDIA graphics cards. The VRR technology here works based on VESA Adaptive Sync, an open standard for variable refresh rates.
NVIDIA G-SYNC Explained
A monitor with G-SYNC, on the other hand, is equipped with a proprietary NVIDIA chip. This ensures an impressive experience without tearing, stuttering, or input delays. G-SYNC is aimed at gaming enthusiasts and pro gamers and offers VRR across the entire frequency range for a sharp image and top-notch gameplay.
NVIDIA G-SYNC Ultimate Explained
Gaming monitors with G-SYNC Ultimate are equipped with the most powerful NVIDIA G-SYNC processors and offer the best gaming experience thanks to strict specifications. They provide high-end features, including realistic HDR, stunning contrast, cinematic colors, and gameplay with extremely low latency.
What is the Difference Between G-SYNC and FreeSync?
G-SYNC is from NVIDIA, and FreeSync is from AMD. While AMD has relied on the open VESA Adaptive Sync standard from the beginning, NVIDIA G-SYNC refers to two different standards: Classic G-SYNC and G-SYNC Ultimate use a proprietary NVIDIA chip in the monitor for communication with the graphics card, while NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible uses the same technology as AMD FreeSync. However, it is the NVIDIA certification.
If you have an AMD Radeon graphics card, we recommend a gaming monitor with AMD FreeSync.
Which NVIDIA G-SYNC Version Does My Graphics Card Support?
While newer GeForce graphics cards support both technologies, it can get a bit confusing with older NVIDIA graphics cards. Our comprehensive table provides clarity so you can find the right G-SYNC monitor for your graphics card.
