The first FreeSync monitors didn’t become available until just a few months ago, but AMD says we should expect to see no fewer than 20 FreeSync monitors this year. Specifically, it took almost seven months from G-Sync’s introduction to the availability of G-Sync monitor.ĪMD has had just as much of a problem, if not worse, getting FreeSync-enabled monitors to the market. The lineup lengthens the list of G-Sync monitors available to consumers, a glaring issue when G-Sync was first introduced.

Asus’ PG27AQ, a 27-inch 4K IPS panel with a 60Hz refresh rate.

Asus’ PG279Q, a 27-inch 2560×1440 IPS panel with a 144Hz refresh rate.

Acer’s Z35, a 35-inch curved, wide-aspect VA panel with a 2,560×1,080 resolution and 144Hz refresh.

Acer’s X34, a 34-inch curved, wide-aspect IPS panel with a 3,440×1,440 resolution and 75Hz refresh rate.

Acer’s XB281HK, a 28-inch 4K TN panel with a 60Hz refresh rate.

Acer’s XB271HK, a 27-inch 4K IPS panel with a 60Hz refresh rate.

If a panel doesn’t pass muster, it doesn’t get the G-Sync stamp of approval. Nvidia officials said that as part of the G-Sync validation process, laptop and monitor makers must submit panels to Nvidia for certification. Nvidia controls the vertical and horizontal Part of the problem may be the other factor that Nvidia says makes G-Sync superior to AMD’s implementation: closer integration and panel selection. That isn’t likely to happen, however: The vendors queried by PCWorld said they currently had no plans do that.

Technically a laptop vendor could add G-Sync support to an existing laptop through a driver and firmware update. Laptops don’t use scalers because they attach directly to the graphics card though LVDS or eDP (embedded DisplayPort).

G-Sync replaces those scalers with a G-Sync module that connects to the panel. Desktop monitors feature built-in scalers to handle the different inputs and communicate with the graphics card. G-Sync on laptops is a little different than a desktop monitor. G-Sync modules aren’t needed for laptops because the displays connect directly to the laptop. (AMD has also claimed FreeSync actually predates G-Sync) But with monitors supporting AMD’s competing FreeSync finally shipping, it’s turned into another standards war. Why this matters: Variable refresh monitors enhance image quality by having the monitor match the graphics card’s frame rate and nearly eliminate annoying stuttering and tearing in games. Nvidia has long been the only player with G-Sync, which it announced in late 2013.

The company will also offer the Aorus X5 with a 15.6-inch 3K screen and GeForce GTX 965m GPU.
