Even if you're chasing the very best gaming performance, GTX Titan Black is a waste of money (though we're sure that still won't stop some people buying four). Pre-overclocked GTX 780 Ti cards will outperform it with ease, and even stock cards have a tonne of headroom for extra performance. For now, the 6GB of VRAM does nothing to boost performance in games, even in demanding triple screen and 4K tests.

it's more for professionals than gamers.

You stan nVidia and don't know about G-SYNC? :wtf:

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/g-sync

Those 4K G-Sync monitors are going to be interesting...I can't wait to try one in person.

so basically it has preset gaming configs which is what BenQ offers and the only pre modded monitors are the Asus monitors and the cheapest (sold out) ones I seen was $500

im coo :pachaha:

im lookin at some BenQ monitors , thats what you should be looking up

Nah, they make 40fps look like a smooth, constant 60fps.

I dunno how it works, but the monitors make it so that 60fps is no longer needed. Apparently everything looks smooth (within reason)

ummm nah, its an attempt to schynchronize with the GPU to eliminate tearing and artifacts while playing.



People who have used it are saying that there is a noticeable improvement.

I don't think gsync would effect streaming. it's not like that streaming data passes through your monitor before it goes out to the internet

60fps looks so good on a 60hz display because it's one frame per cycle. if you can't hit 60, and you still want smooth gameplay, you need to drop all the way down to 30fps (one frame every two cycles). any inbetween framerates will either produce screen tearing with vsync off, or a slight stutter and 'input lag' with vsync on. 'input lag' is like the devil to competitive PC gamers, so they usually just deal with screen tearing. there's also debate as to whether or not having a framerate higher than your refresh rate (this also causes tearing) is beneficial

tearing, or stutter and input lag: this is the problem gsync seeks to solve. basically it does it by allowing the monitor to have a variable refresh rate. if the game is running at 46fps, the monitor is 46hz. simple enough, but I guess it took some magic to pull it off with flat panel displays (crt's had variable refresh rates). the gsync monitors are also 144hz natively, so they should be able to deal with a wide variety of framerates (not just 30-60)

so far it's only available with DIY kits (that are sold out) and a particular Asus monitor. but soon there should be a bunch of monitors with gsync support. Asus has this 1440 joint coming soon

I'm interested, but I'll probably wait for the prices to come down a little
