Nvidia’s new G-Sync displays now not want a devoted {hardware} module

Nvidia is bringing its full set of G-Sync options to displays that gained’t want a proprietary G-Sync module. Nvidia is partnering with MediaTek to combine all of its present and future G-Sync options into MediaTek scalers, eliminating the necessity for a devoted G-Sync module.

“We’re working with MediaTek to deliver G-Sync to their market main monitor scalers,” says Nvidia. “We are going to deliver all of the G-Sync applied sciences, together with our most up-to-date – Pulsar – to many extra players and we’ll proceed to create extra G-Sync applied sciences with the MediaTek scaler options​.”

G-Sync initially required a devoted module in 2013 to permit it to synchronize show refresh charges to a GPU, remove display tearing, and scale back show stutter and enter lag. In 2019, Nvidia launched G-Sync Suitable, a method to help variable refresh charge displays with FreeSync expertise as an alternative of requiring a G-Sync module.

Whereas many displays now ship with G-Sync Suitable help, most don’t embody all of Nvidia’s G-Sync options like low latency HDR, its Reflex Analyzer for measuring system latency, or ultra-low movement blur help. Nvidia’s work with MediaTek will open up this full suite of G-Sync tech to much more displays sooner or later.

The primary three displays to incorporate full G-Sync help utilizing MediaTek scalers are AOC’s Agon Professional AG276QSG2, Acer’s Predator XB273U F5, and Asus’ ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQNR. All three of those displays have 360Hz refresh charges, 1440p decision, and HDR help. Additionally they embody G-Sync Pulsar help, Nvidia’s newest expertise to cut back movement blur and ghosting.

Nvidia’s affirmation of a MediaTek partnership comes after months of rumors that the pair are additionally engaged on an Arm-based chip for AI PCs. This work could even prolong to a devoted chip for handheld gaming PCs. Nvidia presently provides its Tegra X1 GPU for the prevailing Nintendo Swap, and it’s additionally rumored to be delivery a extra highly effective customized chip for the upcoming Swap 2.

Nvidia hasn’t commented on the MediaTek AI PC rumors, however earlier reviews have steered Nvidia plans to launch Arm PC chips as quickly as 2025. Dell CEO Michael Dell additionally dropped a reasonably large trace that Nvidia may very well be about to enter the AI PC market subsequent yr throughout a Bloomberg interview in Might.
