I wonder if anyone on an IPS will be willing to "downgrade" to a TN panel with gsync.
I wonder if anyone on an IPS will be willing to "downgrade" to a TN panel with gsync. I wish there didn't have to be a compromise. Heck I would go back to 1080p if it was IPS and gsync compatible.
They are going to have G-Sync on IPS eventually. Just in the beginning the first monitors rolled out are going to be TN more than likely.
There is no reason, to my knowledge, why G-Sync will not work with IPS. IPS is just the panel...it has nothing to do with the refresh rate. The only reason IPS may not be adopted early is due to cost. Since the majority of gamers play on TN panels, and TN Panels are cheaper, TN Panels will offer the best path the early revenue/profit while the cost of implementation is higher.

There is one that I've seen that is a VA panel with a Lightboost like tech.Are there any IPS screens that do 120hz natively?
Will they offer G-Sync without LightBoost?
Seems that would be the biggest hindrance for IPS.

The Eizo Foris FG2421. G-SYNC is a non-starter now that this monitor is out.

This doesn't address the problems that gsync solves.
27" 1440P @ 120Hz with G-Sync is coming at some point- http://overlordforum.com/topic/603-nvidia-g-sync/
I have a high end NEC 2690 16:10 IPS screen so for me to use G-Sync will I need to buy a new screen that is G-Sync enabled? or will it work with my current screen via software?
I have the Asus that can be retrofitted. I can assure you that while the response time and steobing are great the tn panel absolutely sucks.
Viewing angles are hurried and the colors are all washed out. The Samsung it replaced (23 in 750d) had impressive colors and viewing angles for a tn. I'm still sad that that panel died.
GSync is not a software solution. It requires specific hardware be built into the monitor. There is an Asus model that can be retrofitted for reportedly ~$100. Other than that it's new monitor time if you want GSync.
It would be nice if there was a reasonable choice of monitors. Looks like it's only going to be 1 model of Asus at first, and then who knows?
Hi, ASUS has announced that a modded VG248QE sold by a retailer like Newegg or Amazon will have a MSRP of $399.
The VG248QE mod kit is currently estimated to cost $175, though we hope to get that down to $130.

That is great news for a lot of people I imagine!
:awe:
I read in a post somewhere (not on this forum) that G-sync will not remove the microstuttering caused by multi GPU setups, i.e. the uneven rendering of frames.
This confused me a bit. I thought the g-sync device would be seated between the monitor and the gpu and therefore would reduce/eliminate any kind of stutter?
Someone please deconfuse me.
