Not really. With FPS<60, parts of the frame that werent overwritten by the next frame will be the stutter. With FPS>60, parts of the frame overwritten by the next frame will be stutter.If that were true, there would be no stutter without v-sync. You'd just get tearing, but we should all know that isn't true by now. (Look at all the early FCAT data.)

I did miss something earlier. A factor that GSync will not fix - variation in frame render time. If theres a way to predict how much time the subsequent frame will take to render, we will have perfect GSync.
:thumbsup:If there is one issue with G-SYNC it is that you have to see it to believe what it can accomplish and describing the changes it made to how I approached gaming is impossible. Right now, you may think that your current 60Hz or 120Hz panel provides a great experience. I know I did. My tune changed from the moment I started playing Battlefield 4 multiplayer with G-SYNC enabled.
The question here is simple: is NVIDIA’s G-Sync a genre-defining technology? Even in its early form I’d have to respond with an emphatic “YES!”. Plus, with some of NVIDIA’s soon-to-be-announced features, supporting monitors will quickly become a must have item for gamers provided they hit a variety of price points.
Until our full review is published early next year, I can safely say that after a week of using G-SYNC, there’s really only one word to sum up my experience thus far: awesome.
It will fix the stuttering associated with vsync and it will fix the image quality issues with tearing. But the stuttering that fraps captures for example wont change, that variance within the frames themselves will remain as its either variations between GPU render times or differences in CPU time for a frame, or just backpressure due to command queue buffers. Gsync fixes the end of the pipeline but the beginning is still a problem and it will still causes variance in the frames produced.
While G-SYNC may look like a cure-all for many of the glaring shortcomings in the display market, it isn’t infallible and it can’t rectify every issue. Stuttering will continue to rear its ugly head when games load textures or when a system storage device becomes a bottleneck. In addition, blur still occurs and detracts from the overall experience despite G-SYNC’s improvements in other areas.
:thumbsup:After spending a few days with G-Sync, I’m just as convinced as I was in Montreal. The technology, albeit a relatively simple manipulation of display timing, is a key ingredient in delivering a substantially better gaming experience.
:thumbsup:
It's my next upgrade, after the video card itself ^_^
will check it out too as soon as ips panels 2560x1440 and above will be available with it.What happened with the 780ti classified,not arrived yet?
NVIDIA G-SYNC Tech Preview - Linus & Slick's Impressions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PJjhBUSuHk
Give me a TL;DR version
I will only buy this when it apply on monitor with 2560 by 1440 or 2560 by 1600 res
Useless at 1080P and 60Hz refresh rate.
Maybe higher resolution and higher refresh rate would help it shine.
But worthless at 1080@60Hz.
tviceman asked for what the linus video stated...
That certainly is NOT what linus and slick mentioned in their preview. Their preview, like all other gsync previews, was resoundingly positive with G-sync being a complete evolutionary and game changing experience. No tearing even at sub 60 framerates, no input lag, just completely smooth gaming. This lets you also increase image quality on less hardware without a loss in perceptible performance.
In fact, Linus made an analogy; remember how completely game changing SSDs were? Linus stated that G-sync is the same for monitors and video cards. Their preview was resoundingly positive, I have NO IDEA what you're talking about here.
The flip side of the coin they mentioned was potentially getting g-sync in more panels aside from the asus vg248qw, which a large contingent of users will want. This was mentioned. Nvidia apparently is working on this, but the G-sync module isn't a simple plug and place device; it requires some device changes on the part of screen manufacturers. I don't see this as a big issue since viewsonic, ben-q, asus, and others have signed on to use G-sync.
They made it very clear it was really good, but they also made note that it is going to be a hard sale for similar reasons as SSD's. People just don't view it as all that important until they use it, but getting people to use it is very difficult. You can't show people how much better it is without them having one in front of them. This is where they mentioned that a lot of people will think if they have 60hz and 60 FPS, it isn't needed, but they did not say that was the case themselves. They said the opposite.Strange.
Well I dont say that they were complaining about it.
I specifically remember Linus saying that it need to be higher than 1080P and 60Hz to make an significant impact. Because current High end graphics cards(people who would generally buy a G sync monitor.) usually run all the games at 60 Fps majority of the time, rendering G sync almost useless except in the certain scenerious where GPU draws more frames then monitors refresh rate.
I watched the video late last night, maybe I need to re watch it and brush up my memory.....?

They mentioned a lot of different cases where it shined and they even mentioned that Nvidia will be bringing these to 60hz monitors and to 1440p monitors, and 1600p monitors. It is just the first monitor will be 1080p 144hz.
Hmmm
As I see and understand it gsync will NOT eliminate lag it will reduce it from a frame since the monitor will wait for the next frame to be calculated from the GPU so a high end GPU will do that in 1 frame time but a lower GPU will need 1.2 frame time to do the same so that monitor will have a delay of 0.2 frame but it will better since on non gsync monitor this would be a delay of 1 frame.
Am I wrong on this? I think this technology will be for higher resolutions (4k) till the GPU can produce high frame rates on them aka above 60fps on 4k where this is impossible now on SINGLE GPU with low costs
