Understand the difference between NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE and COMPATIBLE

A display with NVIDIA G-Sync technology will carry a G-Sync chip inside, which is responsible for the panel update rate can be synchronized with the GPU output fps (Variable Refresh Rate), thereby eliminating game tearing, shivering, For black shadows and other issues, G-Sync can bring the player the smoothest game image. If you have experienced this effect, you will definitely feel the mood that you can’t go back.

Generally, the display with NVIDIA G-Sync technology represents G-Sync verification that can solve the above problems and pass multiple tests. On top of this, the “G-Sync Ultimate” certification is added, that is, the display is not only With G-Sync function, it can reach the “HDR 1000 nits” specification.

That is to say, the NVIDIA G-Sync Ultimate-certified display is undoubtedly the most popular choice (such as ROG Swift PG27UQ), and the display that will pass this verification in the future should gradually increase.

As for “G-Sync Compatible”, NVIDIA is finally willing to use NVIDIA graphics cards to support displays with VESA Adaptive-Sync display technology, or FreeSync, by driver updates. To put it simply, the VESA organization launched the free “Adaptive-Sync” technology in 2015, which also synchronizes the panel update rate with the GPU output fps, which makes the game screen smoother, while AMD does “FreeSync”. One of the features of its GPU camp.

​NVIDIA will enable the NVIDIA GPU (GTX-10 and RTX-20 series) to launch G-Sync on a compatible FreeSync display via driver update on 1/15 this year; NVIDIA also updates the list of G-Sync Compatible displays Players can refer to the G-Sync-Monitors page for a display listed as Compatible.

NVIDIA’s G-Sync Compatible display represents the basic requirement for the Variable Refresh Rate, but it cannot pass NVIDIA’s image quality test. The detailed usage function waits for the 1/15 driver update to be tested.
