- NVIDIA is working with MediaTek to bring G-Sync to more displays. This eliminates the need for a separate G-SYNC module, streamlining the production process and reducing costs. They're highlighting this collaboration with G-SYNC Pulsar. They say this tech can offer 4x the effective motion clarity with tear-free variable refresh rate (VRR), and is set to debut on newly announced monitors, including the ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQNR, Acer Predator XB273U F5 and AOC AGON PRO AG276QSG2. All 1440p, 360hz and HDR compliant.
