Lagless VSYNC ON has been very rare since the days of Mortal Kombat and Super Mario Brothers (believe it or not, those classic games ran VSYNC ON and we never complained about input lag). I think that's because they were using controllers, not mice. Input lag is never a problem for me when playing ...

I'm interested at how quick the displays respond. NVidia are using a dedicated controller for this. Maybe they had good reason. If input lag with FreeSync is way worse than G-Sync, then G-Sync wins. If not, then NVidia is running a scam, selling us a solution to an already solved problem

A year ago I've sent NVidia an email about this, but I suspect this kind of email ends up in /dev/null in their offices.

I read that clouding is an issue with this monitor (well, considering the price anyway) compared to other (even cheaper) VA panels. Is there clouding in yours? I was actually considering this monitor (before I decided to wait for G-Sync) but the missing pivot function drove me off. For the price the...

The 590 doesn't support G-Sync. The supported cards are listed here:

Whether G-Sync is important to you depends on how much you care about tearing, V-Sync input lag and stutters due to a game's FPS not being 100% in sync with the monitor's refresh rate. This video tries to demonstrate the problem and "emulates" the G-Sync effect (it's in the second half of the video)...

If you have extra money to burn, I'd wait for the new monitors from BenQ (the new "Z" models, like XL2420Z and XL2720Z). Asus is probably also going to announce new models.

(Normally I'd mention "wait for G-Sync monitors to come out", but since you're using a Radeon card, it's no option for you.)

Hm, when I had a CRT, I would run 60FPS content in 120Hz mode (Doom 3 was capped at 60, and most emulators.) I don't remember any weirdness; it was smooth as butter with no artifacts whatsoever.

I suspect it will be an answer to BenQ's "Z" models. Let's hope that, unlike BenQ, we'll see G-Sync from ASUS. My 60Hz monitor is getting rather old, but after I heard about G-Sync for the first time, I held back from upgrading.

Also, I just ran high speed video input lag tests, that definitively confirm CS:GO has less input lag with uncapped VSYNC OFF (framerate massively exceeding refresh), than during capped VSYNC OFF (e.g. fps_max 142). This is why I consider it a sucker bet if someone wants to bet money with me, that ...
