Which is to say that NVIDIA will be able to drive variable refresh laptops entirely with standardized eDP features, and will not be relying on proprietary features or hardware as they do with desktop G-Sync. eDP's variable timing functionality was of course the basis of desktop DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync (along with AMD's Freesync implementation), and while the technology is a bit different in laptops, the end result is quite similar. With embedded DisplayPort (eDP) now being a common fixture in high-end notebooks these days, NVIDIA will be able to do away with the G-Sync module entirely and rely just on the variable timing and panel self-refresh functionality built in to current versions of eDP. However with laptops come new challenges and new technologies, and that means a lot of the implementation underpinnings are changing with the announcement of Mobile G-Sync today. For a desktop monitor this is not a big deal, particularly since it was outright needed in 2013 when G-Sync was first introduced. But what G-Sync allows for is a variable refresh rate on the display which allows it to stay in sync with the GPU’s abilities to push out frames rather than forcing everything to work at a single fixed rate as dictated by the display.įrom a technical/implementation perspective, because desktop systems can be hooked to any monitor, desktop G-Sync originally required that NVIDIA implement a separate module - the G-Sync module - to be put into the display and to serve as an enhanced scaler. After much speculation (and an early prototype leak) NVIDIA’s G-Sync technology is now coming to notebooks.Īnand took a look at the original G-Sync back in 2013 and for those that need a refresher on the technology, this would be a great place to start. Today NVIDIA is announcing a very exciting product for notebook gamers. We'll kick things off with the biggest of the G-Sync announcements, which is Mobile G-Sync. This includes the launch of Mobile G-Sync for laptops, Windowed G-Sync support for laptops and desktops, new G-Sync framerate control functionality, and a number of new G-Sync desktop monitors.

The biggest news of course is the launch of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, however the company is also releasing a number of G-Sync announcements today.
