Acid_RuleZz Looks like not just Mantle, OpenGL extensions too... that means future games do not need 'game optimized' drivers.

As for Nvidia, their business priority seems to be cracking the mobile business. I sure do not hope them to drop desktop GPU.

Normally this is fixed if you turn on V-sync

Problem is that the G-SYNC module costs USD100 more, with that money you can buy a better monitor or higher class GPU.

I don't think it's fluid motion as opposed to removal of screen tears and v-sync related input lag

That's not fluid motion, but rather the removal of screen tears caused by monitor already halfway displaying a picture and GPU generated a fresh new frame.

The concept is good I'd say - This is indeed a long overdue issue which needed to be addressed.
What irks me are some unanswered questions though not necessary only pointing to nVidia unless stated:

1) This is an issue known for years. A solution (hardware/software) should had been implemented since years ago, why did nobody took this up much earlier? Why now when 120hz monitors had been released (admittedly, relatively young)?

2) Is nVidia going to patent and make this an nVidia-only concept? OK this is just me being paranoid, my gut's not feeling to comfortable seeing how nVidia's market recently had been diversifying (Tegra, nVidia shield), and how would they react to the recent decline in PC market share? Reminiscent of..... Apple. nVidia's making themselves unique from their competitor, which is a good thing. But with G-Sync, would they take the patent route on this attempt?
Maybe it's a good thing that nVidia implemented the G-Sync, so down the road we can see how AMD responds to it with their own implementation. Maybe AMD will reply "we will continue churning out butt-powerful cards and you just need to turn on V-Snyc". Whatever it is, hopefully nothing "closed-sourced" or strictly patented, that all.
Still, I am not gonna wait for G-Sync as my desktop is dead and I NEED a PC within this year. lol

It's irrelevant.

g-sync is still very long to go ok? whats so fun about it? looks like it u only can have g-sync if only u own a nvidia g-sync ready monitor and as usual nvidia is gonna charge very high price bcoz only they have 'it'

ok i know what can 780Ti do if it really came out, that is top the Titan oced

Dont think g-sync going to be a technology standArd.. what gsync can do radeonpro and nvidia inpector can do it for free.... but just need to know a bit of tweak

U can capped the frame to 30, 48, 50, 60, 72, 75 depends on ur monitor... and also how powerful ur card...
With this u can reduce the micro-stuter n reduce the screen tearing since the frame rate variance is minimal
For amd radeonpro.. nvidia nvidia inspector... u should play with these two great tweak apps

So that mean yet to be release GTX 780 Ti is not worth it because it is also based on 2 years old architecture?
