Go for ROG swift if you really into gaming and currently have nvidia supported cards. If you really fancy on variable refresh rate (VRR), wait for AMD offerings for freesync. The demo unit should be available to reviewer end of this year. Probably Q1 you can see the retail.

But i doubt it works the same like G-sync.

Hmm color reproduction to me looks the same. The issue is the desktop sharpness. Some icons look washedout n text are blacks are all odd. Not sure its a viewing angle etc.

Also swift has no scaler so u need to set up ure gpu as scaler with 1:1 pixel. So no fullscreen for lower res as it looks odd. Ppl dont realize 144hz is a overclocked hz. Asus had to find a 8bit 1440p tn panel n oc to 144hz.

gaming experience on this is just pure bliss.

Freesync. It wont be as easy as amd thinks. Nvidia has one of the best software teams in the world. Y gsync is expensive because they used fpga instead if creating a mass asic for the gsync module. They really put a lot of thought into this. Gsync can become cheaper if nvidia did mass asics.

Freesync is dp1.2a with extension blah blah etc. The scaler/input modules will be done if i am not mistaken by realtek, novatek, Mstar etc. My issue is the extra driver requirement to make this work.

Dont think things will be as easy as they thought. Dp1.3 has no such spec for freesync hence y nvidia is not supporting a dp extension unless it becomes a dp 1.3 spec.

Well if u want u can try it at my place end of the month. In the midst of shifting but still in kajang. Just waiting for carpenters to finish installing all the furnitures

on a side note
btw lol just tried czone postage/delivery. bought two asus ac87u from them. They used a delivery company called public something. the guy came with a motor from czone and delivered to me. not bad man. doubt they will use it for this monitor. Its crazy big box. It comes preinstalled with the stand.

I think you are one of people that i know who actually understand the currenty situation of AMD Freesync and G-Sync. I've hard time explaining about the state of Freesync and DP1.2a over the internet. doh.gif

Lot of people think that DP1.2a and DP1.3 will have adaptive refresh rate, but the fact is those 'standard' are optional. It is not a mandatory VESA spec.

Well, i still give the benefit of doubt until AMD can actually demo the thing. Still holding my VRR monitor purchase.
