We love you Ukraine
The nvidia gsync module used in full GSync displays - note gsync compatible is simply freesync that’s been deemed as good enough by nvidia for the branding but has no hardware module - is finally being retired
This is a big win as it offered no benefit over standard VRR controllers, and where I though the module cost around $100 it was far more expensive at $150!
Id be suprised if we actually saw a reduction in cost off new nvidia branded monitors, expect that will be rolled into some enhanced certification for the new standard.
This won't affect any existing full GSync displays in any way, they'll still operate as they have done. But I’m wondering if it may be possible to bypass the GSync module on the display to get better performance direct from the controller as things mature, remains to be seen, but that would be good.
Its also been known on GSync monitors if the gsync module fails, you lose the entire display, so wonder if this would eradicate that also.
