NVIDIA Announces New G-SYNC Esports Displays
January 05 2020 - 9:00PM
CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW (CES)—In the world of
competitive gaming, where mere milliseconds can make the difference
between victory and defeat, NVIDIA today unveiled new G-SYNC®
displays with a 360Hz refresh rate, providing esports enthusiasts
and competitive gamers with the fastest gaming displays ever made.
At 360Hz, game frames are displayed once every 2.8ms—up to 6X
faster than traditional gaming displays and TVs.
NVIDIA and ASUS are showcasing the world’s first G-SYNC 360Hz
display--the ASUS ROG Swift 360--at this week’s Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The display, which will be
available later this year, pairs perfectly with GeForce® RTX®, the
world's fastest gaming GPUs, to deliver the absolute best
competitive gaming experience.
Rapid Rise in Esports Participants and Tournament
Prizing The esports and competitive gaming communities
continue to expand at a phenomenal rate. More than 60% of GeForce
gamers worldwide play competitive games every month and $211M was
awarded(1) as esports prize money in 2019, representing a 29% jump
from the previous year. Esports viewership has skyrocketed as well,
with more than 450M gamers tuning in to watch competitive
tournaments played in real time(2).
NVIDIA G-SYNC--Driving Innovation and Advancing
GamingFirst introduced in 2013, NVIDIA G-SYNC is best
known for its innovative Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology
that eliminates tearing by synchronizing the refresh rate of the
display with the GPU’s frame rate. Since then, G-SYNC
processors have added new display technologies to accelerate
esports panels, including dynamic overdrive to enhance player
perception, custom-tuned firmware to improve image quality for
better target acquisition, and now 360Hz refresh rates for rapid
reaction time. While esports pros previously accepted frame
tearing on their display to avoid waiting for the next frame to
update, with G-SYNC’s 360Hz and VRR technologies, frames now
refresh in less than 3ms, so esports pros can get both tear-free
frames and incredibly low latency.
Designed for Esports Pros—the ASUS ROG Swift
360Developed in conjunction with NVIDIA, the ASUS ROG
Swift 360 is specifically designed for esports competitions and
features a 24.5 inch form factor to keep every pixel of action in
the field of view. The ASUS ROG Swift 360 features ASUS’s new sleek
ROG finish that feels at home on the grand stage at any esports
event as well as:
- Blistering Fast Refresh Rate: 360Hz delivers
crystal clear visuals, extremely low system latency for faster
reaction times, and the smoothest motion to keep pros on
target.
- Designed for Esports: Play how the pros do and
never miss a critical moment with the highest performance 24.5 inch
Full HD display.
- Superior Clarity: No distracting tearing,
stuttering, flicker, or artifacts with NVIDIA G-SYNC VRR
technology.
- Quality Certified by NVIDIA: All G-SYNC
certified displays undergo a rigorous validation process and are
subjected to 300 image quality tests to ensure they deliver
consistent quality and maximum performance.
NVIDIA will be demonstrating the new 360Hz G-SYNC display at its
press suite at the Wynn hotel during CES this week, featuring a set
of esports demos that show how 360Hz improves gamer’s performance
in target acquisition, aiming, and perception.
