Decoding G-Sync Pulsar Tech: NVIDIA and ROG Breakthrough

Asus introduced the first WQHD display with native NVIDIA G-SYNC implementation in 2014, and it reached 144Hz

With displays that run at 240Hz, 360Hz, and now 540Hz, Asus have unlocked new speed levels

[{"selector":"#anim-b6583ccf-83e6-46c4-aef4-758f0d1b3a29","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.79935%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e322a57c-7dce-45e6-b91c-ba9373023fc1","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f91effa9-7da7-46c3-825c-9464df1bc96e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.249999904429615%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Motion blur is partially caused by sluggish LCD transitions

[{"selector":"#anim-7c68ff99-bcd7-42da-add1-e0c25bace1d8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-127.06767%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cb194198-5a50-4e5e-9aaf-8c765d8f355d","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-28e634e3-5d3d-4562-9bf8-743a26c0a603 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.249999904429615%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

An LCD display draws a frame and keeps it there until the next frame is drawn, in contrast to older CRTs where a frame “fades” after it is drawn

[{"selector":"#anim-e9a102e6-de16-403c-a461-ef4790ad9b37","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.10727%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ecb6e60e-7b07-4c4c-a5ea-b8b6aa7a6fb1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3361612f-5d7a-46b8-876e-c9cf16da821d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-03ca9979-b339-4e10-bd02-d2c5a6b05077 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.249999904429615%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Low response times, such as those found on Asus ROG OLED gaming monitors, can help reduce the first kind of motion blur

[{"selector":"#anim-f51192ba-4371-4ebe-9eed-ea4268d44d22","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.14285%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ccba065b-8ee1-4d66-89b5-a0465261e01d","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-49a452e6-27a0-4c8e-8656-b6db9253cf87 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.249999904429615%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

They change colors almost instantly, with response times as low as 0.02 ms (GTG). Variable Overdrive technology on LCD screens does a fantastic job of removing sluggish pixel transitions as well

[{"selector":"#anim-63545333-6069-4825-a1b5-18f14ce636e1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.249999904429615%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a35c91b5-648f-4998-a511-97ada7e8bc33","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.0625%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-626efb60-7c29-43f7-9ae6-53bebaddd28a","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The G-SYNC Pulsar algorithm regulates the brightness and length of each backlight pulse for smooth, comfortable viewing
