NVIDIA’s journey in display technology has been marked by relentless innovation. The launch of G-SYNC in 2013 eradicated stutter by harmonizing the monitor’s refresh rate with the GPU’s output. This was just the beginning.

At CES 2024, we unveiled G-SYNC Pulsar, the next evolution of Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology, not only delivering a stutter-free experience and buttery smooth motion, but also a new gold standard for visual clarity and fidelity through the invention of variable frequency strobing, boosting effective motion clarity to over 1000Hz on the debut ASUS Pulsar monitor.

No longer will users have to choose between the smooth variable refresh or the improved motion clarity of Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) – our new G-SYNC Pulsar technology delivers all the benefits of both, working in perfect harmony to deliver the definitive gaming monitor experience.

In the video below, a 1000 FPS high-speed pursuit camera recorded Counter-Strike 2 running identically on a 360Hz G-SYNC with Pulsar technology enabled, versus with Pulsar technology disabled. Played back at 1/24 speed, the reduction of monitor-based motion blur on the G-SYNC Pulsar display is immediately evident, greatly improving clarity, fidelity, target tracking and target acquisition, helping improve hit rate, and more, making users more competitive online.

With G-SYNC Pulsar, the clarity and visibility of content in motion is significantly improved, enabling you to track and shoot targets with increased precision

G-SYNC Pulsar stands as a testament to NVIDIA's unwavering commitment to innovation and redefining the boundaries of gaming technology, offering gamers a visual experience that is smoother, clearer, and more immersive than ever before. The technology will debut in the 360Hz 1440p ASUS ROG Swift PG27 Series gaming monitor later this year.

Learn much more in our G-SYNC Pulsar announcement article, and stay tuned to GeForce.com for further updates regarding the availability of G-SYNC Pulsar gaming monitors.

There are thousands of monitors, displays and TVs out there, but only the best receive the G-SYNC badge of honor. Monitors with dedicated G-SYNC modules push the limits of technology, reaching the highest possible refresh rates, and enabling advanced features such as G-SYNC esports mode. And G-SYNC ULTIMATE displays deliver stunning HDR experiences.

Hundreds of other displays are validated by NVIDIA as G-SYNC Compatible, giving confidence for buyers looking for displays that don’t blank, pulse, flicker, ghost, or otherwise artifact during Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) gaming. G-SYNC Compatible also ensures that a display operates in VRR at any game frame rate by supporting a VRR range of at least 2.4:1 (e.g. 60Hz-144Hz), and offers the gamer a seamless experience by enabling VRR by default on GeForce GPUs.

Manufacturers are increasingly adopting VRR, and many incorporate game modes and additional features that enhance the PC experience, whether gaming on a monitor or TV. To ensure a flawless out of the box experience, partners such as Alienware, AOC, ASUS, Dough, IO Data, LG, Philips, Thermaltake, and ViewSonic share their displays with us for testing and optimization.

At CES 2024, our partners unveiled 24 new G-SYNC gaming monitors, displays and TVs, from a 16 inch portable monitor, all the way up to 97 inch TVs.

RTX Video HDR adds a new AI-enhanced feature to all GeForce RTX GPUs, instantly converting any Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) video playing in internet browsers into vibrant High Dynamic Range (HDR).

HDR enables stunning video quality but is not widely used online because of the extra work required. Using the power of Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX GPUs, RTX Video HDR allows GeForce RTX GPU owners to maximize their HDR panel’s ability to display more vivid, dynamic colors, preserving intricate details that may be inadvertently rendered unidentifiable due to video compression.

RTX Video HDR and RTX Video Super Resolution can be used together to produce the clearest livestreamed video anywhere, anytime. The combined features work on Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and the VLC media player (via the RTX branch).

RTX Video HDR will be released as part of new Game Ready and Studio Drivers later this month, and can be enabled via the NVIDIA Control Panel.

When setting up their broadcasts, most Twitch streamers must choose between a higher resolution output, or reliable streaming to more devices. High-quality video provides more enjoyable viewing experiences, but causes streams to buffer for viewers with low bandwidth. Streaming lower-quality video allows more people to watch the content seamlessly, but introduces artifacts and renders content at a lower resolution.

Twitch offers server-side transcoding for top-performing channels, meaning different versions of the same stream will be created for different bandwidth levels, improving the viewing experience. However, many channels are left with a single stream option.

Twitch, OBS and NVIDIA have collaborated on a new feature to address this problem: Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting, releasing in beta later this month. With this new feature, GeForce RTX GPU owners will be able to broadcast up to three streams simultaneously; an increase to five encodes is planned for a later release.

In future updates, Twitch will test higher-input bit rates as well as new codecs, which will enable streamers to broadcast at up to 4K at 60 frames per second for the first time. The new codecs include the latest-generation AV1 for GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, which provides 40% more encoding efficiency than H.264, and HEVC for previous-generation GeForce GPUs.
