NVIDIA released its latest Game Ready Driver just before CES 2020 and while it makes some great changes including supersampling and max frame rate cap, it also adds G-SYNC Compatible support for 12 more monitors, as well as 5 big format gaming displays.
As a reminder, NVIDIA has multiple G-SYNC certifications:
- G-SYNC Compatible — This is NVIDIA’s new certification for monitors also “FreeSync compatible”
- G-SYNC — This is the native G-SYNC chip
- G-SYNC Ultimate — This has HDR
Here, we find new G-SYNC Compatible certifications on monitors already non-G-SYNC VRR compatible. Such monitors are typically higher quality VRR than generic non-certified VRR monitors.
The monitors that have been given instant Game Ready Driver Support are as follows:
- Acer VG252QX
- Acer XB253Q GX
- Acer XV253QX
- ASUS VG279QM
- LG 38WN95C
- LG 28GN950
- ViewSonic XG270
The remaining 12 monitors are just listed as “coming soon” on the NVIDIA announcement, and they are as follows:
- ASUS VG259QM
- ASUS PG43UQ
- Dell AW2521HF
- Dell AW2521HFL
In addition, the following BFGDs will receive Game Ready Driver Support later this year, with the LG2019 Z9 88-inch being the only one with support upon release. Here are the rest of the monitors that will be supported at some point in 2020:
- LG 34GN850
- LG 2020 BX
- LG 2020 CX
- LG 2020 GX
- LG 2020 ZX
- LG 2019 Z9
This brings the grand total of monitors supported by G-SYNC, G-SYNC Ultimate, or G-SYNC Compatible up to 164 and to make things even sweeter, NVIDIA announced that Wolfenstein: Youngblood will add realistic ray tracing and performance boosting NVIDIA DLSS.
