Eleven years after introducing its proprietary G-Sync module, Nvidia is finally doing away with the chip for something much better.
It only took 11 years. Nvidia is finally doing away with its proprietary G-Sync module that’s been the bane of the best gaming monitors for several years. Although Nvidia eventually started offering G-Sync branding with any variable refresh rate tech, display brands have still needed to shell out for a dedicated G-Sync module for proper certification — and pass along that cost to customers. Going forward, the G-Sync module is no more.
Recommended Videos Nvidia hasn’t said which Mediatek chips it’s adding G-Sync features to, nor if there are any restriction on using it. Hopefully, the change means that you’ll get a suite of G-Sync features without even thinking about it. Mediatek’s chips are by far the most popular on the market, which should mean you get the full G-Sync range in most gaming displays. The recent Alienware 32 QD-OLED, for example, uses the Mediatek MT9810, which is what enables Dolby Vision HDR support.

It shows up in monitors like Alienware’s 500Hz gaming display, and it allows you to see a slew of metrics concerning input lag.
