MediaTek to Integrate NVIDIA G-Sync in Monitor Scalers, Expanding Accessibility of G-Sync Displays

NVIDIA on Tuesday announced that upcoming monitor scalers from MediaTek will support its G-Sync technologies. NVIDIA’s partnership with MediaTek aims to integrate the full range of G-Sync technologies into future monitors, eliminating the need for a standalone G-Sync module. This integration will make advanced gaming features more widely accessible across various displays.

Historically, G-Sync technology relied on a dedicated G-Sync module, which used an Altera FPGA, to synchronize display refresh rates with the GPU. This synchronization helped reduce screen tearing, stutter, and input lag. In 2019, NVIDIA introduced the G-Sync Compatible certification and branding, leveraging the industry-standard VESA AdaptiveSync technology to manage variable refresh rates. This approach allowed for cheaper monitors by removing the need for a dedicated module, with NVIDIA’s program ensuring the monitors worked seamlessly with NVIDIA GPUs and met their performance standards. However, G-Sync Compatible monitors still lack some features exclusive to the dedicated G-Sync module.

Through the new partnership with MediaTek, all of NVIDIA’s G-Sync technologies, including the latest G-Sync Pulsar, will be integrated directly into MediaTek’s scalers. G-Sync Pulsar improves motion clarity and reduces ghosting, enhancing the gaming experience. In addition to variable refresh rates and Pulsar, MediaTek-based G-Sync displays will support features like variable overdrive, 12-bit color, Ultra Low Motion Blur, low latency HDR, and Reflex Analyzer. This integration will enable more monitors to support the full range of G-Sync features without the need for an expensive FPGA.

The first monitors to provide full G-Sync support without needing an NVIDIA module will include the AOC Agon Pro AG276QSG2, Acer Predator XB273U F5, and ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQNR. These monitors offer 360Hz refresh rates, 1440p resolution, and HDR support.

It is yet to be determined which specific MediaTek scalers will support NVIDIA’s G-Sync technology, or if the company plans to implement support across all of their scalers in the future. Additionally, it remains uncertain whether monitors equipped with NVIDIA’s dedicated G-Sync modules will continue to have distinct advantages over displays utilizing MediaTek’s scalers.
