NVIDIA Driver Adds G-SYNC Compatible Support for New Monitors

Posted Jan 10, 2020 by in: G-SYNC Monitors

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.
