The momentum and support for ray tracing is undeniable:

  • Ray tracing support is out in beta in what is the most popular game – Minecraft.
  • Ray tracing support launched with biggest blockbuster in gaming – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
  • Ray tracing support has already been announced and demonstrated in what could be the most anticipated game ever – Cyberpunk 2077.

Eight New G-SYNC Compatible Displays

The G-SYNC Compatible program expands the G-SYNC ecosystem and aims to bring consistency and educate consumers on which displays will provide a good entry-level variable refresh rate (VRR) experience. 

The newly validated monitors are the Acer XB273U GX, VG272 LV, XV272 LV, CP5271U V, X34 GS models along with the Asus PG329, IO Data GC252UXm, and Lenovo Y25-25 displays, giving gamers even more choice when searching for a great gaming display.

Under the G-SYNC Compatible program, NVIDIA works with monitor OEMs to validate the experience on monitors that support the AdaptiveSync protocol. Those that pass are designated as “G-SYNC Compatible”. With today’s additions, the list now totals 110. For a full listing of G-SYNC Compatible displays, please click here.
