NVIDIA Rolls Out G-Sync Upgrade Kit for ASUS VG248QE
NVIDIA rolled out an upgrade kit that lets you retrofit your ASUS VG248QE monitor with NVIDIA G-Sync technology, letting you take advantage of the display's up to 144 Hz refresh rate for some incredibly smooth visuals (we've seen G-Sync in action ourselves, and it works like it should). The kit is a PCB with a handful of headers. You can either retrofit it into the monitor's body yourself (a DIY video is posted). The G-Sync kit is priced at US $199.The DIY installation video follows.

LOL NVIDIA
Is this due to Asus pushing their profit margins, or is it NVidia forcing manufacturers to buy the kit in bulk at a ridiculously high price?
I really can't justify paying 200$ for this. Just wait a couple of months and buy a new monitor with G-Sync support built in.
Couldn't they just create a slot to be able to insert or remove the GSync card easily in the monitor?For $200 JHH himself should be coming to your house and install the kit.EDIT: lol ok, obviously didn't see the whole video before posting.
Looks like the monitor will get a little more toasty too. 1/2 done whack job even if i had that monitor i would not get it as the casing was not made for the extra heat i bet that produces.
Imagine if all features were $200 each. I hope Free-Sync is credible.
It smells like money loss everywhere about this G spot sync... I have nothing against new ideas and methods... but this is a pure stillborn again. Hello Larrabee mk2.
200 bucks and I guess another 30-50 in the service center for doing it for you is ridiculous.
