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.

I'm waiting for the pre-built G-Sync VG248QE to come out. I highly doubt the premium will be $200 over the non G-Sync version. Most people who want G-Sync will buy a new monitor, not upgrade their existing one, and the size of that premium is the one that matters. After all, Free Sync is no better in that regard; you still have to buy a new monitor and I can bet you that the first few DP 1.3 monitors will carry price premiums (the "early adopter tax").
makes me think this may actually be a good upgrade...
It’s like the “relation” Dennis Rodman has with Kim Jong Un... Dance monkey, dance!
I think Jen-Hsun Huang just likes to see... you Twist.
NVIDIA G-SYNC is groundbreaking new display technology that delivers the smoothest and fastest gaming experience ever. G-SYNC’s revolutionary performance is achieved by synchronizing display refresh rates to the GPU in your GeForce GTX-powered PC, eliminating screen tearing and minimizing display stutter and input lag. The result: scenes appear instantly, objects look sharper, and gameplay is super smooth, giving you a stunning visual experience and a serious competitive edge.
