NVIDIA Announces New G-SYNC Esports Displays with 360 Hz Refresh-rate

[Camper7]

More than 144 Hz refresh rate is just wasted. Why do they produce this at all?

Because Nvidia is soooooo dispaired

People really hate progress? If someone wants higher refresh rate why hate, personally i don't like this monitor not for it's 360hz but because it's 1080p and a TN panel. I have my tradeoffs you have yours, i want higher resolution and better color accuracy across wide viewing angles, refresh rate only matters till about 120hz for me because i don't play competitive games that much.

Zeesh you might as well berate anyone that sells dacs that do more than 24bit, 48khz audio which is everyone even though it's really pointless.

Shannon Nyquist Sampling theorem literally proves that more than 44.1KHz sampling rate is pointless, and Xiph.org has a great pair of videos explaining this in conjunction with a good explanation of why 24 bits of dynamic range is silly excessive for audio.

Berate away, because the "audiophiles" are quite literally unable to hear the differences they are wasting their money on.

Same diff here for refresh rate. If you can't drive the frames you can't see the frames because they don't exist to be seen. I am more than happy to tell someone that's a great reason not to buy a monitor they're unable to take advantage of for a benefit they likely can't percieve regardless.

Resolution? TN/IPS? Guessing 1920x1080 TN since 360 fps.

For one thing it's not enough for numbers to just get higher and higher to generate real progress. The thing is, there is a particular, almost fanatic group that vouches for 1 million Hz displays and how everyone else who doesn't is a blind idiot that can't see the difference. That by itself isn't a a problem, what is a problem is that manufactures inevitably listen to these opinions and they start changing their products accordingly, even worse is that they start to push this rhetoric as well onto other people by the means of marketing.

See, if you make a display higher refresh rate everything else gets worse, the quality of the display itself, resolution, color gamut, contrast, etc. TN panels, which are usually used for high refresh rates monitors have the worst picture quality by far and are, incidentally, cheapest to make. In other words a manufacturer would rather sell you a stupidly high refresh rate TN monitor than a high quality slower IPS or OLED panel. They aren't idiots and are purposely trying to push products which are worse onto people to make more money.

See why some of us "hate progress" ?

I started gaming 320x240p so I'm perfectly happy with 1080p@60Hz and I don't even want to find out what I'm missing.
Haven't played FPS online good 6-7 years, busy with life. I was playing like an 1-2 hours a week (if that) some Fifa and racing games.
Started playing Fortnite with my 6 year old son a month ago and realized how much a suck.
I can say with confidence that has nothing to do with latency.

Glorious post. I feel great not having to be the only one saying and seeing these things, thx.

The point is that beyond a certain threshold, it will be diminishing returns, demanding extraordinary performance to shave off an extra ms.
At the same time, they could easily shave off at least 5-10 ms by writing better game engines and various scheduling improvements in the OS (Windows), but this is really not up to us end-users.
When we are talking about an end-to-end latency of about 30-50ms, nearly doubling the performance requirements to shave off 1 ms becomes pointless, and assuming you already have 144 FPS or more, I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't notice that extra 1ms saved. If the game engines and OS shaves off 10 ms though, I think you might.
