Nvidia Gsync on all laptop, modded driver

Edit :


It was discovered that it was a fake , investigations are ongoing but it will apparently just a guy that would have changed the background image of a driver and some text ... Here are the explanations : Nvidia G-Sync FREE on DP 1.2 Monitors - Page 4


Thanks to ejohnson for the search job :thumbsup:





Hi,

I have found this guy :

Truth about the G-sync Marketing Module (NVIDIA using VESA Adaptive Sync Technology – Freesync) | GAMENAB

He has been working on the gsync things to see how it works, why you need the gsync chip in your screen ... In fact this chip deserve to nothing,it just allow the driver to activate the gsync fonction. So he made his modded driver and it work ! That should work for all nvidia gpu from gtx 6**m to gtx 9**m with an edp screen cable.

All credit to him for his great work !

Let's try and give some feedback !

 

Downloading right now, Will give them a try and see what happens.

 

Just got it installed, running 120hz and a 780m, no gsync option for me.

Looks like its a no go on my end.

 

Downloading now for my MSI

 

You need to have an eDP screen, so all the lvds screen will not work for now if i understand right. He is working on a new version but he need feedback : Working on a new revision of the modded drivers. | GAMENAB

 

I am looking soo much forward to Nvidia commenting on this! :yes:

 

Which, if im thinking right, the 120hz screen is a edp, since it plugs into what im pretty sure is the edp on the motherboard as opposed to the 60hz that runs on the lvds port.

 

Yes i agree the 120 hz should be an eDp display, that's just the begginning, let's see how it come. He is using an asus G751j and a clevo for info.

Same here, that would be fun if they can't do anything, in fact they might need a new firmwire in their Gsync chip

 

I'm sure it's very similar to freesync, but they gave the market a good kick towards it which is nice. I can't feel too hung up about it for that reason.

 

In that way i agree, BUT the main problem in my eyes is the thing that you need a display with gsync so a new display. Most screen since 2010 should be able to do this since VESA have already implement this. It's an other nvidia "feature" ... it remind me a little the "new iphone feature " aka copy paste ...

 

Been watching the guys over on overclock.net talk about this. A few people went into the driver and found there is no real change to it, no script, just a "custom" splash screen for the installer.

So, seems to be bogus.

Well ... that was too good to be true as we said. Sorry for the lost of time, i will update the first page.

 

One of comments there claims that it worked on MSI GT72 with LG IPS screen.

 

highly doubt it. You need the g-sync board to get it to work.

 

Look yourself

 

I still don't believe it. Many more companies would be using the tech on their machines if it was that easy to implement.

 

Double Post

 

This wouldn't be the first time someone hacked NVIDIA's drivers to unlock stuff they were purposely locking out. Way back when you needed a "compatible" SLi motherboard aka someone paid NVIDIA royalties to allow them to sell it as SLi the drivers got hacked so you could run SLi on everything that was a certain CPU or higher.

 

SO looks like no one hacked anything here. a person was having issues with thier laptop, the company that makes it sent him a experimental driver from nvidia... turns out its a driver nvidia sent out to laptop makers to test for mobile gsync.

While it doesnt seem to be working on my 17, that doesnt mean it wont ever work. The driver was for a msi, so alienware may infact come out with one that does work.

 

Nobody can be sure in this based on nvidia's words. And guess what! DSR is coming to notebooks too... not just in filthy nvidia words.

Spoiler

 

I'm not that interested in GSync but definetly interested in DSR.. I want it ASAP! But first, can NVIDIA fix this stupid Maxwell OC lock crap in 347 drivers!!!
