Gsync

Hi!

Im about to buy a CLEVO P950HR. It doesnt have Gsync. Im media artist and uses it mostly for stuff like realtime graphics and videoediting.

Two questions:
1) Is gsync something I need to care about?
2) Where is the gsync adjusted? In the graphics card or in the monitor? Or in both? What if I connect the Clevo P950 to a monitor that support Gsync. Does my graphiccard output GSynced signal to an external monitor if it supports gsync from the GFX 1070 graphicscard, just that the internal monitor on the laptop cannot support it?

Thanks

 

G-Sync is primarily for gaming, so if you're not doing that, then it will be of no relevance for you. For content creation, the more important factor to consider is color accuracy. Something like a Dell UP2716D, which covers 100 percent of the sRGB and Adobe RGB color spectrums and 98 percent of DCI-P3.

 

ok thanks for input. Im creating a lot moving graphics though particles etc. but maybe I can live without gsync.

but what about, can I get gsync if I connect it to a Gsyn supported monitor?:

2) Where is the gsync adjusted? In the graphics card or in the monitor? Or in both? What if I connect the Clevo P950 to a monitor that support Gsync.

100 and 98 percent of the adobe rgb spectrum, is the gamut not color accuracy, they are not entagled with each other. delta values closer to 0. that is color accuracy. the monitor is great but just trying to teach you something. it can display 1 billion colors vs 16.7 million...yet that does not mean all the hues will be true to life.

 

G-Sync needs to be supported by the graphics card and the monitor. The NVIDIA driver automatically detects if you have a supported display connected. You enable/disable it and configure it for full-screen or windowed and full-screen through the driver control panel.

 

And nvidia gtx 1070 supports g-sync I guess. So if there is a laptop with a gtx 1070 inside that doesnt support Gsync, it actually is the display the dont support gsync? So if you connect it to an external monitor with gsync support it works fine?

 

If you connect an external G-Sync enabled display, the external display will be able to use G-Sync just like any Nvidia based desktop card,
However G-Sync on Laptop screens requires a G-Sync licence which is normally in the System Bios/EC which in this licence cookie will have the LCD and GPU type assigned.
If any of the requirements aka the screen or the gpu doesn't match what the Licence is looking for the G-Sync option for the laptop screen will not appear in the Nvidia Control Panel for the laptop screen.

So if your laptop wasn't G-Sync enabled from the factory it will not be possible to enable G-Sync on the laptop screen only an external G-Sync display.

 

hmmm..so my 1070 has gsync but not with the internal display. It would be cool if it worked on an external gsync display though but I don't have a gsync monitor to try.

 

P870DM? It should, most of the models without Optimus or with it on a switch in the BIOS do IIRC.
