November 24, 201411 yr ...but it has been very absent from AVSIM. Nobody has ordered one, yet? They have been out since the first month of this year... Here's people throwing hundreds of dollars at a one-step-up series graphics card upgrade, with truly negligible R.O.I. for going beyond an nVidia 600 series card, yet for about the same money, can get G-Sync enabled monitor that will run with a 600-700-900 series nVidia card.....which will most likely cure/do away with, visible stutter and blur. Yet...nobody is posting ownership of any of the monitors now enabled... http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/g-sync/where-to-buy-g-sync-monitors-and-modules If I were a true early-adopter, this is the first purchase that I would have thrown money at, but not being one historically, am curious, as there are plenty of first adopters who frequent AVSIM! A new graphic card series is released, and a week or less, later, one and a few, are posting their purchase of it.... Interesting....

November 24, 201411 yr Author The thing holding me back is the $$$$$$$$$$$. It's absolutely ridiculous, and in my humble opinion, going to kill the tech. Pman, it is not much more than going for a top end graphics card just to see an end to stutter, by hopefully, the route for FPS increases. I think that I have made my decision to stay with my present GTX 680, and eventually hook it up with a top end G-Sync monitor. I firmly believe that this is where true good money, will not follow `bad`. Many, have purchased a new top-end graphics card one, or two series up from their previous, only to find minimal relief from stutter and tear upon the screen, by not running in V-sync mode. This is definitely the path that I will take before another graphics card is ordered! There are two G-Sync enabled monitors that are around $500.00, so are right there neck and neck with a GTX 970 series card. Pman, for those who dropped $1,000 dollars on a Titan....did not see anything close to performance being realized, that dropping that massive coin on that purchase, in retrospect, rendered. Flight sims are CPU constipated, (proven, time and time, again) and throwing a high end G card at the sim platform, has proven futile. Other paths must be looked at...and I think nVidia's G-Sync is a path bathed in the 'white light'.... Ses
November 24, 201411 yr I'm waiting for IPS G-Sync monitors, I promised myself I'd never go back to TN panels.
November 24, 201411 yr Author I'm waiting for IPS G-Sync monitors, I promised myself I'd never go back to TN panels. I hope that they come, too. If not, then I will settle for a tweaked TN solution. But buying one...I will! Premium g-cards, have (in the present flight sim field) proven useless, if you run only a single monitor solution as I do. The only advantage (honestly and truly) that those having gone past a 600 series card has seen, is in horse-powering across three monitors at higher resolution settings, but yet...with the same stutter and animation pause, they always had previously...
