NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible

Nvidia G-Sync technology has been around for five years. During that time, there has been some great gaming monitors launch at higher prices compared to FreeSync. This is due to the cost of the G-Sync hardware module. Nvidia has announced that it will bring G-Sync support to FreeSync monitors with a new certification program.

At CES, Nvidia announced that it has tested every single adaptive-sync (FreeSync) monitor available and certified specific ones for G-Sync support at a driver level. So far, 400 monitors have been tested and 12 specific models have passed. The VG258QR is one of the 12. If you own an Nvidia graphics card, then a driver update on the 15th of January will allow you to switch on G-Sync with the VG258QR.
