Microsoft has sent out a ton of units to "influencers".  As I said before, I expect them to slowly release content and updates on the console throughout the month with new info dumps each Monday or something like that.

 

Someone said the update took about 40 seconds when they hooked it up, so at least that's much more snappy than it used to be.

You’re wrong, it’s still called G-SYNC. It’s one of the 3 tiers nVidia lists as G-SYNC. If you really think it’s wrong to call it G-SYNC, please contact your local LG and nVidia representatives. 

That ad is deceptive AF, Trump must be writing their ads.  They specifically use the words "So far" and the date "5.7.20" -- which was ~6 weeks before the Samsung Q800T was released. 

 

NVidia has 3 tiers of displays in the "G-Sync ecosystem" -- NVIDIA never refer to "G-Sync compatible" displays as "G-Sync".  Despite your sarcastic comment, I've never seen a "G-Sync Compatible" display called a "G-Sync" display by NVIDIA.  Not once -- they ALWAYS use the full term "G-SYNC compatible".

 

In fact, rtings.com shows the Q800T as being "GSync Compatible" and the LG TVs as being "G-Sync Compatible (NVidia verified)".

When Nvidia added support for the LG TV's, they were pretty transparent on how they did it.

If you want to call any TV that will use VRR with a GeForce GPU "G-Sync", I never expressed any issue with that.  I did express a concern with suggesting that there was a VRR standard over HDMI called "G-Sync" that was distinct from HDMI2.1 VRR.

LG OLEDs DO NOT support G-Sync (i.e. they do not use the technology behind G-Sync) -- they are "G-Sync compatible"

BTW, @The def star, the issues with GSYNC might be separate from the issue with VRR. LG OLEDs are the only TV to support all 3 standards: Freesync (AMD), GSYNC (nVidia), and “VRR” (HDMI 2.1 standard).

The issue with GSYNC, afaik, only affects 3000 series cards and is that screen flickering could occur. The issue with VRR, however, is that the screen would get brighter when enabled - now, does it get brighter to the point it looks worse than an LED TV displaying a dark screen? No idea. Either way, LG announced the GSYNC fix as coming soon, and that they’re “working on” an update for VRR.

Simply calling it GSYNC without attached semantics, as per nVidia, as per LG, is literally what your entire issue was here. But OK.

    FORHONOR.UBISOFT.COM
    We share some important information regarding For Honor heading to next-generation consoles.


    Next-gen console players will be able to experience the highest-level of graphical enhancements that For Honor has to offer. These enhancements, carried over from the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro are now available, without compromises, on all next-gen consoles:

    • Improved Water Reflections
    • Improved Distance Level of Detail
    • Improved Shadow Resolution
    • Improved Texture Filtering
    • 4k Resolution (Xbox Series X, PS5) / 1080p (Xbox Series S)
    • 60fps on all next gen consoles

     

    For comparison, the Xbox One X ran For Honor at 1800p at 30fps.  Wondering how the other Ubi launch games will stack up on the Series S now.

    Shit like this is why I would never want to be a reviewer for any thing game related. You have a hand full of folks that are reporting it runs hot and every fan boy is acting like the reviewers punched their dead grandpa in the dick.

    Any of the reviewers actually measure temps? "Hot to the touch" really doesn't mean much, but a temperature reading would be a different story. Get a thermal cam on each console, get really stupid with it!

    It still outputs in 4k.

     

    This is where the Machine Learning will come into play as the generation goes on, and hopefully allow the Series S to still perform later in the generation.


    We’ll find out more with AMD’s presentation this month.  Chances are we’ll get something better than checkerboarding, but the real question is by how much.

    Considering nvidia is lightyears ahead of AMD when it comes to machine learning, I'm not holding my breath, but maybe there's hope!
