Asus announces world’s first 500Hz Nvidia G-Sync gaming display. 144Hz isn’t enough anymore
- Thread starter entremet
- Start date
I thought everyone except for Benq/Zowie moved on with from making TN panel gaming monitors lol. Look forward to seeing the RRP though ...
It benchmarks well at least. Could probably do more FPS with a 12900 and 5800x3D if using lower settings and internal render resolution + image reconstruction (how competitive players play).
Curious what the classic gaming crowd will think of this display. I mean eventually we're going to hit the point where a display like this paired with runahead and a good CRT filter is the absolute best way to play old games, right?
At what point can it just simulate the electron beam of a CRT?
Honestly I don't see the point of super high refresh rates on LCD. Seems like the PC monitor market is just chasing high refresh rates and nothing else. I want local dimming, better HDR, better scalers, etc...

Well unless you find a way to make classic 60fps games run at 500fps, it ain't gonna make much of a difference. For LCD motion to match a CRT you need absurdly high FPS, like 500-1000, or well-implemented Black Frame Insertion features for 60hz content.
This is a niche product, same as the 360hz monitor. The end goal is 1000hz.
This is not a trend nor does it impact anything.
Most people probably play at 1080p, but 4k? Steam's hardware survey puts 4K displays at under 3% of the total userbase, and given how many CS players still use 1024x768 after all these years, I'd wager the 4K audience for CS:GO is probably significantly lower than the average out of all Steam users.
Huh, no picture of a vaseline covered display showing 144hz next to the 500hz windexed 10 times gorgeous display.
Same here. I've got a 144hz monitor on my laptop and it seems like overkill since I can't really tell the difference at high framerates.
In my experience, I can no longer see a difference past ~100fps or so. 100fps and 165fps look exactly the same to me.
I just remember hearing that it could go up to 360hz (edit- my bad it's 340hz) on PC... remember seeing the console versions go up 100fps before the next gen versions, if I remember correctly.
So figured someone could mod it to make it go higher. 🤷🏾♂️

It's very specialized. So they're probably aware it's not mass market product.
While we may not see an appreciable difference in fluidity, higher refresh rates still provide other benefits. Input lag and, more importantly, motion resolution. At 1000Hz we'll have 1ms persistence, which finally approximately matches CRT persistence. We have some ways to go.
Would love to try one of these ultra high refresh rate monitors. I have been gaming on 144hz (previously 120hz on the first BenQ gaming TFT and also CRT) since forever. 60 to 120+ is a game changer and I wonder what 300+ feels like. Though I am not a competitive PC gamer and the purchase doesn't make sense for me. Still curious though
Yes I meant 1080p.
Both were mentioned.
I see probably 4k was in question, not 1080p.
I saw this and I immediately thought of Clone Hero. That game usually runs at a 1000fps
I wonder if 1080p at 500fps is better than 4K at 240fps or 144fps in terms of playing either a shooter or a RTS. I think there's a benefit on pixel precision/having more real estate.

Find me a graphics card that can push this in any game that isn't over a decade old or something like CS: GO and I'll bite.
EDIT - Oh, 1080p? Psh. Peasant resolution. As if. 💁🏼♀️
