Interesting change log, they added support for HDMI 2.1 VRR,
but how can it be used when the GPUs only have hardware wise max HDMI 2.0b?
I know that is also for the LG G SYNC update.

LG's 2019 OLED TVs certified NVIDIA G-SYNC on 20 and 16 series. Force VRR over HDMI coming too.

Explanation is rather simple really. Certain HDMI 2.1 features can be back-ported to HDMI 2.0b and that's how it works here.
Figured as much, worked the same with AV receivers, which got ALLM support.
I wonder when nVidia will release real HDMI 2.1 GPUs though.
Did the same, exchanged my E6D with the C9, happy with it, the only thing which is a bit sad is the remote control.
I liked the old one better, the silver one.
Nice, I can finally update from my beta driver.
G-Sync is damn amazing on the C9.
I don't think I can go back to my PS4 Pro again x)
I upgraded my C6 to the C9 this year. The C6 was wonderful but I have no regrets. HDR handling, latency, 120hz and VRR are massive improvements for the C9. Not to mention it'll support 120hz at native 4k soon too. Currently I play 2D platformers at 1440p/120hz and the motion clarity is insane compared to 60hz, more CRT-like without motion blur (really noticeable especially on 2D games). Playing games at 4k/120hz is going to be insane albeit for the latest games that won't be on Ultra settings even on my 2080 Ti! Roll on the 3080 Ti :)
I also have a B6
...and everytime I see these headlines, I always wonder if it's worth it for me.
I paid 2500 bucks for this tv, and it seems crazy to replace it after 3-4 years, but I am kinda itching at the thought.
Maybe I just wait til next year and have a very expensive "Holiday" with a new console and new TV.
I just got the C9, how should I take advantage of this? Use my TV as my computer monitor? If so, what games should I try and is a GTX 1080 good enough to run?
Same here. I have the B6 and wonder should I pick up a 9 series OLED or 10 with HDMI 2.1.
I want a TV that will pair well with next-gen consoles.

Here's a post from another topic earlier today:
TLDR: They're supposed to work together. G-Sync does not replace the need for V-Sync.
With this driver you can try and use NV's Ultra Low Latency + vsync + Gsync instead of capping the framerate.
Without vsync a game may run out of gsync window when it will run at higher fps than your display's maximum refresh rate (i.e. faster than 120 fps on a 120 Hz display) and this will lead to tearing.
Great, very useful thanks for that. So how do I know my 2080 Ti has recognised that my display (C9) is G-Sync compatible and confirm that it is definitely outputting in VRR? I'll be giving the new drivers a try tonight.
As far is I know you should only enable ULLM when you're GPU bound, otherwise it'll increase the input lag:

Might upgrade my B6 when the C9 is on offer at some point, let me know how the g-sync is working for you all please.

Let's make a pact, next gen bros.
Let us save our money and r.i.p in pieces our wallets next year
I'm already using it for a week. It's great. Gaming hasn't ever felt so smooth tome.
Worth upgrading from a B7A? Just canceled my Elite Controller Preorder and so tempted for gsync....
Will the B9 get gsync support or is it only for the C9? Would like to save a couple hundred if possible....
Edit nvm read the OP. That's kind of a bummer it's not going to the B9

Cool! purchased the 55 inch B9 right now. Ready for next gen and can't wait till Thursday! :)
Another question sorry....will gsync support work with Pascal cards or do i need an RTX card for it to work? searched on Reddit and seeing nothing.
So my C9 has the 4.70.05 update and my Titan Xp has the 441.08 update and I do not see any extra options for Enabling GSync anywhere like I do on my computer monitor.
You don't need an RTX card, just a Turing one (16 and 20 series).
Aww that's really a bummer. Titan xP owner. :(
Nvidia being Nvidia sounds like it.
Oh well i'm planning on upgrading to Ampere next year, but still disappointing.
Ah it's fine. I'm patiently waiting for the 3000 series. Hopefully it supports HDMI 2.1 so I can get the 4K120 goodness.
I've seen someone report that they can enable Gsync on Samsung 65NU8000 but they claimed there's blanking when VRR kicks in. Too bad there are no other reports as of now from Samsung TV owners.
Same here, no gsync option. Can anyone confirm they're actually using the c9 with gsync on the latest (non beta) drivers?
You have to have a Turing GPU in order to use gsync through HDMI(20 or 16 series)
Yep, C9+2080Ti and working fine here.
I did have to enable 'instant game response' (i.e. LG's term for VRR) on the TV though.
Great news Samsung TV owners!!! I've seen multiple reports on Reddit from Samsung NU8000 and RU8000 owners that Gsync works fine! Although some people report black screen flickering, which could mean this might be driver issue or Samsung needs to release updated firmware to fully support Nvidias implementations, just like LG did. But at least things are moving in the right direction.

Looks like some people with C9 also have black flickering in games when enabling Gsync and Nvidia is aware of this. Not sure if this is the same issue that is also on Samsung TVs. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...ce-44108-game-ready-driver-feedback-/2305372/
Yeah I just tried it out in a fullscreen game, was getting frame blacking/display black flickering, but it did ostensibly work in the range as I could see it.

I know people say this works now and also refer to LG's latest firmware update but there's nothing in the release notes for that firmware update that says anything about gsync support so there should still be another update coming?
NU 8000 120hz at 1440p and 1080p are alive for a flash, and then the screen flashes a few times and I get this:
So it is not supported there atm, kinda breaks the display.
