The refresh rate trend has drastically boomed, and it continues to do so this year. At CES 2020, Nvidia and ASUS have revealed the first Nvidia G-Sync monitor to reach 360Hz of refresh rate, designed for esports or competitive gaming.
The ASUS ROG Swift 360 uses G-Sync, a variable referesh rate (VBR) tech that syncs the monitor refresh rate and the GPU’s so frame-tearing is avoided. With a 360Hz monitor, the frame is updated every 2.8ms, which means it has low latency. Perfect for competitive players where every frame counts.
The screen itself isn’t that big- only 24.5″ with 1080p resolution. But the focus here isn’t immersion, it’s precision.
The ASUS ROG Swift 360 is being demoed at CES right now featuring pro players at the helm to showcase its competitive edge. Esports is making serious money right now, and it makes sense why so many hardware companies are focusing on low-latency of displays right now.
