Knowing how Asus handled the Swift, that would mean around Christmas..

Good thing is that Monitors like this (IPS) are slowly coming \ being available.
Bad thing is that they will take forever to be released
Hey Vega, are you still offering your de-matte service? I may need you for this one!!
60Hz is a no go for me.
It supportrs 120Hz...albeit the 5ms GTG response time is questionable for an IPS panel. No point if it's only made possible for certain colour transitions, and with the application of a buttload of overdrive
60Hz is a no go for me.
Hey Black Octagon, looks like we may have found a proper successor to our Tempests! Hopefully this doesn't put Scribby out of business!

I ran my Korean at 110hz as well (sometimes 120hz), but switched to the 144hz Swift. It is MILES better..
The Swift colors are terrible, but it was worth the switch. 144hz is so much more usable than 110-120.
I was definitely tempted to go nVidia/Swift. In fact if the Swift was available without the matte coating I probably would have pulled the trigger. However, at this point I am glad I decided to wait. At the end of the day it was not worth it for me to sell my water cooled 290's for dual 980's to support the Swift. Not really a fan of paying the nVidia tax with all the FreeSync monitors around the corner.... right now I am burning through a few older games where I can maintain 110FPS minimums. Just waiting on the right variable sync replacement for the Tempest.
LOL did you even look at the specs? Or the title of the thread.
Epic fail
Wow... What are you 5?
Even still no G-Sync is an epic fail.

WOW this monitor will support Freesync

AMD will not blacklist any monitor that can support freesync.
Nice
If this really does have working freesync then it's most exciting 'monitor' out of CES. $599 is a competitive price too.
If Async is identical performance to Gsync then nvidia need to support it through drivers TBH because I would not pay more for the same thing if nvidia refuse to support Async, if Gsync is better then maybe it would be worth it but if they are identical not worth the extra money.
From a protocol standpoint Adaptive-sync could have an infinitesimally shorter latency than G-sync since it pre-negotiates GPU frame frequency tolerances where the latter spends time and some small amount of hardware resources polling the monitor controller for it to become ready.
On the other hand, G-sync's monitor scaler is basically hardware emulated on an FPGA and so could have some degree of future image quality improvement updates, but that's your gamble for the $150-$200 premium you pay over Adaptive-sync monitors.
Nvidia could trivially support Adaptive-sync on future GPUs but will likely never do so unless the number of Adaptive-sync monitors dwarfs the number of G-sync units sold and the manufacturers give up on them.
I hope there will be a G-Sync version of this, though I'm still cautious about the 5ms.
This is currently not correct.eventually all future monitors will support it unless they never update their DP standards.
What is the difference between this and my 1440p X-star OC'ed to 120hz that i got from 200 bucks on ebay? Is this going to be a worthwhile upgrade or nay.
Yeah this monitor will be out in TWO WEEKS or less...
I hope there will be a G-Sync version of this, though I'm still cautious about the 5ms.
Blah. Why do all of these monitors with gaming specs have to be so tiny? 27" really? I've had a 30" monitor since like 2007. I've been using a 34" curved 21:9 for the immersion factor, but it would be nice to have one with Gsync or gaming specs. Every time ASUS comes out with a monitor for gamers they are tiny and I don't get why.
