An Interesting Look Behind the Scenes at NVIDIA and Their G-sync Development

There’s a really fascinating video published recently by LinusTechTips, which looks at the inner workings of NVIDIA’s G-sync production, which we would recommend you watch if you have chance. It was filmed at NVIDIA’s gaming lab and looks at various aspects of their G-sync development, testing and validation procedures.

The video looks at, among other things, the following:

• The extensive tests done to test the TCON (timing controller) on G-sync displays for variable refresh rates
• How flicker is avoided and controlled when using VRR
• Panel validation procedures
• The very complex and time-consuming tests for G-sync Ultimate displays including operation of the FALD backlight, uniformity measurements, zone lighting and dimming
• A look at the inner workings of one of the forthcoming BFGD’s (Big Format Gaming Displays)
• How calibrations and measurements are done during production
• How overdrive is controlled for VRR environments
• Some of the inner workings of the G-sync module and FALD backlight systems
• Validation procedures and certifications
