NVIDIA has revealed that ASUS will be releasing a new ROG Swift gaming monitor that supports incredibly high refresh rates of up to 500 Hz. The display features a brand-new, 24-inch 1080p E-TN panel that’s aimed at esports and designed to provide the best possible gaming experience for competitive titles. It also comes with NVIDIA’s G-SYNC Esports Mode with adjustable esports vibrance and NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer support, the latter of which allows users to measure end-to-end system latency with a GeForce GPU and NVIDIA Reflex mouse.
500Hz G-SYNC Esports displays are even faster, have even lower response times, and are specifically tuned for competitive games such as CS:GO, Valorant, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six Siege. Load up the video [above] to see how this new, cutting-edge display technology further improves target tracking and allows competitive gamers to spot enemies even sooner.
Running at fast frame rates on equally fast G-SYNC gaming monitors greatly reduces system latency, making controls and gameplay more responsive. And paired with a NVIDIA Reflex-compatible game, you can further reduce system latency, something that can be measured using the capabilities of NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer-compatible G-SYNC esports monitors.

A 500Hz VRR range would be handy for those really old games I play that run in excess of 300fps (like UT3). However I am completely unwilling to give up a good panel, higher resolutions, decent color, and good image quality for that. Plus such a small monitor size.
Etch a Sketch level graphics just aren't for me.
Even my son, who's 15 - doesn't give a **** about it. He doesn't even chase high end graphics - for the longest time he thought his Intel IGP was good enough because Minecraft ran fine. Now he's rocking an AMD 5700, and his games run (like crap, I think), but he's perfectly happy with it. I suppose unless some twitch streamer he watches starts hawking these, at any rate. Then he'd probably want the monitor, and never realize he's driving it at ... 35 FPS.

Seriously though, is someone going to use AI to play Pacman on this thing with a 3090 Ti and a 12900K?
