G-SYNC, a proprietary adaptive sync technology that NVIDIA introduced to gamers in 2013 to deliver smooth and stutter-free gaming, will be integrated into MediaTek scalers going forward, eliminating not only the need for a separate G-SYNC module, but also streamlining the production process and reducing costs, NVIDIA has announced. A highlight of this collaboration is G-SYNC Pulsar, a new technology that NVIDIA introduced in January 2024 for what it says is 4x the effective motion clarity alongside a smooth and tear-free variable refresh rate (VRR) gaming experience.
The suite of tech that the partnership brings includes:
- Variable Refresh Rate
- Variable Overdrive
- 12-bit Color Accuracy
- Ultra Low Motion Blur
- Low Latency HDR
- Reflex Analyzer
- Pulsar
- And more

Wasn't a big cost driver to begin with, IMO. G-Sync modules typically only shipped on higher-end LCDs that already cost quite a bit.
On the other side... I'm not sure that 'hardware' G-Sync does anything for OLEDs. High-end Freesync implementations tend to match G-Sync outside of the stuff that G-Sync did for LCD overdrive and so on.
Snake Oil?

For OLEDs? Probably. Not as much for LCDs where FreeSync implementations can differ dramatically.
