NVIDIA has unveiled nan G-Sync Pulsar, which it calls nan “latest improvement of [its] pioneering VRR (variable refresh rate) technology,” astatine CES 2026. The caller tech promises a gaming acquisition that’s free of stutter pinch buttery soft motion, which is made imaginable by pulsing nan display’s backlight. G-Sync Pulsar displays person aggregate horizontal backlight sections that are pulsed independently from apical to bottom, dissimilar accepted displays whose backlight is ever on. When nan backlight is ever active, nan image fades from 1 framework to nan next. The displays pinch nan caller tech springiness pixels successful a framework capable clip to stabilize earlier they’re backlit truthful that they’re shown successful their correct locations, efficaciously reducing monitor-based mobility blur.
The institution says G-Sync Pulsar tin efficaciously quadruple your refresh rate. If you’re playing astatine 250 fps, that intends it tin present a perceived effective mobility clarity of complete 1,000 Hz. That enables easier search and shooting in-game, making displays pinch nan exertion particularly suited for esports. You tin spot nan quality successful mobility successful Counter-Strike 2 betwixt a 360Hz show without G-Sync Pulsar and 1 pinch nan exertion switched connected successful nan video below.
The first 4 displays designed specifically to support G-Sync Pulsar and Ambient Adaptive Technology, which allows users to automatically set colour somesthesia and brightness based connected ambient lighting, will beryllium disposable starting connected January 7. Acer, AOC, ASUS and MSI will each beryllium releasing a 27-inch 2,560 × 1,440 IPS display, which comes pinch a 360Hz refresh complaint and 500 nits of highest brightness successful HDR.
