Hey All,
So I am thinking of picking up a Gsync monitor when they finally start shipping again but I have noticed that you need to use the display port for this to function properly. I have NEVER used the display port at all.
Can I just purchase a generic cord? What are good brands of display port cords ??
Thanks so much
Regards,
Andrew

A generic cord will work just fine. This is the age of digital monitor signaling so therefore cord quality doesn't matter much. Unless of course you are overclocking your monitor

As a G-Sync user, I would never trade this monitor for anything. That includes 4K.

Most of nVidia's marketing for G-sync shows benefit for those that don't own the best graphics cards (or in the case of 4K displays, not being able to afford the extremely expensive), synchronizing the rendering with refresh reduces the tearing seen normally with laggy gameplay-- G-sync with components that would otherwise eliminate lag isn't necessary.

Vsync is synchronizing the GPU output with the monitor refresh. G-Sync synchronizes the monitor refresh rate with the output of the GPU. In other words, the refresh rate of the monitor varies in a 1:1 ratio with the frames being output by the GPU. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/g-sync G-Sync eliminates tearing entirely.
