An interesting observation was made today, an ingenious contemporary change in the text on the Nvidia website seems to indicate that NVIDIA has lowered the requirements for top of the line G-Sync Ultimate certification. The VESA DisplayHDR 1000 requirement has changed to ‘realistic HDR’.
In the past, NVIDIA applied strict qualifications to the Ultimate specification; G-Sync Ultimate requires mandatory features, such as VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and a G-Sync module. And that means that a monitor must offer at least 1000 nits of brightness (peak) performance. Things that are tested by NVIDIA and then certified, I must mention, where they perform over 300 tests.
The previous specification list required 1000 nits of maximum brightness
The new script shows 1000 Nits being changed to ‘realistic HDR’. And this is a very fluent formulation; this value can be anything you need to be deciphered. Previously, the HDR 1000 requirement had to be paired with an expensive G-SYNC module for this G-Sync Ultimate tag, as very well noted by website monitors.
What if a manufacturer offers a 400 or 600 nit monitor with a GSYNC module? Yes, in this text, even that could be marked as G-SYNC ultimate and you would still pay the certification premium.
