An announcement on the G-Sync Pulsar technology was made by the business at the CES 2026.
It was at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 when NVIDIA introduced the G-Sync Pulsar, which the company describes as the "latest evolution of [its] pioneering VRR (variable refresh rate) technology." The new technology promises to deliver a gaming experience that is devoid of stuttering and has animation that is buttery smooth. This is made possible by pulsating the illumination of the display. In contrast to conventional displays, which have a backlight that is always on, G-Sync Pulsar displays include numerous horizontal backlight areas that are pulsed individually from top to bottom. As the backlight remains on at all times, the image gradually becomes less distinct from one frame to the next. The displays that are equipped with the new technology allow pixels in a frame sufficient time to stabilize before they are illuminated. This ensures that the pixels are displayed in the appropriate locations, which effectively reduces motion blur that is caused by the monitor.
According to the manufacturer, G-Sync Pulsar has the potential to virtually triple your refresh rate. It is possible for it to give a perceived effective motion clarity of more than 1,000 Hz if you are playing at a frame rate of 250 frames per second. Due to the fact that this makes tracking and shooting in-game much simpler, displays that use this technology are particularly well-suited for use in esports. In the video that follows, you will be able to observe the difference in motion in Counter-Strike 2 between a 360Hz display that does not have G-Sync Pulsar and one that has the technology turned on.
Beginning on January 7, users will be able to purchase the first four displays that have been specifically developed to feature G-Sync Pulsar and Ambient Adaptive Technology. This technology enables users to automatically alter color temperature and brightness according on the lighting conditions prevailing in the surrounding environment. Acer, AOC, ASUS, and MSI are all going to release a 27-inch IPS panel that measures 2,560 × 1,440 pixels. This display will come equipped with a refresh rate of 360Hz and a peak brightness of 500 nits in high dynamic range (HDR).
