Asus has announced the release of the world’s first 500Hz Nvidia G-Sync gaming monitor

Today, Nvidia and Asus will unveil the world’s first 500Hz G-Sync display at Computex 2022. While we saw a prototype 500Hz gaming monitor earlier this year, Asus is now promising a shipping 24-inch 500Hz TN panel designed for 1080p esports titles. However, Asus has not mentioned pricing or a release date for their new ROG Swift 500Hz display.

The news comes just over two years after Nvidia and Asus collaborated to launch 360Hz gaming monitors for esports at CES 2020. PC gamers have often purchased 144Hz gaming monitors, although 240Hz panels are still uncommon. So while 500Hz may appear to be overkill, Nvidia thinks it will make a difference for competitive gamers seeking the best of the best.
