The frame rate is one of the most important specifications for gaming monitors. That is theframes-per-second(FPS) spec that tells uses how quickly aVDU(Visual Display Unit) refreshes picture frames.
In 2019, 240Hz monitors had the highest frame rates. However,ASUShas now raised the bar for frame rate speeds with the ROG Swift 360 monitor.
ROG Swift 360 is the new standard for Esports
ASUSand itsNVIDIApartner unveiled the ROG Swift 360Hz at CES 2020. That is, as its title suggests, amonitorwith a 360Hz frame rate.ASUSproudly boasts that the Swift 360 is the world’s fastestmonitor.
ThatVDUalso incorporatesNVIDIA’s G-Sync VariableRefresh Ratetech to eliminate screen tearing.
Aside from its lightening frame rate, the ROG Swift has a 24.5-inch display. That is a pretty standard display size for a gamingVDU. Of course,ASUShas had to compromise the Swift 360’s resolution, which amounts to a 1,920 x 1,080 FHD display, for the high frame rate.
ASUShas primarily released the ROG Swift 360 forWindows gaming. The Swift 360’s super-fastrefresh ratecombined withNVIDIAG-Sync will ensure super smooth and responsive gameplay and minimize latency.ASUSis touting the Swift 360 as an Esports monitor for competitive gaming.
360Hz is noticeably smoother than 240Hz
NVIDIAeven invited a five-time Counter-Strike: Global Offensive champion to try out the Swift 360. He was initially sceptical that a 360HzVDUwould be noticeably different than one with a 240Hz frame rate. However, he could tell there was a notable difference after playing thegameon the Swift 360.
ASUSalso showcased the ROG Swift PG32UQX monitor at CES 2020, which is anotherNVIDIAG-Sync monitor. The PG32UQX is a 32-inch4Khigh-dynamic-range gaming monitor with stunning picture quality.
Thatmonitor’s 144Hz frame rate is more modest compared with the Swift 360’s FPS specification. However, a 144Hz frame rate will still be perfectly sufficient for mostplayers.
So,ASUSis raising the bar for gaming monitors with the ROG Swift 360 and PG32UQX .ASUShas not confirmed specific release dates or prices for eithermonitor. However,ASUShas confirmed that it will release those VDUs later in 2020.
