The same graphics card is also installed. The aforementioned GeForce GTX 980M currently represents the gold standard in the laptop sector. A matte IPS screen with 1920x1080 pixels is also part of the bundle.ĭifferences are only found in the processor. Asus has replaced the Core i7-4710HQ clocked with 2.5 - 3.5 GHz with the 100 MHz swifter Core i7-4720HQ. The G751JY will likely be a bit more expensive than the former model, which was priced at just below 2000 Euros (~$2192) at the time. We did not discover anything in online shops at test time. The review sample's biggest highlight is the so-called G-Sync technology. In contrast to certified desktop monitors, G-Sync laptops do not have an additional module. Like its main competitor AMD and its FreeSync technology, Nvidia also uses the open adaptive sync standard that functions via an embedded DisplayPort (eDP). The screen's refresh rate is adapted dynamically to the GPU frame rate to prevent screen tearing.

This system caused a few problems at its beginnings because the screen started to flicker below 30 Hz or even inclined to dropout completely.

We can give a green light: We did not ascertain flickering or the like in the tests with Batman: Arkham Knight, Dirt Rally and The Witcher 3. Unlike V-Sync, G-Sync is not to have a negative impact on performance (stutters, input latency, etc.). To what extent G-Sync is noticed depends on the game and the GPU's power.
