UPDATE: Nvidia has just unveiled its groundbreaking G-Sync Pulsar technology, set to launch on January 7, 2026, during CES 2026. This new system promises to eliminate motion blur, a game-changer for PC gamers seeking the ultimate visual experience.
Gamers can expect a new wave of Pulsar-compatible monitors from major brands like Acer, Asus, AOC, and MSI. With the G-Sync Pulsar technology, Nvidia aims to significantly enhance motion clarity by utilizing pulsing technology with individually split backlight sections. This innovation is designed to provide smoother gameplay and superior visual fidelity.
At CES 2026, Nvidia is not only introducing G-Sync Pulsar but also renewing focus on its DLSS 4.5 technology, further solidifying its commitment to advancing gaming experiences. While some may question whether this update will suffice against criticisms of “fake frames,” the excitement surrounding G-Sync Pulsar is palpable.
Until now, the traditional G-Sync technology has been effective but struggled with motion blur—an issue that Nvidia aims to resolve with this new release. Previously, Nvidia’s models like Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) and ULMB 2 addressed motion blur, but only at fixed refresh rates, often causing flickering. Pulsar technology is different; it dynamically adapts to the display’s refresh rate, a crucial improvement for gamers using Variable Refresh Rate (VRR).
Nvidia’s new G-Sync Pulsar operates on multiple horizontal backlight sections, employing a unique ‘rolling scan’ pulsing method. Nvidia claims these pulses occur at 25% of the frame time, allowing pixels to stabilize before being backlit. The result? Motion hold times are now four times shorter, drastically reducing motion blur. For gamers, this means that playing at 250fps will feel akin to gaming on a 1,000Hz monitor.
As the gaming community eagerly anticipates these advancements, the starting price for G-Sync Pulsar monitors is expected to be around $599. This marks a significant leap in VRR technology, reinforcing Nvidia’s position in the market while continuing to prioritize gaming alongside its AI initiatives.
With CES 2026 in full swing, Nvidia’s announcements are creating a buzz. The new technology is not just a technical upgrade; it represents a substantial enhancement for gamers looking for an immersive experience.
