I have a very special video for you guys today and the product is right here or at least the product box this is the asus rog swift gaming monitor and so this product out there that i've gotten a ton of requests for to do some coverage on it is this monitor it's actually set up right here behind me I have a whole gaming rig set up out here in my living room so I can get the AC and do some actual gameplay now this monitor features not only G sync but it's a 27-inch monitor really really fast refresh rate it can do 144 Hertz and the G sink means everything is going to be super smooth and it's gonna synchronize your graphics cards output with the refresh rate of your monitor and from whatever / that's very fantastic now I don't get to do a whole lot of gaming but I do enjoy it so today I've set this all up so I can do some hands-on gameplay for you guys give you some of my reactions and some of my feedback and see how that goes so I'm really excited and I think yeah let's just get started so one of the immediate side effects actually of getting the RZ Swift is that friends who have been really really really wanting to try it out we'll just kind of materialize and start playing video games so Steve Steve's right here and that's okay though it'll give us something something to look at while I'm talking so we're gonna press on here he's playing some battlefield 4 and if you're wondering what's video cardies on it's the gtx 780 Ti now first with GeForce you need to use an Nvidia graphics card and it has to be a GTX 650 Ti boost or better in order to actually use g-sync and in fact you actually need to have a DisplayPort connector as well as you can see here as Steve is playing the frame rate is fluctuating it's going from 80 to 84 to 70 and up and down a little bit and that's normal but normally if you have vsync on it'll cap it to like 60 frames per second if that's what your vsync is set to so g-sync will sync up the monitors refresh rate with the frame rate the graphics card is able to put out and then you end up having a nice smooth frame rate even if it bounces up and down a little bit you're not gonna see the errors and glitches such as tearing that he gets it if you don't have do you think I've been kind of listening in to Steve as he mumbles things to himself as he plays and he was noting that the resolution of this monitor 2560 by 1440 this is a nice jump up from his 1080 monitor which is one of the great benefits of this so that combined with 144 Hertz refresh rate it really makes it smooth and just to round out the specs we have a 350 CDM brightness 1000 to 1 contrast ratio and at sixteen point seven million display colors even though this is a TN panel which they did in order to get the 1 millisecond response time it can still do sixteen point seven million colors because it is an actual 8-bit penny and now we've moved on to some star citizen Steve just shown us is a fancy new ship this is the star citizen dogfighting module and we have pretty much full max settings right now 780ti is giving us between 35 40 and up to about 60 frames per second sometimes going beyond of course and again what you think you don't have to worry about it even if it's in that little middling like 30 to 45 frames per second range because it still keeps up I do want to show you guys some of the controls down here in the bottom right cuz they're actually pretty pretty good the way AC says done I'm Steve you mind uh Connect connect do that real quick maybe can I can I do the controls it's down here in the bottom right you have five buttons are actually tucked just behind the back right here so first off look how quickly this turns off and on tada on there's no splash screen or anything that's pretty sweet above that you have the turbo key so by pushing this button it goes from 144 Hertz to 120 to 60 so you can easily switch back and forth between those different modes and above that you have the game plus button this is the cheaters button so you can push this to turn on crosshair or timer so you can put a cheating crosshair in the middle of the screen above that so I mean I figure out how they get out of that yeah but then you have the exit button oh I guess that would have helped just a second ago then above that is a little five way knob so you can push in on that as a button to bring up another menu or you can use that to navigate around we have now moved on to some grid 2 and with everything pretty much maxed out we're seeing not quite a hundred forty-four frames per second but it is easily getting upwards of ninety to a hundred and sometimes even beyond that to 120 130 depending on what map you're on of course you know Steve I hate to interrupt you again but I'd like to show this Stan's like height tilt swivel pivot you think you could take another quick break there's like four more races left before I progress nice just did a really good job on the stand here as you can see can easily raise or lower it you can do tilts you have about minus five degrees or plus 20 degrees to tilts you can rotate it either way as well quite easily the ring on the bottom I'm actually light up but you can turn that off as an option and then you can also pivot so if you want to go from portrait to landscape you can do that as well really really nice stand but even if you don't want to use it there's also a 100 millimeter vase amount on the back seat swap that out if you wanted to add it to a different standard wall-mounted steve has moved on to some chivalry now enjoying the new is this a new expansion Deadliest Warrior and I haven't played it so I wouldn't call it new but definitely want to seem like I know what I'm doing right now I don't when I when I compare it to the the vg2 for 8qe that I have at home I love that monitor it's super fast response time and and 1 millisecond response so on top of that 144 Hertz refresh rate which is really like the major difference for me when I'm playing a game this is what it's 2560 by 1440 I mean and 27 inches versus the 24 inch Morrow that I currently home this is amazing it's so much faster than then what any other 1440p monitor that I've ever used but I did turn off g-sync just to see what it was like as if I had 844 Hertz refresh rate monitor straight up and I I couldn't see the difference and maybe that's because I'm not playing around that that that sweet spot of 45 FPS and I don't know if that's just me and my eyes or not but I couldn't and I don't normally play with vsync on either that's something I never do so that might just be the games that I'm playing and maybe the this awesome 780ti that's in this this rig I at home have a GTX 780 so maybe it just needs to be more testing I think Paul I need more more time so you need to play the monitor more really it's the conclusion here conclusion is a more time with the monitor you take another month or so I could I could really hone down thoughts on this okay well this is the end of the video so Steve thank you for coming and playing games at my house all day thank you for having me and can you think everyone and tell them to subscribe to my channel and stuff yes everybody who's watching this awesome video from this awesome gentlemen that's filming me right now and Paul's hardware you guys should definitely subscribe and like this video because it's amazing any they served me beer who gets that when they get the game from Russia I don't know it actually gives me should come hang out morrow we should alright cheers guys thanks for watching guys see you later you
