Samsung 2020 - G7 & G9 1000R Monitors

[Mr Latte]

It seems a long way since CES 2020 in Jan when these were first announced and shown.
G7 as of writing appears to be available to order and G9 is to ship from mid-July.

I am currently building a cockpit to incorporate the 49" model, but have had mixed thoughts on going with this incredible looking 1000R display or the new CX OLED 48" TV.

In fairness, I have been swaying towards this 49" Super Ultrawide format with it suiting sim racing and good with multi-tasking and no borders or hassle with multi-screens.

I personally intend to wait however to later in the year as a few months after release we can usually see from previous versions they drop a couple of hundred quid @ £1100 to about £1000.

Last year's model was well-received by owners so it should be a superb display with the new improvements it brings. 1000R with apparently faster response and official Nvidia Gsync seems to be the more interesting factors.

Will be interesting to see upcoming reviews on these rather exciting looking displays. I wonder too if some would consider triple G7 monitors?

If interested feel free to discuss or share your own thoughts and user opinions if you buy.

@EsxPaul, have you tried to set Low Latency to Off, it might slightly increase latency, but usually helps with framerate stability. I am pretty sure it does help with ACC.

I haven't touched that setting at all. In fact, I've hardly ever delved into the Nvidia control panel as I don't really know what I'm touching. I think the only setting I've altered is to set pre rendered frames to '1'

I'll give your suggestion a try though and thanks for mentioning it

Prerendered frames are gone, now it's called Low Latency. What driver do you use, something from 80s?

I must be going senile

I'm sure I pretty recently changed that setting from down from 3 to 1 but it must have been an in game menu setting rather than NCP. I'll have to go and refresh my memory!

 

[EsxPaul]

Doh, I'm only slightly loosing my memory. I had set 'Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames' to 1

@Andrew_WOT , do these settings look sensible enough?

 

[Deleted member 197115]

Power Management - Prefer maximum performance
Vsync - On, Off in ACC.
Also try to play with frame limiter in the game. Start with Unlimited and then try to drop it to your average framerate you get during play.
Are you on the latest GeForce drivers?

Thanks. I'm on what I think is the latest driver which I downloaded within the last week.

I'll give the suggestions a back to back comparison and see if it gives an improvement.

BTW, any success with 240hz VRR on? I am fighting with stuttering in Days Gone myself on 38" LG monitor even at 120fps, so these things can be very title specific and require different remedy.

 

[Deleted member 197115]

Days Gone fixed by switching Power Profile to High Performance which keeps all cores at their max, something to try with ACC to see if this helps there as well, SteamVR automatically forces High Performance option for a reason.

The above settings fixed the microstuttering in ACC for me alongside:
G9 @ 120Hz VRR on
ACC framrate limit @ 120

It's much more enjoyable now that it's not stuttering through each corner. Thanks so much Andrew

I would try with VRR off as well, in my case it was pretty bad at 120hz. Are you using 10bit or 8bit as depending on that you are getting DSC signal or not.

I did try with VRR off and it seemed equally as smooth in game. The only problem is that I then see flickering with normal desktop windows, especially when interacting with SimHub.

To be honest, I've never looked into the 8bit/10bit colour stuff through pure ignorance and not understanding it. I wouldn't even know what I'm using or how to set it up

 

[Deleted member 197115]

Once you set refresh rate to 240hz in OSD (as seems like this is needed for monitor to start advertising DSC support) you can set effective refresh rate to 240 or 120 hz (your choice) in NVCPL but you can also choose 10bit color depth instead of default 8bit.

 

[EsxPaul]

Thanks, I'll give that a try and see if I can notice a difference.

Sorry for another noob question but is the above a set and forget setting or does it work on a game by game basis depending on if said game has support for 8bpc/10bpc?

 

[Deleted member 197115]

Global, but clean driver install always resets it to Default which is 8bit.

Hi all, do any of you know what the latest model of this monitor is:

SAMSUNG Odyssey G95 LC49G95TSSUXEN Quad HD 49" Curved QLED Gaming Monitor - Black & White

Wide Quad HD 5120 x 1440p; Refresh rate: 240 Hz; Response time: 1 ms; Input: HDMI / DisplayPort; USB 3.0 x 2; Can be wall mounted

www.currys.co.uk

I'm looking at that page and can see it's called "Odyssey G95 LC49G95TSSUXEN"

Is this the latest release of the G9?

 

[Deleted member 197115]

It is the latest 49" 240hz model released in 2020, SKU can be different based on region or HW revision.
But there are also rumors on a new model coming in 2021.

 

[Lloyd Johnston]

Cheers @Andrew_WOT

I might wait a few months to see if there will be a 2021 update

 

[Deleted member 197115]

@EsxPaul, have you tried to set Low Latency to Off, it might slightly increase latency, but usually helps with framerate stability. I am pretty sure it does help with ACC.

@EsxPaul, was doing some additional testing today in challenging day/night transitioning with accelerated time progression. Low latency Off really helps with occasional hiccups and smooths things out even more. Try that.

 

[Dan Marr]

Has anyone got a link to the latest firmware please? I think mine is fully updated but I'm getting horrendous flickering with Gsync on a 1080ti and it's making me feel so hoping to see if this resolves it!

FIXED - I needed to set the VRR Control to ON (so the GPU sends the instructions) and fixed it on my PC. My eyes will be fine now!)
