Samsung also promises a 240HZ refresh rate and 1ms response time, so expect crisp frame rates and minimal input lag when playing competitive games The G9 supports both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD Radeon FreeSync 2 support, so no matter which GPU brand you use, you won't have to worry about screen tearing.
