The most important part here is if they can ditch the FPGA once and for all. Nvidia could have properly designed the G-sync module at any time, but I'm betting there wasn't any money in it for them. The high power consumption, respective heat output and the idle power draw caused by it is what stopped me from buying a monitor with a G-sync module.

I didn't even get far enough to consider those factors. For me, the main negative about G-Sync was that I never saw a true G-Sync monitor that also had any level of Freesync certification. I didn't want to be locked into one or the other, so I got a monitor that's G-Sync HD-compatible and FreeSync Premium Pro certified. I believe it's also one of the rare non- G-Sync monitors that has variable overdrive.

Due to the way the FPGA controls the ports I don't think it would be possible unless nvidia were to add support (which obviously would never happen).

At the time I was buying there weren't any good ultrawide options with Freesync support (LG had their 38" but LG also only carries 1 year warranty and no dead pixel protection) so I'd have rather gone G-sync. Though really outside of OLED 21:9 there are no good options still which is unfortunate because there are a bunch of great choices in 16:9 land.

Can someone explain to me why Nvidia is still putting/selling GSync modules in 2024?
I get that their pulsar tech probably wasn't baked into their previous gen models (Asus has had ULMB-sync for a few years now), but jeez, know when the horse is dead.
At this point, it really feels like they only keep doing it to sucker people into Nvidia GPUs for the life of their monitor.
