NVIDIA fixes G-SYNC Pulsar. The new firmware eliminates image errors below 90 FPS.

Calendar 3/15/2026

NVIDIA has released a firmware update version 1.1.4 for monitors equipped with G-SYNC Pulsar technology. The update focuses on improving image sharpness in situations where the frame rate drops below 90.

End of "ghosting" at lower FPS

The main aim of update 1.1.4 is to optimise the performance of Pulsar technology, which combines refresh rate synchronisation with backlight strobing technique. Until now, players dropping below the threshold of 90 frames per second could perceive annoying, sharp "double images" (ghosting). The new firmware completely eliminates this effect, ensuring crystal-clear motion even during more demanding moments of gameplay. Additionally, the update fixes the built-in FPS counter in the monitor, which previously had issues correctly displaying values below 90 fps. A fun fact for retro and console fans is the addition of a constant 60 Hz strobing mode.

List of Supported Monitors

The update is intended for an elite group of the latest monitors supporting G-SYNC Pulsar. The list includes:

  • Acer Predator XB273U F5

  • AOC AGON PRO AG276QSG2

  • ASUS ROG STRIX Pulsar G27AQNGV

  • MSI MPG 272QRF X36

How to update your monitor? All you need is a browser

NVIDIA has prioritised maximum convenience. You don't need to install any hefty software packages. The whole process takes place directly in your web browser.

What do you need for the update?

  1. Micro-B USB cable: You must connect the monitor directly to your computer (PC, Mac) or even an Android tablet.

  2. Update mode: Once connected, you need to switch the monitor to Firmware Update Mode (the status LED will start blinking slowly).

  3. 5-10 minutes of patience: This is usually how long the process of uploading new firmware takes.

Important note: The update is fully official and supported by the manufacturers, so it does not void the warranty. Furthermore, the tool allows for a safe return to an older version of the firmware if for some reason you are not satisfied with the new one.
