NVIDIA Launches G-SYNC ULMB 2: 2nd Gen Ultra Low Motion Blur Tech With 1000 Hz Motion Clarity
NVIDIA has introduced its 2nd Gen ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur) G-SYNC technology which delivers an effective motion clarity of up to 1000 Hz.
The ULMB 2 (Ultra Low Motion Blur) technology extends upon the original introduced back in 2015. This time, the company is delivering an effective motion clarity rate of over 1000 Hz which should make a huge difference in competitive gaming and eSports titles. With ULMB 2 technology, NVIDIA expects to deliver full refresh rate backlight strobing, close to 2x the brightness, and zero crosstalk.
NVIDIA GeForce News: When NVIDIA launched the original ULMB technology in 2015, monitor response times (the time it takes for a pixel to transition colors) were relatively slow, causing substantial ghosting and blurry images, resulting in poor motion clarity. Motion clarity is best described as the ability to clearly see and comprehend objects in motion. Sharp edges and non-blurry details are hallmarks of good motion clarity. To improve motion clarity, ULMB enabled a technique called backlight strobing (more on that in a moment).
To achieve backlight strobing, ULMB disables the backlight 75% of the time. This 25% duty cycle on a max 300 nit panel meant that the images would be clear, but less bright. With the original ULMB, we would need to wait longer for the pixels to transition to the right place before turning on the backlight due to the slower pixel response times in 2015. To compensate, ULMB would reduce the refresh rate to give the pixels more time to transition. Because of these drawbacks, competitive gamers often chose not to use the feature as the full refresh rate and bright image were more desirable.
