However world on the street is that the mobile incarnation, will work on ordinary laptops.

PC Perspective investigated an Nvidia driver leak and discovered it enables G-Sync on the ASUS G751, an excellent laptop released late last year without a G-Sync display module.

The site found that the ASUS G751 is in fact capable of refresh rates as high as 100Hz, which makes the 1080p panel quicker than some desktop G-Sync desktop monitors. There was no prototype or hidden G-Sync module was stuffed inside the ASUS notebook which means that hardware was not required.

There are still a few problems. A flicker that commonly appears with G-Sync monitors at low frame rates was encountered with the G751, and the laptop also suffered occasional "dropouts" which caused the display to go entirely blank.

Nvidia says the driver was provided to OEMs "to begin the process of validating and troubleshooting" the beast.
