# Refresh Rate-Smoothing Technologies NVIDIA Debuted 'G-SYNC ULMB2' for 360 Hz Monitors By Colin Smith | Published 2023-05-29 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-sync-ulmb2 References: [thinkcomputers.org](https://thinkcomputers.org/nvidia-announces-g-sync-ulmb-2-over-1000hz-of-effective-motion-clarity/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nvidia-announces-g-sync-ulmb-2-over-1000hz-of-effective-motion-clarity) & [nvidia](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/g-sync-ultra-low-motion-blur-2/)  'G-SYNC' is a proprietary motion-smoothing technology launched by [NVIDIA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rog-swift-500hz) in 2015. The company today launched 'G-SYNC ULMB2,' the successor to this technology, with even greater performance for faster simulated refresh rates. The company's first G-SYNC iteration has since been supported by tens of thousands of monitors, as it is nearly a staple for professional gaming, delivering lossless image quality with incredibly smooth images without screen tearing. The ULMB 2 version, though, will push this performance even higher, but is only currently supported by two separate monitors. This is because ULMB 2 currently requires a 1440p panel with a 360Hz refresh rate minimum, meaning it is only supported by one [ACER](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nitro-xv240-f6) and one [ASUS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asus-rog-swift-pro-pg248qp) ROG Swift monitor at this time. However, for these monitors, while the actual refresh rate is 360Hz, with ULMB 2 G-SYNC enabled, the monitors would feel more like a 1440hz refresh rate.
