I have a pretty decent machine powered with an I7 3770 cpu, GTX 970 G1 from Gigabyte and a 4k G-sync Acer Monitor 1ms ecc.. ecc... and of course a Ubuntu Linux 14.10 OS to drive this rig.
I'm testing the linux implementation of G-sync tecnology with some games and Nvidia Drivers 346.47, for now i have tested:
The Witcher 2:
The game start with no problem, but when i load a save game the screen start flickering and freeze.
Portal 2:
Perfect, no problem at all.
Oil Rush:
Perfect, no problem at all.
Dota 2:
Perfect, no problem at all.
I'll continue testing it and update the post.

G-sync capped the maximum frame rate on pair with the maximum hz rate of the monitor.
My monitor is at 60 hz and to go over 60 fps i have to disable g-sync.
The tecnology is awesome, no tearing and the games are really smooth from 35-40 fps.

But believe me, 4k gaming is far more exciting that the 120-144 hz tecnology at 1920x1080 or 2K.

If you tell me, 120hz vs 60hz you'll see some difference, yes, 120-144 are really smooth and movemnts are like butter, but my personal preference is:
1- 4k
2- g-sync
3- 120-144 hz
And the Acer 4k 28 g-sync 1ms is the closer products to my needs.
