Finally. I gave up buying a new monitor in May, in order to wait for Freesync monitor:)

I think NVidia very quickly adopts FreeSync. Cards priced at less than $300, account for more than half of the market. These consumers will not spend an extra $150 on the monitor with G-Sync. If, however, most of the monitors will have similar function practically for free, there is a good chance that people will buy AMD cards instead of NVidia only for this function. Also for this reason, mainly, in my opinion, have now been introduced R9 285, having to replace the R9 280/280x, that do not have Freesync. AMD currently has a cards with Freesync in nearly every price segment (R9 295X2, 290x, R9 290, R9 285, R7 260X and R7 260).

FreeSync-compatible scalers from MStar 😀 So it means IPS Monitor from Korea with 1440p and Freesync is comming?

So... sometime next year there are supposed to be the first monitors around that support freesync... but adaptive sync they don't, because the companies would have to integrate it into their drivers, correct? I'm not sure if I get those things right. There's gsync, only working with gsync module and nvidia cards. Then there will be freesync, most likely only working with freesync modules and (because of driver integration) amd cards. To me it sounds like adaptive sync will never find a way into desktop graphics drivers, because either company would undermine their own premium offer (the modules in that regard). If, and only if, I am right with what I said, there wouldn't be any reason to not by a gsync monitor if I have and nvidia card, right? I mean, besides the usual (bugs, price...)

Adaptive sync is what the monitor scalers will support as part of the DisplayPort 1.2a spec. FreeSync is AMD's hardware - driver support for adaptive sync. Nvidia is free to support adaptive sync in their drivers if their hardware is capable of the spec in full. AMD would clearly only discuss that AMD cards will support adaptive sync via FreeSync since they have no responsibility for whether Nvidia is able / willing to support adaptive sync as well, but they have mentioned that being part of the spec means that graphics vendors are able to support it (without any costs related to AMD in any way).

That makes sense, and I do understand. Yet I don't really see nvidia going for adaptive sync since they will want to milk the gsync cow for sometime longer. That's why I am thinking, there won't be any freesync support in geforce drivers, and probably no adaption of adaptive sync, or do I understand the things happening there wrong? I'm just considering buying a new monitor during the next months, that's why I am starting to look into the matter of gsync and probably competition to the ROG swift from asus...
