I thought this might come eventually, but it is official coming to 10 and 20 series cards via driver update on 15 Jan 2019. Detailed info in the article from Anandtech: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13797/nvidia-to-support-vesa-adaptive-sync-with-gsync-compatible-branding
Getting access to the adaptive sync functionality of cheaper AMD Freesync monitors via NVIDIA cards is great for consumers. I can't help but think it is another blow against AMD's GPUs in that the attraction of being able to get adaptive sync via a cheaper monitor if you went AMD goes away with this new support from NVIDIA.
This info also perhaps explains the new ROG monitors I saw this morning (link). When this article came up in my new feed, I was thinking "Wha...? No G-Sync option??" But if ASUS perhaps knew this NVIDIA support was coming, why bother with G-Sync only monitors going forward?
