[QUOTE="Lysrin, post: 882203, member: 24761"] I think it's good news too, simply for the fact that G-Sync monitors were and continue to be crazy expensive. Having access to more reasonably priced 27" and larger monitors with adaptive sync that works regardless of GPU platform is awesome! Not sure if G-Sync will eventually get better lower pricing, or will simply fade away. It is superior to Freesync in some ways, I read, but I'm guessing not superior enough to warrant the price difference once an alternative adaptive sync option works on NVIDIA GPUs; particularly on high quality adaptive sync monitors that implement VESA adaptive sync correctly. The "G-Sync Compatible" branding is a bit confusing for the consumer. Not sure if NVIDIA is trying to muddy the waters there to keep the G-Sync name in people's heads or what. It's confusing to test and certify an adaptive sync monitor as "G-Sync Compatible" when in fact it isn't running G-Sync at all but rather an alternative adaptive sync tech. Nice to know the monitor meets some standard maybe, but confusing terminology. It should have been named "NVIDIA Adaptive Sync Certification" or something. [/QUOTE]
