NVIDIA G-SYNC now Supports FreeSync/VESA Adaptive-Sync Technology
NVIDIA finally got around to realizing that the number of monitors with VESA adaptive-sync overwhelmingly outnumber those supporting NVIDIA G-Sync, and is going ahead with adding support for adaptive-sync monitors. This however, comes with a big rider. NVIDIA is not immediately going to unlock adaptive-sync to all monitors, just the ones it has tested and found to work "perfectly" with their hardware. NVIDIA announced that it has found a handful of the 550+ monitor models in the market that support adaptive-sync, and has enabled support to them. Over time, as it tests more monitors, support for these monitors will be added through GeForce driver updates, as a "certified" monitor.
At their CES event, the company provided a list of monitors that they already tested and that fulfill all requirements. G-Sync support for these models from Acer, ASUS, AOC, Agon and BenQ will be automatically enabled with a driver update on January 15th.
Update: We received word from NVIDIA that you can manually enable G-SYNC on all Adaptive-Sync monitors, even non-certified ones: "For gamers who have monitors that we have not yet tested, or that have failed validation, we'll give you an option to manually enable VRR, too."
Update 2: NVIDIA released these new Adaptive-Sync capable drivers, we tested G-SYNC on a FreeSync monitor.

Maybe a few more posturing bits like "dear god" and bolded text will increase the relevance.
Oh, I see you've added one: "walls of text are pointless". Since it's clear you have nothing on-topic to discuss I'm out.

There is no substance here. Just a lot of words to convey the fact you don't like the tone of this discussion. OK. We got the memo - except everyone responding to you was already asking for that substance, including myself. We were listening - waiting, for you to make your point or drive it home. My 'dear god' got in there because after a few responses from others, we we were still not clear on the point of the post I linked above.
You can leave whenever you want to... but all this was is a bit of miscommunication. Literally nobody responded to your post's content, its up to you to figure out why. Or you can turn around and leave. All the same to me...
Everything works well and games tend to feel smoother, but under 30? 45? (its hard to be sure, i cant find the freesync range advertise for my screen) FPS i get these frames with different brightness, they're super fast and hard to see, some lighter some darker.
Overall its actually encouraged me to look into a Gsync screen in the future, as i've been shown the potential Gsync has to offer over regular Vsync
this shows Nvidia is actually capable of making their loyal customers happy and not just keep screwing them over and over :D
I've been wanting to upgrade to either a 1440p ips monitor for awhile and maybe its time to get one with freesync
