Indeed. I remember all the exciting talk the industry was awash with regarding adaptive sync. Oh wait no, nobody at all was discussing it until Nvidia jumped started everything with Gsync.

It's only after Nvidia came up with their own solution and shone light on just what a game changer the technology could be that everyone jumped on the AS bandwagon.
Don't let that get in the way of yet another of your tedious and ludicrously biased anti Nvidia trollfests though, is amusing to see an apparently grown man get so angry with a technology company.
AMD were working on Mantle for 2-3 years and only announced it when the did, where was the talking about it before that. Where was the talking about DP 1.3 before it was announced, where was the talk of g-sync months before it was announced. Why aren't we awash with industry information about what GPU Nvidia or AMD are releasing two years from now.
WHen a standard happens someone doesn't on their own go hey, industry we ARE doing this, ratify it and make it happen. Anyone suggesting it is mental and has no idea what they are talking about. 90% of talking about standards and new technology happens behind closed doors, it entirely not in the public domain. When freesync, or g-sync or Mantle, or just about any new tech is announced publicly it's at the point that 90% of the R&D is done and it's close or actually ready for public consumption. TO even suggest that if something was being talked about behind closed doors we'd all know about it is ridiculous. Again why didn't we know about G-sync before it was announced, you think they made, programmed and tested an fpga and the software on their side in a month, you think they didn't talk to Asus and other g-sync partners before they announced... honestly does that actually sound even possible to you?
Why don't you do research for a change, why don't you e-mail someone at a tech website and ask them how industry standards come about.
HSA 1.0 was ratified about 3 years after AMD, Samsung, Arm and a crapload of the industry got together to work together on HSA.
With something like DP 1.3 lets say, what happens is pretty much everyone talks to each other(usually painfully slowly and with lots of ulterior motives), discusses what the industry need, what their own needs are, listens to others needs. Meetings, upon meetings, e-mails back and fourth, just getting a list of things they all agree they should work towards, THEN they do the R&D bit and try and come up with say a cable, signalling, coding, encryption, power, everything that works together to achieve as many of these goals as possible, then they'll all talk together again and see where they are at. On the individual side when a relatively final spec is agreed then on their own they'll start thinking about monitors to support it, features that can now be included.
6months absolute minimum, maybe closer to 2-3 years for some standards, you get a final spec, it gets put forward for everyone to agree to it, then people go away and start working on support for it, chips required, for monitors, scalers, cable guys start making new cables, monitors put into action new monitor designs with these new features. Then maybe a year later DP 1.3 products actually start coming to market.
This is NOT something where Samsung goes "hey, DP 1.3 guys, have at it"< it gets ratified in 3 months then 2 months later products are coming out. That simply isn't how it works. YOu can do this for a non standard, for products that you and you alone can use along with any companies you choose to involve but it ignores the whole everyone agreeing to it, everyone coming up with something that works for everyone.
Standards are a pain because you need dozens of people involved who all agree on the best set of features that everyone can use, but it is the ONLY way things go beyond a short term feature that gets ignored.
AMD can not and would not have come up with adaptive sync in a few months on their own, it would take years of talking with many monitor companies about if they would support it, how they'd do it, how AMD would do it, compromise, getting agreement then making it work then submitting it then certification of it meaning testing amongst various companies THEN products go into production.
