It isn't the same - the G-Sync FPGA can adjust the overdrive algorithm on the fly in reaction to frame rate to achieve less overshoot and ghosting - many FS panels have only static overdrive a few have crude variable overdrive which has 2 or 3 states it flips between.
VA generally is poor for smearing and ghosting - the Philips 436M6 is one of the few monitors I've used where it is acceptable.
if we are not talking about from a user pov what are we talking about? at the end of the day end users use the tech so whats the point of this if we arnt talking about from that pov. the point about laptops is that all of gsync and freesync tech comes from edp which is now basically open sync....
my original post just to remind you:
"of course there is, im outlining and open sync can do all if not most of what gsync can do. funnily enough gsync comes from opensync laptops
again id rather have a choice of 2 options than no option at all. regardless again if one is better or not its still a choice."
not sure where you going with this Rroff.. but i think the freesync gsync stuff has detractred from this thread enough dont you?
@Phixsator you are right.
Problem is you are inferring things which aren't true at a technical level and the end user POV will be somewhat subjective some people will be quite happy and not notice the differences others definitely will.
While FreeSync is based off of eDP VRR G-Sync isn't just a rip off copy of it as you are implying but completely replaces the scaler with a ground up implementation of adaptive sync - it wasn't even used in laptops in a way similar to adaptive sync until G-Sync was created before that it was just a power saving feature and not tied to frame rate the way G-Sync/FreeSync do it.
Some professional displays used a similar implementation (usually using eDP) for mission critical applications such as air traffic control.
