Hopefully we're reaching the point of critical mass where nVidia will *have* to start supporting adaptive-sync or will just end up look silly...
*Pleaaaaaaaaaaase God make it soon!!!*
Agreed. I may have ordered a 1080Ti to replace my 980Ti if they had added the support.
the "stated" release date for scorpio is end of 2017, early 2018. Most console users, use them on TV's.
that was a small thing on a side. If it's one thing that i learned since my first LCD in 2005? is that the good monitor prices don't drop much and not fast. Just look at the 1440p 144Hz IPS. They have dropped very little in close to 2 years.
If Nvidia think they are loosing enough sales to AMD because of it then they will start adding the necessary hardware support in future GPUs.

Im sorry, but i couldn't give a **** about what AMD are doing in the consoles, as im on a PC here, which is owned by Nvidia.
Nvidia owns your PC?
Caporegime
Yup, they own the PC gaming market, so why would i care about the console one, and what AMD are doing in it.
It's more about what consoles are doing with PC hardware that supports industry standards

I imagine the console market is much bigger than the PC market. Meaning it's the console market setting the agenda and the PC follows on from that.

Is that the same PC gaming market that are buying games designed for consoles powered by AMD hardware?

Hahah so many levels of getting owned there Loadsa 
Console market is far bigger than PC
Consoles are built on AMD hardware
Games are developed mainly for Console first on said AMD Hardware
etc etc

Yeah thats the one, whose games that when we get, are done for Nvidia, seen as they own our market
More than console games being built towards AMD hardware, the big news here would be that TV's could potentially get Adaptive Sync support via HDMI 2.1. Should things go in that direction and this becomes a common spec/tech for more than just high end TV's and AMD PC users(like if Playstation 5 supports it, too...) it would basically signal that adaptive/Freesync has won the standards war and Nvidia continuing to push Gsync will just annoy everybody, including their own customers.

Yeah, most likely that is the case. But still, ya never know
There are not many G-Sync monitor's out there. Like right now if you wanted 4K IPS G-Sync, there are not exactly many options. So they may finally have decided to do it. So it will be Freesync 2 vs G-Sync HDR or something.
Like everything AMD, it is taking ages; really want to see some Freesync 2 news now. 4k Freesync 2 and Vega will likely be bliss and keep me happy until OLED hits the market at a decent price point.
I'll be looking for UW 4k and Freesync2 for my next upgrade but hopefully it'll be with Navi by then, I think Nvidia will only adopt adaptive sync if their market share starts dropping a lot.
I haven't been impressed by HDR either, I suppose I'll have to see it too believe it so I'll go and check it out face to face when I get the chance.
It sounds like a time that makes sense so I hope so.
HDR on actual UHD Premium TV with properly mastered HDR content is game-changing. I dont want to say that things look 3d, but the step up in realism is such that it almost feels like you're truly looking into a window to another world rather than a flat display, at least in terms of image quality. Proper sense of depth is obviously not there(like with VR).
There's a lot of lackluster HDR displays and content out there that dont give the best impressions, though.

They eventually made there games works pack open source so you never know.
Yeah. I am waiting until at least 2018 OLED TV's to arrive before I upgrade my TV. By then there will be proper HDR panels and content. Right now there is hardly any content and from what I have seen on a mate's top end Samsung TV which is UHD Premium, there is not much of a leap over my 1080p plasma and HDR did not exactly blow me away.
My plan is to wait until 2019 models arrive, that way I can get a 2018 one half price or less
