If Nvidia suddenly adopted adaptive sync (Freesync)

Just a random thought. I often see people state that they would only go with Nvidia if they supported adaptive sync, or it is their freesync monitor which means they stay with AMD. However, what would happen if Nvidia suddenly adopted adaptive sync? or perhaps had adopted this 6-9 months ago, what would this have done to AMD, if anything?

Clearly there are those who do not like Nvidia's work ethics regardless and wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, but what affect would it have had?
 
I get that Minstadave, however, do you think it could have potentially sunk the graphics card division if it had been adopted 6-9 months ago? Its all very well not liking these lock-ins however it may be providing AMD with a lifeline?
 
Well there are those who have held off purchasing new cards because they have a freesync monitor and are waiting for Vega. If Nvidia had adaptive sync perhaps those sitting on the fence may have switched to an Nvidia card before now, rather than wait for Vega,as they would not have had to.

Edit: Lifeline is probably the wrong word, as there are other reasons for not wanting to go Nvidia.
