I have a Free-Sync screen and an nVidia GPU, as far as i know there is no technical reason as to why nVidia cannot let me use the Free-Sync feature of my screen, its simply the case of building the driver for it.
I think they chose not to because they want to lock you into their eco-system by making you buy G-Sync which is nVidia proprietary technology.
My hope has always been that nVidia will find this approach unsustainable, that like Beta Max vs VHS and HDDVD vs BlueRay Free-Sync will win out as thie standard.
I think that is becoming more and more true as time goes on, despite nVidia's market dominance there are far more Free-Sync screens available than G-Sync, Coming consoles will all support it, there are now Free-Sync TV's available.
G-Sync as a scalable technology is beginning to falter, Free-Sync HDR is proving to be pretty straight forward while nVidia need $500 chips to make G-Sync work with HDR adding that to the existing $200 G-Sync modules making HDR G-Sync screens really very expensive.
Now Intel are wading in also backing Free-Sync.
I think G-Sync is turning into something nVidia are going to find increasingly difficult to convince screen vendors to support, actually i think they already are, just looking at OCUK they list 20 G-Sync screens, this against 70+ Free-Sync screens, this with nVidia owning about 80% of the GPU market, once Intel supporting Free-Sync enter this market and or AMD claw back some market share nVidia will have to start giving away these $200 to $500+ G-Sync modules or screen vendors just wont bother.
Just give us Free-Sync, nVidia, you lost, G-Sync is Beta Max.
