It's simply a convenient argument right now, yes you are locked to brand for VRR, yes Nvidia(supposedly) don't have on board hardware support, yes you need to make a choice.
But if Pascal launches and Nvidia decide to maintain zero on board hardware vrr support, then it's Nvidia's choosing not to support open standards, they alone will be keeping it vendor locked.
Hilarious part is, for 99% of vrr market penetration, they do the same thing.
