Ok firstly I will apologise for starting what will probably be quite a controversial thread.
Over the last couple of months I have noticed a increasing number of people make comments like
Now we all know that GSync is proprietary to NVidia and Freesync is based on the open standard Adaptive-Sync.
We all know that Generally GSync monitors cost a lot more than their Freesync counterparts.
We all know that some freesync monitors only just qualify and have really poor sync ranges.
But even with saying all that, both systems work really well nowadays and can give very good results.
So the crux of the matter is, until Intel or somebody else enters the market and takes up either of the technologies(and yes I know that Intel have said they intend to use Adaptive-Sync) both systems are essentially locking you into that manufacturers GPU's, as far as Variable refresh rate gaming is concerned.
Now of course one thing that is often over looked, is that both systems still work as monitors with the others cards, just not with the variable refresh rate tech.
So nearly four years down the line for Freesync, has it really liberated the Gaming monitor market, or just locked you into a differently named ecosystem?
