We saw the inverse of this moment earlier this year, when Nvidia opened up support for VESA Adaptive Sync on Nvidia graphics cards under the “G-Sync Compatible” banner. Due to this, some select AMD FreeSync compatible monitors – built upon the open Adaptive Sync standard tended to by VESA – are now able to support Nvidia graphics cards. A boon to Nvidia’s current customers rocking (cheaper) FreeSync monitors.
The proposed change straight from the horse’s mouth (via TFTCentral) now suggests Nvidia may be opening its own proprietary G-Sync VRR technology to its competitors cards, too. With added support reportedly incoming for HDMI-VRR and Adaptive Sync over DisplayPort, these updated G-Sync modules will usher in (manufacturer dependent) support for games consoles supporting VRR and any GPU supporting Adaptive Sync (read: AMD graphics cards).
