Nvidia adds new monitors with G-Sync Compatible label
NVIDIA recently started to support Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync) as a GSYNC standard. Monitors that are check by NVIDIA for full compatibility will get a certification, which the manufacturers can then put on its box to bump up sales.
The list now has been updated with new monitor models tagged as NVIDIA certified. There are now seventeen displays certified, five of them have recently been added. This includes two models from Asus, which earlier this month announced. These have TN panels and a maximum refresh rate of 165 Hz. There are also two new models from Acer. The ED273 has a 144Hz panel, while the XF250 goes up to 240Hz. From BenQ the 240 Hz XL2540.
Nvidia says it has tested the 'G-Sync Compatible' screens for screen errors and flickering. Of the more than 400 screens, Nvidia found only 15 units good enough. If you have an adaptive sync monitor that is not certified, this disabled by default you can turn it on manually in the driver.

Why exactly do the majority of displays have built-in AMD FreeSync instead of Nvidia G-Sync again?

Because "true" Gsync (as in, not Gsync-compatible) requires an additional hardware piece in the screen, which costs a lot of money.

I am waiting until nvidia makes frame rate limiting in the driver, hate to waste my memory for that using rivatuner, AMD knows it is a necessity and has it built in.

Because they cost a LOT more. Check a 27" 1440P IPS solution: ASUS MG279Q vs PG279Q (Freesync vs. G-Sync): the latter costs $170 more. And it's "only" 27" and 1440P.

This so much. I think we will get there eventually, as right now they understood that price premium that Gsync adds to any monitor is too much for the vast majority of people.
However, indeed, if we had an intermediate solution which would allow us to use it with any screen ( or at least a compatible screen) this would be Perfect.
Still waiting for ultimate G-Sync solution, which would be some kind of adapter between the GPU and Monitor.

Is the RAM usage of your install that much? I honestly never bothered to check how much memory RTSS uses (although, I doubt it's exorbitant).

I read in some forum that some people got it to work but not without issues, some say you need firmware v.005.
hopefully it will be added to the list down the line.

There sort of is one already for nvidia.
If you use Nividia inspector by Orbmu2k (free download) you can edit individual game profiles or even create them.
In the profile list is a frame rate limiter.
It does work but I've not used it.
If you mess the profile up it can be reset back to default.
Exellent utillity, I use it to get some old opengl games working where you need to turn onExtension limits.

It's a shame they abandoned the System Software.
I used to set my GPU Fan Speed.

... Waste your memory?
Why, how much do you have, 4KB?
Seriously.
Both AMD's driver framerate limiter and Nvidia Inspector's framerate limiters (V1 and V2) have more latency than RTSS ..

I don't recommend using this method to limit fps, as it may result in performance loss. Best option to limit fps is using the limiter from the game itself (if available) or just keep limiting with RTSS.

Not to mention that rtss does a much better job at keeping frametimes in check.

A pity there's a bunch of Freesync monitors that work just fine with Gsync but they'll never be validated, because Nvidia requires Freesync being enabled by default to validate the monitor.
Both have pretty much the same shitty panel too. I wouldn't purchase either. The production defects in those panels are just off the charts, so many reports in various forums.
Right now I'm keeping my eye on the LG 27GL850G-B, I just worry it will be really expensive.
