NVIDIA To support VESA Adaptive-Sync Technology, GSYNC Compatible
It has been a topic of long discussion but in a short and a bit of a confusing explanation, NVIDIA seems to be making a move to support adaptive sync (aka FreeSync). The feature will be enabled in future drivers, however, will only work on selected monitors.
From the looks of the monitors that are going to be supported need to be tested by NVIDIA and thus certified by NVIDIA. We're sure that is a partner certification program that needs to be paid for by the monitor manufacturers to get that new 'GSYNC Compatible' logo. So in one way or another, that might invoke a price premium. According to Nvidia this works on the 10 and 20 series.
Merely (a handful of the current 500+ monitors will be enabled support to Adaptive Sync on GeForce graphics cards. That number should expand over time. Multiple monitors have been tested and certified including monitors from Acer, ASUS, AOC, Agon and BenQ. These will get driver enabled for adaptive sync on January 15th. The certified monitors will be called ' GSYNC Compatible'.
Updated: we reached out to NVIDIA. Not certified monitors will work as well by manually enabling the mode.

Lower input lag?
I don't get why people care about Adaptive sync on monitors. Nvidia Fast sync or setting the window mode on borderless completely eliminates tearing or stuttering without requiring any specific hardware. can someone explain to me why adaptive sync is needed?

In my case, 65 inch 4k Samsung TV with Freesync and a 1080Ti, this will (among many other useful situations) now allow me to play the Witcher 3 in full 2160p at Ultra settings and have the game under 60FPS but still smooth with zero tearing. Right now I have to run the game in 1620p or 1800p to maintain a locked 60FPS, but after the Jan 15 drivers I "should" be able to play in my Freesync range and get no stutter or chugging from dropping under Vsync limits!
I'm hoping since my TV is fairly new that it will end up being one of "those screens" whether or not NV anoints it so.

It's good news for gamers with those screens and an Nvidia card of whom I'm sure there are quite a few.

I was just reading some more and even if it fails there testing you can still enable it in the drivers. I probably wouldn't expect any issues to get fixed if it failed the tests though

Just enable Fast sync in Nvidia control panel or put display mode in the game settings on fullscreen borderless. you won't see any tearing at any frame rate. try it now, it's really simple! you don't need any specific driver or hardware support to get rid of tearing or stuttering.
