GeForce GTX series 980 Ti and below will not get Adaptive Sync Support

GeForce GTX series 980 Ti and below will not get Adaptive Sync Support

The sudden support for adaptive sync based G-Sync ever since the new driver release yesterday made a lot of people happy. If you have a monitor that supports Vesa adaptive sync of course. However there's some other news to be reported, only GeForce GTX 1000 and newer will get adaptive sync supported.

In the NVIDIA forums this has been confirmed by ManuelGuzman, who is responsible for NVIDIA customer care. He's also active here in the forums as ManuelG for those that wonder. Some users have been wondering as to why their card is not supporting adaptive sync, as it turns out now anything with a Maxwell GPU or older will not be supported. So that's pretty much the GeForce GTX 980 Ti and anything below.

Thanks, Urgertaler for the news submitted.

It means they can, but they won't do it.
The guy basically just confirmed despite the "lack of DP 1.2a" certification, they can implement VESA A.S. for Maxwell and Kepler, yet they have "no plan" to do so.
Technically, maxwell and kepler are 'DP1.2a compatible'.

I think you're reading too much into it. AMD originally listed the 7000 series as Freesync compatible then pulled it - later they pushed DP1.2a into VESA spec for the 200 series and got flack because some of the rebrands (280x) didn't support it. There's clearly something required about 1.2a hardware to do freesync. If it was just a firmware update or something they would have at least supported it on 280x.

The original Bonaire HD 7790 (the second generation GCN) before being rebranded as R7 260X did support Freesync and it was released in March 2013.......
I agree there is certain requirement for 1.2a VESA A.S, but considering GTX 650 Ti BOOST was also released in March 2013........plus all big three gpu makers (including Intel) have access to the DP specification and draft........plus both GPU are capable of VRR........and confirmation from both Nvidia and AMD that their VRR made use of VBlank 'feature'..........am I really reading too much into it?
