60hz to 144hz more incrediable than G-Sync?

It's a 'deal' to those who do not care about owning a quality product and want high hz for the sake of it.
 
Doesn't freesync require hardware on the monitor itself as well or is that entirely GPU?
 
It does require. But IIRC it's cheaper then g-sync's hw, part of DP 1.2a standart, no licensing costs. Due these reasons there came fourth - it's now backed by Intel aswell (don't underestimate importance of this. Most gpus ARE integrated ones. Monitor vendors WILL think of this aswell, when doing product design choices). Thus imho in long term monitors with freesync support will be way more numerous then g-sync supporting ones though for now there are only (but very few) g-sync ones.
 
Other than using Display port 1.2a I don't think Freesync uses any other hardware but its all firmware from there assuming the monitor can do variable hz. That's the major advantage over gsync
