It is easily googled, no time at the moment. AMD and Intel were pushing for a form of adaptive sync as far back as 2009, it is related to Vesa standards and can be found when searching for AMDs push for adaptive sync after G-sync (they reference the push in 2009). All these backdoor loving Intel/Nvidia fanatics are ill-informed and don't care to KNOW the facts but to create them.If you can show me any evidence that AMD was planning to do adaptive sync BEFORE Gsync was announced, then sure, I would call it innovation. Otherwise, it's responding to your competitor and doing something similar to what they're doing, except in a different way. I don't call that innovation.
Another way to look at it: If Nvidia never decided to make Gsync, Freesync probably wouldn't exist. That should tell you all you need to know about how innovative it is right there. I mean christ, the technology behind the concept had been around long enough even prior to Gsync. For something to be innovative, you have to do something new. I'm not trying to pick on Nvidia or AMD, again, AMD has a few examples of pioneering graphics tech that Nvidia followed after the fact. Both companies have had different innovations over time.
