Nvidia Frame skipping 144hz!!

Seems like Nvidia wouldn't care about AMD marketing it first. Nvidia used all of the DDR revisions that AMD created and is going to use HBM which AMD co created.

If you think about it, I doubt that Nvidia would make $100 off a 750ti sale. But they add in a board to another product (GSYNC monitor) and make more than what they would by selling them a video card off royalty fees alone. Pretty slick marketing. I like it. Very smart of them to find new ways to create revenue streams from their end users.

I don't remember AMD marketing the VESA Adaptive Sync standard. AMD has stated FreeSync is based on the standard, but it's not the same thing. If you're suggesting that Nvidia won't support something just because AMD used it or marketed it first, that's just ridiculous (and easily debunked by many examples).

As I mentioned, there's already an official reason why Nvidia won't use Adaptive Sync: Nvidia stated it would not use it. Plus Nvidia has a history of being very stubborn, in addition to financial reasons (both internal and external partners) for supporting G-Sync. It doesn't really matter right now because either FreeSync or G-Sync costs a significant premium over standard displays* and it's a niche product.

* FreeSync having a smaller premium doesn't seem to matter to buyers: G-Sync monitor sales haven't suffered or its prices collapsed. There's some interesting economic theory staring out here.

AMD marketed free sync, I said nvidia won't use free sync. I'm not sure where you're getting confused exactly.

The confusion is probably because this is my post you replied to...

Suppose you have an AMD card in your PC, but want to hook your nVidia laptop to it as well? It has more than a single DP input. HDMI, DVI as well.

Besides, anyone who thinks nVidia won't ever support adaptive sync is just kidding themselves. As more and more monitors support it they won't want to give up on those customers that own one.

I never mentioned Freesync and neither did you. I said adaptivesync which is the VESA standard pxc is referring to..
