Had a bit of a thought, Since AMD has to certify all monitors to be freesync. They have pretty much locked up freesync to AMD only gpu's. Since g-sync module could possible be updated firmware to support it, but since freesync software is as it stands amd proprietary software. AMD in sense has done same thing everyone rips on nvidia for, they just did it under everyones nose's.
AMD doesn't have to. They offer it free, like a courtesy for marketing. The important part is VESA Adaptive-Sync certification. That doesn't have to reach AMD at all. Once its VESA certified anyone can piggy-back off of it.
As far as software goes Nvidia just has to change the way it communicates through DisplayPort, change the method in which it syncs. Nothing stopping them.
