Nvidia g-sync, the new monitors will come with adaptivesync and hdmi

Since the beginning of 2019, Nvidia has opened its focus to Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) displays, allowing support for both HDMI VRR and VESA Adaptive-Sync on its latest graphics cards. This move opened up GeForce users to a world of VRR monitor options beyond G-Sync.

The next monitors with Nvidia G-Sync will come with AdaptiveSync and HDMI-VRR

Although some gamers saw this as a departure from Nvidia's G-Sync technology, they can rest assured that Nvidia still has plans for the monitor market. Like graphics cards, Nvidia is opening its G-Sync module according to external standards, bringing support for HDMI-VRR and VESA Adaptive-Sync.

This change will allow future G-Sync monitors to support VRR standards outside of the Nvidia ecosystem. For example, this will allow AMD Radeon graphics cards to support VRR via Adaptive Sync on future Nvidia G-Sync monitors.

Why would Nvidia do this? The simple answer: consoles. Both next-gen consoles are expected to support some form of VRR, and Nvidia needs to cater to that market to ensure that its G-Sync modules continue to be used in future monitors. If Sync monitors are not compatible with VRR technologies supported by the console, Nvidia loses sales.

Another advantage of this move is that Nvidia can sell monitors of this style to users of AMD and Intel graphics components. Unfortunately, Nvidia and its partners have no plans to enable HDMI-VRR and VESA Adaptive-Sync on existing G-Sync monitors.

As we see, Nvidia is practically forced to open up with its technology if it does not want to lose ground against AMD's FreeSync.
