Nvidia will not support adaptive sync with the gtx 900 series

During CES 2019, NVIDIA announced that it was opening support for G-Sync to non-G-Sync monitors. By adopting VESA's open VRR standard (Adaptive Sync, on which FreeSync is based), the company will now add support for monitors that normally only support FreeSync. The company also promised to test all the configurations and monitors, which will have to pass the tests to obtain that compatibility.

NVIDIA Maxwell and earlier graphics cards will not be compatible with Adaptive Sync

As not everything could be absolutely perfect, NVIDIA has confirmed by means of a support message, that Maxwell graphics cards (GTX 900 series) and earlier, will not have compatibility with Adaptive Sync, limiting this compatibility only to GTX 10 and GTX series twenty.

NVIDIA confirms this from its support page

Through a message posted on NVIDIA's GeForce forums, Manuel GuzmanNV, with a Customer Service badge, has stated, in response to a question from users regarding NVIDIA 900 series compatibility, that “we are sorry, but we have no plans to add compatibility with Maxwell and earlier versions. " This means that only NVIDIA 1000 and 2000 series GPUs will get such support, reducing the number of users who will be able to use Adaptive Sync. At the same time, this could serve as a reason for those customers to finally make the leap to one of the newer generations of NVIDIA graphics cards, in case they don't already own a VRR-capable monitor and want to enjoy that smoothness of image.

At the moment, the reasons are not entirely clear for this decision.
