Nvidia G-Sync Syncs Screen Refresh Rate To GPU For Super-Smooth Gaming
One downside to the new technology is that G-Sync is only compatible with Nvidia graphics cards (Kepler architecture, GTX 660 upwards), cutting out anyone running AMD cards. According to Nvidia marketing director, Tom Petersen, G-Sync is designed to be a new universal standard. However, it's actually a proprietary technology reserved exclusively for Nvidia-based machines.

NVIIDIA G-sync review anadtech
From top gear linkA smoother, clearer moving picture isn't the only advantage G-Sync brings. It can also help reduce power consumption by allowing graphics cards to work at 40 to 60 frames per second while still keeping images impeccably smooth. And less power in turn means less heat, which is a definite plus when GPUs can get super-hot and require lots of cooling from noisy fans.
There’s also nothing stopping a display manufacturer from building a 4K G-Sync display. DisplayPort 1.2 is fully supported, so 4K/60Hz is the max you’ll see at this point. That being said, I think it’s far more likely that we’ll see a 2560 x 1440 IPS display with G-Sync rather than a 4K model in the near term.

AMD Fires Back at G-Sync With Non-Proprietary Alternative

hahaa...then what do you expect from NVIDIA?
now that nvidia is charging more than 100$ extra for g sync enabled monitor while AMD is saying you can do it for free then do you think nvidia will react "oh yeah we know that it can be done for free but we want to make some money so we are looting people as we don't have anyother way to make fool of people"
Most of the new notebooks or netbooks will support free sync as it has all the features required.laptop screens are using that vblank feature to reduce power consummption so most of the new laptops will have that feature and you can use free sync with just a driver update and AMD saya the latest catalyst driver has that feature.they atually just bought new randomn toshiba laptops and showed it working flawlessly.where as for desktop monitors it won't work as of now because vblank is a standard feature in DP 1.3 and we are currently using DP 1.2,but then the monitor manufacturers may implement it in new monitors even though it is not a standard feature of DP 1.2.
G sync is just another money looting feature from nvidia like physx.
