ok.. so i understand that Adaptive v-sync is the Vesa Standard way for display port 1.2a to sync the monitor to the frames of the input signal.
and i understand that nvidia made Gsync which is proprietary.
I understand that AMD sort of built on top of the vesa standard.
now here is where i am confused. i am currently shopping for a monitor which can display at least 1600x1200 with very good specs for gaming. The BenQ XL2730Z has my attention.
however on the benQ website it shows it supports Freesync.
it says "Equipped with VESA Standard Adaptive-Sync for Incredible AMD FreeSync Visual Fluidity"
now if i go to the nvidia website i see nvidia cards support adaptive-sync.. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/adaptive-vsync
so is there any reason to use a AMD graphics card over a Nvidia card if i was to buy this monitor?
