And lockin is not just for the GPU chip, but monitor too

Intel and Nvidia are capable of writing their own drivers to enable dynamic refresh rates on such monitors. It just won't be called freesync (that is AMD's trademark).

On the GPU side, FreeSync is compatible with all current generation Radeon GPUs and AMD APUs.

Seems like the only people on Linux happy with AMD are the ideological ones for whom simply the fact that something is open source is good enough reason to use it. Unfortunately for AMD most people will look at the performance and features on merit. It's sad because I can sense that much of the linux community likes AMD as a company, and would like to buy their products- and would do so if the products were competitive like they are on windows.
I was hoping that the drivers would be fixed in 2014, didn't happen. Hope it happens in 2015 at least...

Anyone compared freesync or gsync with simply using compton to remove tearing?
