Do you have dyslexia or something because the article mentions that proper open source Vega support (which is only lacking display stuff) is being mainlined with 4.15 right in the first sentence and that's supposed to be released before the end of the year.
I get a feeling that somebody is complaining for the sake of complaining, not because there's something to actually complain about.Last edited by varikonniemi; 17 October 2017, 04:44 PM.

Nvidia does support variable refresh rates. While they insist on the G-Sync module on desktops, it miraculously isn't required in G-Sync capable notebooks using eDP.

This is an attractive aspect of dynamic refresh rates which could benefit even non-gamers, but it's been largely ignored by developers. The only way currently in existence to play video with dynamic refresh rate is to use Windows 10 and the video player that comes with it, and that's not a realistic proposal because it's severely lacking in other, more important features, so it's better to use something like MPC-HC instead, even if you loose the dynamic refresh rates.
Also, if you have a high refresh rate display with 120 or 144hz, video playback of common formats will be perfectly smooth anyway, as long as the software is capable of delivering those frames in a timely fashion.

This statement seems a bit misinformed. Freesync 2 is Freesync, only with stricter requirements on the monitor manufacturers, because they were too lax before which resulted in a lot of cheap monitors with sub-par Freesync implementations which I think is in nobody's interest.
And what exactly is proprietary in this case? The certification process for licensing the trademark, or the technology that drives it, because it's still VESA Adaptive Sync you know...
Will be possible to create an (uncertified of course) monitor 100% compatible with the Freesync 2 specs without any kind of IP?## VGA ##
