The Tech Report posted a story yesterday suggesting NVIDIA might have grown a conscience and was quietly updating their drivers with FreeSync support. With that being an exciting prospect, the report quickly took off, but the editor later realized it was fake news: Windows 10 was merely adding V-Sync to the games being tested, which were running in borderless windowed mode.
After further research and the collection of more high-speed camera footage from our G-Sync displays, I believe the tear-free gameplay we're experiencing on our FreeSync displays in combination with GeForces is a consequence of Windows 10's Desktop Window Manager adding some form of Vsync to the proceedings when games are in borderless windowed mode, rather than any form of VESA Adapative-Sync being engaged with our GeForce cards.
