Would people be less locked in if Intel were to do Freesync?
Sure, that would make Nvidia the odd man out. Right now AMD is the odd man out.
Not a peep from AMD about VR for this launch.
The odd man out would currently be Intel as they support neither.
As far as PC gaming is concerned, it's more like a 1lb mouse.You seem to be forgetting the 800lb gorilla in the room. Intel doesn't do Freesync either.
G Sync cannot be supported by AMD. VESA Adaptive Sync can be supported by NVIDIA.Sure, that would make Nvidia the odd man out. Right now AMD is the odd man out.

G Sync cannot be supported by AMD. VESA Adaptive Sync can be supported by NVIDIA.
The vendor "lock in" is completely on NVIDIA's head.
These mental gymnastics are actually quite impressive.Intel and Nvidia make up about 90% of the GPU market. Since they both do not support Freesync that makes AMD the niche.
Neither Intel nor AMD can support the closed standard G-Sync, which makes NV the niche player.Intel and Nvidia make up about 90% of the GPU market. Since they both do not support Freesync that makes AMD the niche.
I could see them going for the power saving benefits once the tech becomes widespread.Intel has a use for adaptive sync: power savings in mobile. Also, because Intel GPU cannot game well, wouldn't that support the use of adaptive sync, to help the low frame rate more palatable? Real OTC, I know.

AMD could choose to either license G-Sync or develop a comparable implementation.
Both companies at this time are locking in their customers.

Come on man, you know damn well the cards are in NVIDIA's hands. Lock in is only on NVIDIA. Licensing G Sync will require approval by NVIDIA. Using VESA AS would require NVIDIA implementing it.
Whatever way you slice it, NVIDIA is the one responsible for segregation in the VRR market.
No they aren't, at least not economically speaking as free sync is well..... free.So the people in this very thread that are saying they aren't happy but have to go with Vega because they already have Freesync displays aren't locked in.

Psychologically speaking, yes they are just as much as others are locked into believing anything else non tech related.
Now when Nvidia locks you in it does so on a economically tangible way.

Getting off topic, it's nice that HDMI 2.1 has VRR built into spec.
Yeah, I mentioned it a page back, but people are more interested in the bun fight about lock in.
It will be interesting to see if NVidia supports it.
They have plans for the RTG IP. They need to continue to develop it. At least unlike Intel they do have a market for their work to offset costs.It's obvious that AMD starved RTG to give its CPU division a fighting chance.
AMD has been, and always will be, a "CPU first" company. Considering the hype around graphics these days, AMD might be smart to just spin RTG off entirely at an inflated price and simply move on from graphics.
I can't believe you are telling people to wait. Didn't you just recently post that you'd never do that? Sorry if I'm confusing you with someone else.But you just said you the reason to buy a Vega GPU is because you already have a Freesync display. That's the definition of locked in.

And when you’re done if you want to rip through Battlefield 1 at 100 frames per second – no problem.
Hmmm? Why would they do that now?I do wonder why isn't there a monitor that supports both G-sync & Freesync?
Seems they could wire up a bypass for G-sync if needed.
Also, this came out today... (shots fired!)
3x the performance with new drivers... it is almost like they were waiting for something to launch...
