Awesome news:
Some people I know and I have been working on this project after stumbling upon it.
In a nutshell Freesync can be enabled over HDMI and some DVI on non freesync monitors ( YMMV)
Requirements: GPU that support freesync
Latest crimson driver 16.10.1, we also know the previous driver works.
Latest CRU p2 beta, and able to follow the instructions
Directions and discussion can be found at guru3d in this thread.

For me on my LG29um58 I have both freesync and VSR working.
Just thought I would share...if enough interest I will post the directions and all here.
/EDIT 10/10/2016
A little background on the 3 of us that started working on this. OnnA uses CRT in his part of the world and stumbled on this.
ToastyX the writer of CRU did not have a freesync GPU at all ( he obtained one a couple of days ago) nor a freesync monitor.
Myself: I do not have a freesync monitor at all ( cannot afford one )
With this said we had to work together on the parts we each had. Which is why the original thread is a bit jumbed though we did communicate some with PM and at ToastyX CRU forums as well.
I plan to purchase a freesync monitor in the coming months when I can afford to, then I can actually look at a freesync edid compared to non freesync but this will be months off. We just do not have enough information on freesync DP and actually HDMI freesync, hardware is our limitation or rather the lack of hardware as we do this for fun and cause we can but since we are not "reviewers" we do not get test equipment.
I debated long and hard about releasing our findings to the public masses in the state we have it but decided that for some it would be a boon and worth it even if incomplete.
I thought about making a video guide but really have never made a video so do not know where to begin.
/EDIT 2 10/10/2016 We do not know if you can enable it soandso monitor without actually having it. So all I can say it try it and work with ranges to find out.
/edit 3 10/10/2016 Gonna work up a video guide once I figure out OBS lol. Just remember the things I do in it, ranges are specific to my current hardware, the actual steps will be same.
