Couldn't we all do this test ourselves?
Ask a friend to give you a blind test. Have them run a few simulations on you by asking you to play a few of your favourite games with and without Gsync/Freesync enabled. If you consistently guess the gameplay was smoother when Adaptive Sync was engaged, then you can tell the difference. If you get it wrong quite a few times, it's all your head. It's not exactly conclusive, but it doesn't need to be since it only affects you.

I've done that test with a few games hence why I like adaptive sync tech
Then people should just leave you alone. I don't see why we have doubt each other. Like I said, it's not conclusive, but it doesn't matter since it is just one person that is involved and doesn't need to relate to a larger group or indicate anything other than a subjective analysis of one person.

I agree.

STOP MAKING SENSE !!!!!
I think having sense is a good thing. We both know what people are like without it
Well to be fair, I didn't say there is no difference. I am just saying the measured difference is not equal to the actual physical difference you would actually see. I also said it is useful at low framerates and less so than Uber high ones. The higher up you go the less you can notice. What would make the biggest difference is the overall response rate of the monitor than the actual difference between AS on/off.

But isn't Dice playing at high frame rates? I play at high frame rates as well. While the jump from 30 to 60 is massive, the jump from 60 to 90 is very much worth dropping a few settings to achieve, which is what I have to do with most newer games. I still appreciate having Freesync at those higher frame rates. And people have recorded tearing at high frame rates, it's just that, as you say, it becomes harder to notice. If someone does notice, however, I think it's fair to say it's worth it.
I think I'm a little too preoccupied with Freesync and AMD. I might actually not be able to tell the difference myself. I should test it out some time.

Having not used FS in the beginning for a long time because I didn't care, I did not have any screen tear. If you get that on a 144hz monitor than you just need a faster one. You're more than likely well above it's limits anyway. And it's basically impossible to get tear with AS. So if you did get it with it on, than same thing.
I don't really think however if you do get one tear at high framerates it is really a call to arms to say it's a difference. It's just few and far between. It's certainly not worth paying a premium for. But again if people are only comparing them as the difference of which tears less, it proves my point that it's a useless thing. I know Nvidia has a great implementation that Dice long ago talked about how they have a clever way of getting around Vsync(without Gsync) in the driver. I think that's just as useful. Idk yet though since I don't have my Nvidia card yet.

You didn't use Freesync? Why would you turn it off? It doesn't negatively affect anything so having it on would only improve things.
I'd love to test a GTX 1080 or 1070 and Adaptive Sync to see whether I can tell the difference.

That is actually very sad to hear.
I don't like the idea of manufacturers locking you into their system with Freesync or G-Sync and then the end user has to lose money by abandoning it.

I don't either. But until AMD bring something to the table that can go into ITX builds with lower power consumption and less heat output I don't really have a choice.

It doesn't quite work like that.. Freesync is simply because the monitor has the correct spec to run it. It is not added it's just either there or it isn't. G-Sync on the other hand is a module you pay for.
I have a "freesync" monitor and two out of the three GPUs connected to it are Nvidia. I don't care and I don't mind because Adaptive Vsync @ 70hz works beautifully for me (as it should, I run very fast GPUs).
But yeah, Freesync merely comes down to the spec of the inputs on your monitor. Hence the name, hence why it's free. The work is done at the GPU end.

Is there another word for Adaptive Vsync? Are you talking about this?

Yup that's it. It's fantastic tbh. They came out with that and then very quickly came up with G-Sync so all of the focus is on that. Which is a shame, because AVS works brilliantly for me. I get no stutters, no tears, no input lag and it's butter smooth.
I think once Nvidia had cracked that they realised that there was money to be made and monopolies to be had in all honesty. Me? I don't care. It works for me every bit as good as G-Sync did.
You just enable it globally and you're G2G man.

As far as supported GPUs goes, on their own site, every GPU up to the 980Ti and Titan X is supported. Not the newer 1000 series lol.
