The bigger announcement here is that Nvidia is enabling support for FreeSync and certifying that things work correctly for certain FreeSync monitors. That's a big deal. Nvidia syncing previously required their proprietary "G-Sync," which is substantially more expensive and is usually only present on monitors explicitly aimed at gaming. It's too early to tell whether this means G-Sync is dead and FreeSync is just the new standard, but it's a great day to own a FreeSync monitor.
