Support for g-sync in the 1060 laptop version?

So i went to NVIDIA's site for driver downloads and saw that they have added support "for g-sync compatible" displays for laptops with a 1060. My laptop has optimus technology and it says it is supported. I have heard g-sync only goes through display port but mine only has the HDMI port, so what's the point? I'm just confused. I am on version 436.02. I really want to have a cheaper monitor with variable refresh rates and the external one I have now only is on 60.

support what? The GPU can support stuff that you cant use because there's physically no hardware for it. Besides because older Optimus works by having all displays connected to the iGPU while Geforce GPU takes over the compute part of work when necessary, you only get adaptive sync support on external monitors once Intel iGPUs support adaptive sync. There are new laptops with Turing GPUs with Optimus that still support adaptive sync (just a change to how the displays are linked to 2 GPUs will do), but I dont think this is the case for those with Pascal GPUs. 

 

My laptop has a gtx 1060 directly connected to its Gsync display, which leads to lack of Optimus, terrible battery life but adaptive sync support in the mini-DP port.

If you have G-sync Enabled Panel on your laptop screen then it will utilized it.
My Alienware 15 R3 has G-sync enabled panel with 120Hz.
