G SYNC vs FreeSync

I've been in the market for a new monitor lately and had been considering 144hz. Is it worth the added cost for gsync/Freesync? Freesync is open source, does that mean that it will still work with my Nvidia cards?

No Freesync is for AMD cards.

Probably not. While Freesync would be free of charge for them so implement and pretty much just a matter of a simple driver update, it would definitely bite into the sales of G-sync tech. And Nvidia has a lot riding on it.

In any statement Nvidia has given, they've only said it's not going to happen. Never say never, I guess, but don't count on it. IMHO G-sync performs better anyway and is well worth the premium.
