It is confirmed by NVIDIA that 'G-Sync Compatible' will not be compatible with GeForce GTX 9 Series graphics cards of Maxwell architecture.

These days there is a lot of fuss to know which monitors are compatible or not with 'G-Sync Compatible'. This is what NVIDIA has called FreeSync support, which is based on the VESA Adaptative Sync standard. According to NVIDIA, they have tested more than 400 monitors with FreeSync and only 12 are compatible with the company's standards and these are certified 'G-Sync Compatible'. Now the company also highlights that it will only be available with the GTX 10 Series and GTX 20 Series, making it clear that it is not compatible with the GTX 9 Series.

'G-Sync Compatible' is not supported by NVIDIA Maxwell

Many these days have asked about his compatibility with Maxwell. The NVIDIA forums have also been filled with this question and the company has officially said there is no support. They have highlighted that Adaptative Sync only supports Pascal and Turing. We all know how they are in the company with regard to compatibility and others.

Within the NVIDIA forum, user Manuel GuzmanNV, who has the Customer Service position, reports this. Respond to a user asking about Maxwell compatibility. "Sorry, but we have no plans to add compatibility with Maxwell and earlier versions," he writes.

It does not seem the most successful to us, since all the company's clients should have access to the technologies. But this is not something exclusive to the world's largest graphics manufacturer, they all do the same. No further data has been given in this regard, but it seems like a clear strategy for anyone who wants to enjoy Adaptative Sync to go through the box.

The Maxwell architecture is excellent and still has a lot of life ahead of it. Unfortunately, graphics are released every year, in a strategy that seems to be orchestrated by the two graphics manufacturers and game developers, that the last time they optimized a game, the computers were running on floppy disks.
