[SOLVED] Meaning of "Supports both Adaptive-Sync with NVIDIA GeForce*"?

[kenzy9]

Does it mean not officially supported G-Sync Compatibly certified?
So there's no guarantee it'd work with Nvidia GSYNC? Is that correct...

I'm confused why the product page won't just say "G-Sync Compatible" as a term.

Honestly thought it meant was a Non-certified monitor otherwise..!?

But scrummaging thru your link, some vendors also seem to do their "own GS certification/testing" - so wondering if the above wording is Nvidia-certified, or actually just Asus-Certified!

There are many issues involved.
I found this older article to be helpful in understanding tradeoffs of sync options:

Monitor manufacturers may claim their monitors are compatible with G-Sync through adaptive sync, but they don't really want to pay NVIDIA to do the certification. And I would expect such from the TUF series since it's the cheaper branding to ASUS's ROG lineup.
