1. Unless there was no certified interface for adaptive refresh rate during the development of the Switch. Which actually is the case here. HDMI 2.1 was announced in january 2017 and the specifications are still not known but it was said, that they will come in 2nd Q 2017. So, explain to me, how should they implement HDMI 2.1 if that was not available?

1. You don't get it. Freesync being open standard means it can be implemented on non-standard non-AMD interfaces as per Display Port and HDMI.
The Switch's internal Display isn't connected to the rest of the system via a HDMI cable is it?

The Dock however connects to the Switch via USB-C. And can have an updated version at a later date to support something like Freesync and HDMI 2.1 or Display Port 1.2a or newer.
It's actually one of the aspects I like most about the Switch, the potential to upgrade the Dock to support newer standards, improved scalers, potentially include various forms of media like 4k Blu-Ray and more.

3. Yet again, you fail to understand the point here. CRT TV's were the most common TV's during that time. It does not exceed the resolutions determined by PAL, NTSC and SECAM. There is still nothing wrong with my original statement.

2. But CRT TV's did often exceed the resolutions determined by PAL, NTSC and SECAM standards.

4. Context! Does the N64 renders at a higher resolution than the common RCT TV during that time which were PAL, NTSC and SECAM depending on region? No, it does not. My point stands.

3. It often ran at a fraction of the resolution.

5. I don't know what "stiff" means, but by going with the context I assume that you are telling me to fuck off. I don't think that you have the right to tell me where to post and where not to post.  You should work on providing better arguments.

It's Australian slang. It's not telling you to do anything.

1. You miss one important point. Freesync relies on the integrated display controller inside the GPU. It's still partly hardware based. Thus, the GPU being from Nvidia, it misses the essential hardware for using Freesync. It is simply not purely based on software. If this would be the case, AMD would just update all the older GPU's.

Freesync = Hardware / Software
G-Sync = Hardware / Hardware

Yes, the Tegra X1 is not connected to the display via hdmi or any other display. But according to what I just wrote, it's not worth mentioning it anymore. So an adaptive refreshrate inside the Switch will not be possible.

Dock implementation.. I don't know, because just a HDMI 2.1 or DP 1.2a or newer interface will still need the hardware necessary for FreeSync. So, delevoping a controller which takes over this task from the GPU. I don't think Nvidia will comply. But this entire argument is pure speculation.

2. Again, 1994-1996 how many people owned a CRT TV which did a higher resolution then PAL, NTSC and SECAM? How widespread were those. Did Nintendo took those CRT TV's into account?

3. Not denying my statement.
