No nvidia does not support free sync at all. I've heard that Intel cpus will support free sync "soon" but I can't promise that's true.

atm i get screen tear on my shitty monitor but if i switch to windowed border less that gets rid of it, would that work for a free sync monitor?

Having freesync and not using it is the same as not having freesync so yeah you should be fine doing that. However if the current problem is screen tearing because you get more frames than your monitor can push you may have issues with screen tear from not having enough frames. Though this is not exactly my area of expertise and you should wait for someone more qualified to answer.

so going windowed border less makes the free sync irrelevant but i still get the 144hz

Not having an amd video card will make the freesync irrelevant. As long as you have the proper cord (display port or dual link dvi are most common, most hdmi WON'T work) and you have the display set to 144hz then you should be able to play full screen or windowed borderless and still get the 144hz.
