Dual monitors (VRR + 60hz normie)

Hello! I have learned everything here I needed to know to make my first VRR purchase, and couldn't be happier with the G-Sync 240hz XB273 Xbmiprzx. :D

However, I miss having a dual monitor setup on my desk. I don't have any applications that would take advantage of another XB273 Xbmiprzx - as ...

Re: just ORDERED XB273 Xbmiprzx, HYPE is so REAL, advice for settings?

I have the G-sync module xb273 x. Why does this thing allow for changing the overdrive, if G-sync is supposed to be variable overdrive?? So, if I accidentally turn on an overdrive setting, will that mean variable overdrive is off? I want tear-free across a long range.

But if I want tear-free and ...

Re: New monitor IPS VRR, with 75fps minimums


My recommendation is actually a minimum of -3 FPS for both in-game and external limiters across the board. As for AMD FreeSync specifically, since the AMD CP V-SYNC option is only known to work mostly for OpenGL games (to my knowledge), you'd instead want to filp the G-SYNC recommendation, and use ...

New monitor IPS VRR, with 75fps minimums

Hey BB,

I just got done with my G-Sync build's monitor, but now need to look into a FreeSync monitor for an AMD build that hits ~75fps minimum in its games. Can you recommend some 1080p IPS VRR FreeSync monitors best for supporting 75-200fps range? Games are mostly FPS and other shooters. We are ...

Re: 05/22/2020 UPDATE. The IPS 240hz monitor tier list.(I've measured/tried the all) and my honest explanation why.


I got a question... which one is the better choice and does even matter? XB273 Gxbmiipprzx and XB273 Xbmiprzx seem to have the same specs besides the ports or am i blind and missing another difference. My friend just order the XB273 Gxbmiipprzx because it was in stock at Walmart for 370$ plus tax ...

Same here, following thread for recommendations. Right now I’m mostly trying to choose between XG270, MAG251, and XL2546S
If you don't mind me asking, why isnt Acer's XB253QGXbmiiprzx on your list too?

Re: IPS 240hz -> Acer Predator XB253QGXbmiiprzx ??


One problem with this monitor so far for me. The displayport will not work in my bios without enabling CSM (compatibility mode) in the bios. HDMI works fine though. Not sure why this is, but it is a negative for me. All of my previous Asus monitors worked fine in UEFI mode and displayport. I don't ...

Re: IPS 240hz -> Acer Predator XB253QGXbmiiprzx ??


I tried turning on HDR and it was as expected. It is basically "dynamic contrast" which is completely useless. It basically adjusts the brightness of the WHOLE screen based on what is being displayed. Again, completely worthless. When comparing this monitor to my previous PG258Q, the main ...
