Re: no pros use DyAc+ [at least in CS:GO, even though #1 pro in Rainbow Six uses DyAc]

It's not an either/or choice though. I play Overwatch and DyAc is HUGELY beneficial for clarity because obviously there's very fast moving characters and you're looking around a lot or moving around a lot yourself. I already knew that because I also played a lot of Quake. However, the benefit from o...

Re: BenQ XL2546K 240hz vs Alienware AW2521H 360hz

I can't speak for the XL2546K but my XL2546 felt better at 144-182Hz strobed than 240Hz strobed in terms of input lag even though my model's 240Hz strobed/DyAc was practically flawless in visual clarity in the UFO test. I just couldn't explain it. It just looked clear and felt more snappy at the low...

Re: BenQ XL2546K 240hz vs Alienware AW2521H 360hz

That's not really a significant difference in games though.

Re: G-Sync/V-Sync On, won't hit FPS I set

Why not? I set both G-Sync and V-Sync to On and changed Low Latency to 'On' instead of Ultra, shouldn't that work?

Re: BenQ XL2546 (24.5" 240Hz TN) vs Alienware AW2521H (24.5" 360Hz Fast IPS)

AW2521H definitely has less input lag than XL2546 (I don't know about K). Especially if you don't use any G-Sync/V-Sync, you can feel the difference. Image on XL2546 is sharper. It's a TN. AW2521H looks slightly blurrier when they are side by side (literally, I have both in front of me right now). Y...

Re: BenQ XL2546 (24.5" 240Hz TN) vs Alienware AW2521H (24.5" 360Hz Fast IPS)

I got the Alienware to try out next to the XL2546. 240Hz strobed on the Alienware looks pretty good next to the XL2546. Very little strobe crosstalk, or at least the more tolerable kind (where instead of the dark double picture look, it's a slight halo-ish on one side). XL2546 has way more customiza...

Re: G-Sync/V-Sync On, won't hit FPS I set

No, it was Overwatch. I saw in some other posts that G-Sync On + V-Sync On + Low Latency on Ultra means it auto-caps your FPS a little bit below refresh (so 326 sounds about right for 360Hz). Leaving Low Latency on 'On' avoids that. Hopefully when Overwatch gets Nvidia Reflex in the next patch it ci...

Re: The Official *Dell Alienware AW2521H 360Hz* Owners Thread

What settings do you recommend for this monitor? Are the FPS or G-SYNC Esports presets any good? I still have to figure out how to use profiles.

Re: G-Sync/V-Sync On, won't hit FPS I set

I think I may have fixed it. I switched the Low Latency setting in Nvidia Control Panel from "Ultra" to "Low" and it worked as it should (hitting the frame cap I set).

For some reason, on Ultra, it can't go over 326fps/Hz. Weird.
