Yes Freesync and GSYNC are less noticeable the higher and more consistent your framerate is. You also cannot use them at the same time as Blur Reduction. This is why I am dumping my PG278Q for an XL2730Z even though I have nvidia cards as I find Blur Reduction preferable to adaptive sync as I have a very powerful system.
So unless you get a different result from trying the tests I did above (maybe you will over DVI?) the best custom resolution is none of them Just use the monitor at the standard 1440p res.
I don't know what BR 2.0 specifically is meant to feature but I can tell you what I have noticed: Blur reduction features 'area' and 'intensity' now to allow you to control the crosstalk 'zone' on the display and also set the strobe length. The things we used to use the Blur Busters tool for on the XL2720Z. It also seems to have much better overall brightness and colour retention / luminance when Blur Reduction is on, there is a small drop in colour quality / luminance but it is far better than older monitors I used and worth it for the great increase in motion clarity imo. The display is far brighter than a PG278Q in Blur Reduction mode or the old XL2720Z without tweaks.
60hz/100hz blur reduction are bugged afaik so dont use them. Use 120/144 or not at all.
In my experience while adaptive sync is a nice to have at all refresh rates it definitely becomes less noticeable the higher you go and especially if you don't experience frame drops. Yes, If you can maintain a framerate of 100hz then I would just use the Blur Reduction.
Blur Reduction on this monitor in BF4 is like night and day, especially with a good SweetFX profile to clean things up.
