Interesting.

So, if I was playing a game where I only get about 150 - 200 frames, would it make sense to durn DYAC off and turn on Gsync, or keep Gsync off and use DYAC?

I usually would go for the clearer option, but I also hate stuttering, which happens in the games I play at the lower frame rates.
I'm not sure of any monitor that has DYAC and GSYNC, I'm assuming you mean ULMB.

From my understanding, if you're looking to get the absolute edge in your matches, keep all forms of vsync off including gsync so you can get the fastest screen render, albeit with a bit of tearing. And as for DYAC it depends on you really. VRR(gsync) will help with BFI(black frame insertion, DYAC, ULMB, ETC). The trade off is preference, do you value the absolute clearest motion clarity? Or do you want the fastest image refreshing?

I'm surprised everyone here, including chief, has ignored the obvious solution:

if you can't get 360 fps / 360hz, just make a lower custom refresh rate. The XL2566K strobes correctly starting at 100hz, so you can make any refresh rate you want, with a large vertical total (VT), as long as the firmware doesn't lock you out of certain VT values (which the Benq firmware tends to do at certain ranges, like 165hz sometimes gets very unreliable if the VT is past 1420, while 180hz works well at VT 1500 (at least on a XL2546S / XL2746S).

Chief's QFT formulas work great on the Blur Busters Approved monitors, but while the Benq panel (AUO / BMS) supports these, the firmware sometimes locks you out of values that would otherwise work.

You can try 100hz, 120hz, 144hz, 180hz, 200hz, 240hz, whatever matches the FPS you can sustain in any particular game.

Unfortunately, all the Benq monitors made after the "Mstar" based scaler versions will double strobe at 99hz and below.
