XG2431 240hz not smooth ;(

[svzvki]

Hey, for 1 year I have xg2431 monitor which I use for competitive gaming, as I read this monitor has terrible refresh compliance ~60%, and 240hz experience is not real here, and it is clearly felt if you are sensitive to it. To be honest I don't feel 240hz since I've bought it. I have been playing on random different 240hz monitor and it was more smooth and more enjoyable than this. I've created this post to make sure that this is normal or what? Should I sell it and pick another one? I have i9 14900k and rtx 4080,ddr5 7200, z790 elite ax wifi7, im playing only cpu heavy games. When Ive had worse build, everything was the same. ( and it's not because of dirty power and settings, i've read a lot about it ).

The XG2431's main benefit is using it with PureXP. It is the preferred way of using the monitor.
However, strobing amplifies stuttering you may have in your system from instabilities or bad frame pacing.

Hello,

Are you using any forms of multimonitor?
FreeSync ON/OFF?
PureXP ON/OFF?

If smoothness is your priority, FreeSync is better than PureXP.
If motion blur reduction is your priority, PureXP is better than FreeSync.

Have you compared different monitors at the same settings? (VRR ON versus ON, OFF versus OFF) and (strobing ON versus ON, OFF versus OFF)

Also, as a troubleshoot test, do you see dozens of red spikes per second at www.testufo.com/animation-time-graph ? (this can occur with multimonitor)

Hi, I know this is a noob question but what is the difference between smoothness and motionblur reduction?

Yo, Ive tried everything and nothing did really work, its not possible that I have instabillities or dirty power, in games such like fortnite on competitive settings this monitor is not smooth, maybe I should buy a new cable instead of stock one.

What can I do to to check from where it comes from?
