XG2431 240hz not smooth ;(
XG2431 240hz not smooth ;(
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 ).
Re: XG2431 240hz not smooth ;(
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.

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)

Re: XG2431 240hz not smooth ;(
Hi, I know this is a noob question but what is the difference between smoothness and motionblur reduction?
Re: XG2431 240hz not smooth ;(
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?

Re: XG2431 240hz not smooth ;(
this issue is definitely a manufacturers defect I have the xg2431 and it does the same thing and VRR doesn't work.
The only way to have it work is to get constant 240 FPS without ever dropping which is unlikely and use RTSS S-Sync which is a pain in the ass and doesn't work when your frame rate drop.
The other option is VSYNC but even then the screen has judder when moving unless perfect 240 FPS is obtained.
The XG2431 has a 25% defect rate probably the highest in the monitor world.
luckily I bought this monitor for backlight strobing so it's something I am willing to live with since you can't enable vrr with strobing.
Can't wait for G-SYNC Pulsar monitors the idea of strobing and VRR without cross talk seems like some real next generation stuff.
With that said modern games aren't designed for strobed displays, unless you are playing E-Sport titles on PC.
I noticed that modern games can look worse with strobing when there is built in Temporal blur that you cannot disable.
Luckily I only play real PC Gamers games like GTFO and Hunt Showdown and Valorant and League of Legends and DOTA 2 and Street Fighter 6 all of which can run completely blur free.
The trick in everyone of these games is to actually maintain the FPS and that's a huge issue if you ask me, even a mid range PC can dip way way below 240 FPS on the most basic easy to run games like League of Legends in team fights. This is when running high settings nobody really wants to run low ugly settings.
The people who refuse to acknowledge the 1% lows are part of the problem. They say look at average FPS benchmarks instead, I say NO I will never look at average I only care about Min FPS the dips in cluttered scenes team fights.
