Hey guys will VG259QM have problem if I only can reach 100-150fps with 280hz + OD120 + VRR ON/OFF + NO ELMB/BFI?

I also read somewhere that in 'ancient' hardware limited game it also become unplayable with this monitor... is it true?

Really appreciate any answer because I'm gonna buy one soon.. Thanks!

280hz OD60 VRR(Adaptive Sync) ON, ELMB OFF is what you are looking for.

Preferably with a 275 fps cap and Vsync enabled.

I see.. so do you mean the lower the fps, the lower the OD level? what about VG279QM is it the same? (lower fps = lower OD level)?

and what about freesync instead of adaptive sync ? I read somewhere adaptive sync have higher input lag than freesync CMIIW

many thanks! :)

Found one more firmware (MCM105) inconsistency.
Toggling "Blue Light Filter" [ON(any)->OFF] resets "User Mode" color settings to RGB: 100-100-100.

Can someone give me a good setting for this monitor, specific warzone. I want to see clear while having good frame. There are so many different settings on here. I'm not sure what to set up on my nvidia control panel setting either. I have a 2080 Ti

Does shadow boost increase input lag?
