Well it is official. After installing the latest AMD gpu drivers I lost the 390hz option.

Rolling back to the previous drivers didn't help and I do not know the exact timings/vales to use with CRU.

Did anyone have this problem? I guess everyone uses Nvidia :D

Are you using 2 monitors?. If so try unplugging your 2nd monitor, that works for me on AMD

Using only one, had to rollback to older drivers, the last WQHL ones... from August

This is the problem with AMD.. I am sure the next drivers Will break monitor overclocking again

Maybe the upcoming TN 0,5ms 360hz panels, releasing soon, will be faster. I guess.
Where’d you see that TN 360 Hz monitors were coming out soon?

Better tracking and flicking here, Kovaaks and in game. Others monitors XL2546K, VG279QM.

AMD 21.9.2 works fine at 390Hz with my 6800XT.

Where did you download that driver? can you send me a link if possible? or give me version name. I want to see if that fixes my issue aswell

Is there any way to convert the PG259QNR to the 25XV2Q Acer AOPEN 390Hz? Stupid question but I gotta ask it.. everything is being hacked these days..

Only gamed on the Fire Legend for 2hrs but it's extremely smooth: smoother than the PG259QNR I have by a lot. Games played, UT4 250fps limit/cap, CS:GO capped at 390fps. Seems a bit darker than the Asus, though.

Oh you have a AMD card aswell, does 390hz work when for you when you have 2 monitors plugged in?. After doing a ton of googling/research i suspect it might only work on Nvidia cards.

I am anxiously waiting for mine in the mail. That is interesting that you found it to be much smoother. What settings are you using? I've heard that the extreme overdrive setting is surprisingly good. I know that often times the fastest setting is pretty bad.

Only thing I did was turn off Free-Sync and Overclock the monitor through the OSD. Haven't tried strobbing yet.

Anytime changing hardware or settings, gaming needs done at-least a few days for more "data" to get a better understanding.

Anyone know if there is there a burn-in time for the panel?

Anyone got some good color settings or other tweaks for the xv252qf.

Of course! If you are running a game with more than 240fps you will for sure notice it at 240hz, while at 390hz your monitor will display every frame. I mean, that is easily noticeable, but does it make you play better with all that blur fest? It does nothing for me on Quake, I track way worse as the images are not clear. And what about fast flicks? Total nightmare compared to a good and matured 240hz panel

With these models I feel like playing on an very low input lag responsive mouse, with no frame skipping at all

but...

coupled with "10 years ago" awful pixel response time levels.

Maybe the upcoming TN 0,5ms 360hz panels, releasing soon, will be faster. I guess.
I definitely appreciate striving for the best image clarity, but I think it's a little hyperbolic to say the Acer is making you "way worse" at games. Even pro players don't split hairs that much. The fact is both the Acer and the most matured TN panels have excellent pixel response times. That's not the say there isn't a difference in motion clarity between these monitors, it's just that the difference is simply not great enough to have any significant effect on in-game performance (beyond placebo/bias).

In my opinion: If you stare at the UFO test all day -- get the fastest 240 Hz TN. If you don't, the Acer is a better monitor by most metrics.
