It looks like nobody has the Acer 390hz in stock at the moment....
Yeah, I’m glad I got mine from Amazon a few months ago. I think I ordered just before the demand went crazy. I had to wait about a week or two. Once I got it, I looked at the expected delivery date for future orders and they were about 1-2 months down the line. Hopefully you’ll be able to find one soon if you want it. I’d also recommend a top aftermarket cable. I’ve seen some reports of flickering at 390 Hz with the included cable and other cables.
Years ago I purchased some high end DP cables so I already got that down. :P Yeah. I dont know how I am going to find one of these monitors anytime soon. Nobody has them in stock... : :(

Are you asking which cable I use? I bought this Club3D one and have had absolutely no issues. Club3D VESA Certified CAC-2068 DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.4/Hbr3 Cable DP 1.4 8K 60Hz 2M/6.56ft, Black.

I have tested the monitor and I found out that the best settings for me in Fortnite as a competitive player were
Over drive - Extreme
VRB - Extreme

Nvidia control panel
Low Latency mode - Off
Vertical sync - Fast Sync

FPS capped in game - 360 FPS
Performance mode - High meshes

Why these?
VRB Extreme delivery super clarity when I do quick mouse movements, however the screen tearing still exist. I wanted to have both super clarity and no screen tearing, however on this monitor you can't use G-Sync compatibile with VRB.
That's why I decided to give a try Fast Sync.
Adaptive V-Sync: reducing input lag when framerates are below the refresh rate by selectively disabling v-sync
G-Sync: reducing input lag by refreshing the screen when a frame is ready, up to the display’s maximum refresh rate
Fast Sync: reducing input lag by not stalling the GPU when the framerate hits the display’s refresh rate
I am not sure which one I should to use Fast Sync or Adaptive V-sync.
Can anyone check out these settings and do input lag benchmark cause I have no devices to measure it.
I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing - found these settings interesting. Biggest question I have is why 360 FPS instead of 390?

Does anyone here use this monitor for csgo?
I would like to hear your thoughts on it.

also does it have display scaling? and does it run good in native in csgo?
Thinking about buying this to replace my vg279qm.

Since XV252QF won latest RTINGS review, may I ask all true voters to go vote for new era Zowie monitor - Blur Busters Approved XG2431 with premium, flexible blur reduction on IPS. We finally got great performance at affordable price.

Vote for XG2431 at RTINGS

Here is a quick sneak peak. It's clearer than Zowie in this case scenario.

That does look mighty impressive. Man. When can I buy this in EU?

Well, cause the game is better optimized for 360 FPS rather than 390 FPS. Also I wanted to mention that I did some tests and Adaptive V-sync seems to be better working than Fast Sync. Still I am waiting for some real tests. I hope Rtings will benchmark this monitor as solid as they can :)

Why is it better optimized for 360 FPS over 390 FPS? The amount of FPS is dependent on what is going on and your system. Are you talking about Hz instead of FPS? There shouldn't be any kind of downside to running it at 390 Hz over 360 Hz. Also, how competitive of a player are you? Fast Sync should be adding latency that most competitive players would find completely unacceptable. You really notice the screen tearing at such high refresh rates and frame rates?

I kind of stopped playing CS a long time ago. Now I play a few times a year with some friends. Everything looks and feels good to me. Can't really comment on it specifically in CS more than that. If you read through this post you'll see my overall thoughts on the monitor that I've posted many times after using it for a few months.

It does have display scaling. I am using it right now on that mode.
