MSI 240hz 0.5ms GSync or Acer 0.3ms Freesync?
Posted: 05 Aug 2019, 03:07
Hello,
This is my first post here. I heard this is the go to site for anything monitor related. I'm just going to dive into my questions, which I bolded:
Should I get the $349 240hz 0.5ms MSI Oculux nxg252r with G-Sync or the $349 240hz 0.3ms Acer Nitro XF252Q with Freesync?
TFT Central reviewed the Acer monitor and said it was their fastest monitor they tested, but isn't the MSI monitor also equipped with the same panel?
If so, how can one company claim 0.5ms response time, while the other claims 0.3ms from the same panel?
I'm looking for the lowest input lag as possible. I have an Nvidia GPU btw.
My plan is to to use one of these monitors in Overwatch. From what I've read here, that means turning G-Sync/Adaptive Sync and Vertical Sync on in Nvidia control panel, and then lower the in-game FPS limiter to 237 for consistency. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If I went with the Acer monitor with Freesync, is there a difference between an official G-Sync monitor at constant 240/237hz in Overwatch?
