Re: G-Sync above 240 Hz - Why use V-Sync?
Posted: 14 Jan 2020, 11:26
I also have the Acer Nitro XF252Q. I came to BB forums to see if anyone else had the same issue with fluctuating frames, specifically reported by the monitor.
Usually I set my max fps to 230 with G-Sync and V-Sync enabled. Yesterday I tried it at 180 as I mostly play Apex and supposedly the game engine has a problem with frame rates above 200. Turned on the Nvidia frame counter and the OSD frame counter. Nvidia reported a rock solid 180, but the Acer OSD fluctuates wildly between 160 and 220. I am inclined to believe the monitor is reporting the correct frame rate it is updating at, even if it is mismatched with what the graphics card is outputting. Leading me to believe it is not a good idea to use G-Sync on this monitor even though it is listed as compatible.
I would love to hear what other user's experience is with this monitor as I know a lot of people on these forums own this monitor.
