XL2586X+ (600hz) questions

[Moontrance]

Hey guys. Is it possible to achieve 600hz on lower res like 1280x960 with DSC off on this monitor? Seems like HDMI 2.1 should support it, but I want to make sure before purchase. I appreciate any information regarding this, thank you in advance.

Hey fellas, I have some more quries regarding this 600hz zowie.

Firstly, did anyone here find out if using hdmi 2.1 vs dp 1.4 add input lag? I usually find or hear that dp is usually the fastest for input response.

Secondly, since I only play pubg and @ 1728x1080, and I will usually only be able to stay in the fps range of 350-500 fps for this game, should I change the monitors EDID to 500hz instead of 600hz? Will that serve better for input lag, or should I keep the EDID at 600hz?

if u have 500hz edid turn on, on monitor DSC turns off and u can use 4k resolution input lag falls very down. IF u want to use 600hz use HDMi 2.1 have better response but colors are not the same. DP 1.4 is old technology for older gpus.. 2.1 is for latest.. 2.1 have lower input lag vs dp 1.4... dp 1.4 use x4 more dsc than hdmi 2.1 at same hz.. dp 1.4 max bandwith usage almost 26gb while hdmi 2.1 use 32.

HDMi 2.1 is latest technology use that.. not dp 1.4 dp 1.4 is for older gpu and takes times to alt tab..if u want dsc off use EDID 500hz and u can go for 4k resolution...2.1hmdi is faster in input lag simple because it has more bandwidth. If u got asus 540hz is much slower when u change to desktop and back to game.. same is with oled, Using Dp1.4 have better colors vs hdmi. HDMI 2.1 have better input lag. And never use any software that void warranty any custom resolution ur warranty is dead. Read manual in BENQ zowie... yes i had oled and still have oled TV.. OLED is good for 1 hour of games than i get eyestrain it flickers, more hz u have more eyestrain u get.. in benq zowie i can last 6 hours before i get tired. TN panel more hz u have less eyestrain u have.

What about XL2411K? HDMI 2.0 is better than DP 1.2 on XL2411K in terms of input lag and response time?

Has anyone done a custom CRU resolution at 600hz without DSC and not using "Exact reduced" timings? If so, can you screenshot what worked for you?

Just wondering, why not to use exact reduced timing?

I have managed to remove dsc by using edid 500hz and hdmi 2.1.

I have managed to remove dsc by using edid 500hz and hdmi 2.1.

But going from 600hz 500hz was worth it? Specially the native display input lag at 600hz versus 500hz. Tried that on mine and the differene in CS2 is huge, the input lag penalty is not worth disabling dsc.

[Grasshopper85]

Yea i am back at 600hz 1080p for pubg.

So what is the best setup for this monitor for least input lag etc?

Is it hdmi 2.1, 600hz?

Higher Hz can compensate for any DSC processing penalties of inefficient DSC implementations. DSC latency of poorly-implemented DSC varies a lot between models but perfect DSC is in theory perceptually lagless (e.g. less lag than 480Hz versus 500Hz).

But XL2586X's implementation of DSC is known to be low-lag.

The higher Hz reduces more lag than DSC adds lag. But obviously, YMMV.

So I'm not surprised 600Hz DSC probably has less lag than 500Hz non-DSC.

I contacted zowie support and they claimed in chat (and email from another team member) that 600hz runs over hmdi 2.1, but one of them seems to think it still uses dsc.

However, I got my monitor earlier today and connected it via hdmi and then enabled 600hz... I no longer have a few second pause when alt tabbing. Could it be that this monitor actually runs 600hz without dsc? Idk. I'm confused lol.

I just got the XL2586X+ today. So what I found out is both the HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 cable use DSC at 1080p @600hz.

However, by using CRU, I am able to get 600hz on the HDMI 2.1 cable without DSC. I also changed the EDID settings on the monitor to "500hz"

Here's the steps I followed below. At Step 12 you can put in 600hz.

With this change, I no longer have that 5 second black screen delay when alt-tabbing and the DSR Factors options are now available to me in the Nvidia Control Panel.

this does not seem to work for me, i did everything step by step but cannot figure out what im doing wrong. even with the cs 2 resolution set to the desktop resolution, i still get the alt tab bug and am not sure if DSC is even disabled
