i think a 1440p 24.5 inch monitor with really good backlight strobing, might be the end game monitor for me

, it doesnt even have to be 500hz+

Hey Guys,

I just got the AOC AGON PRO AG 246FK6 610HZ, mainly for CS2 with a 9800X3D and a 9070XT.

Hitting 500 avg fps(722 in CS2 Dust 2 workshop benchmark, I saw the AMD ad about hitting 1000FPS+ on this setup but I don't have vbs disabled nor sam) and I'm still trying to set the monitor best.

So far freesync gave me good latency with low tearing, while the tearing may have been too distracting without freesync and made me lose targets.

The motion clarity is honestly on par with the Zowie 2566+ I had to return and also I find it more balanced color wise and less eye straining through mbr.

Freesync + MBR Sync seems great so far, but I would take any advices from you all, ( also it's my first post here, so Hi )

Thinking of lowering the refresh rate without freesync to something more steady would benefit me maybe ? ( 144 240 360 540 600 are available, but oc give 610).

If you have question I can answer and would help us compare the tech with dyac2 etc please feel free to contact me.

Thanks !

How is the brightness with mrb? And also compared to 2566x+? Did you find the motion clarity similar to zowie?

Brightness with MRB+ Sync is very good and more than enough. I have nothing to complain on this side and could share my current settings with Dark boost lvl 3 which is quite cool.
The Zowie was very clean and dyac 2 made a difference but was straining on my eyes,
To answer shortly YES, I feel it is on par if not better, I don't have eyes strain at all and target tracking with freesync is great.I feel like external zone of the monitor arent covered with MRB led as much.
Playing with mrb off did surprised me after a monitor reset and I had to turn it back on.

The only downside is overall stability, sometime, the mrb/brightness seems to flicker a bit , depending on the game I play with freesync vsync and mrb sync enabled.( on wreckfest notably ) Also and more disturbingly, I have maybe once a day on my gaming config, the screen will turn black , then back on for a few, seconds, I'm still trying to figure out what this is. I believe it's electrical as I also had issue changing source on the fly where I will need to unplug replug. I've reached out to reseller for support on this but no answer. Another small thing, while playing with borderless/fullscreen etc, I noticed the top left angle will suddenly be smoothed corner, pressing on it would turn it back on, changing res and fullscreen settings resolved it and it did'nt happen again. I'm using the psu cable from my old 244 monitor, while I noticed they were similar, I will change it to the one received with the agon now, to further try to reduce this stability issue which don't bother me for now.

Overall I'm still pretty happy with it as freesync hitting above 400-600 is feeling noticably smoother.
Another thing is I'm still looking for better contrast settings I feel like even the Zowie did'nt equate my old Asus VG 144hz contrast settings.
OOB settings were quite bland and adding shadow control and dark boost helped but I feel like I still miss something.

Please feel free to ask more detailed question.

Just bought the 610hz AGON CS2.
First impressions (Setting out of box, seems like the default settings was already tuned up for cs2 - even colors look calibrated with 47blue 50R 50G - btw classic AOC, good for gaming, but colors are like washed out).


Fast DM test (EU prime time around 7-8pm, of course, at 3am is smooth everything and everywhere).

Valve DM (Mirage, some rare not lagging server EU during prime time) - classic FPS (500-700avg), smooth, natural aim, nothing to complain, aim not heavy, good persistence, noticable improvement from 390Hz acer nitro. Valve servers are in general VERY prone to jitter and low tick performance, if you find one which performs well, everything is fine and game works. But unfortunatelly, in any mode its like finding a white whale, they exist, but they are rare.

Warmupserver.net DM (stockholm Mirage 19) - noticable heavier aim, playable but no extra fun to play. Similar to better faceit servers - heavier aim, less snappy, but still somehow playable but not funny to play cuz it requires huge concentration, much easier to miss step or aim than at fully working server. Slightly less fps at the same mirage map (about 50-100 less) but the fps diff is not the main source of heavier aim and less stable movement, warmupserver was always heavy (i remember how i had ryzen 7600 and it was like playing with a heavy brick, after upgrade to 7800X3D the brick felt noticably lighter, but still here).

Cybershoke DM - worst experience ever (Mirage_FPS, some german server). Most fps /600-700+/ but absolutely worst smoothness. 60hz feeling, ghosting, total disaster. Aim totally unsnappy, stopping or keeping moving when shooting with huge inertia or hiccup. When flicking, it either gives false aim punch before i even shoot, or overshooting. Opponents feeling like their heads are 10 percent of normal size to hit and their bodies are just eating bullets when spraying down. I was struggling to keep neutral K:D, unable to get any consistency, every move was different, it was muddy as hell. Not feeling like 700fps at high frequency monitor at all, i was unable to track opponents how bad was persistence not only when moving but even standing!

Xplay.gg - huge paradox. Dust2 DM. The server was total garbage (sometimes long tick errors, low fps in client dropping even below 300). But somehow even at such low fps not going over 400, the aim was snappy, predictable and persistence was not falling apart into the annoying dizzy 60hz feeling with ghosting and visible horizontal strips. After valve DM it was second best feeling, the only negative was the lack of fps but the aim was snappy, predictable and hitting. Also opponents were not desynced like at cybershoke and the low fps os here obviously a general issue so everybody had the same conditions.


And now some blurbuster allegations (from my actual but not only actual experience):

1) TRUE - HDMI feels better than DP. Yes, i can confirm. Even at 480hz is aim over hdmi 2.1 more predictable and less heavy (at working server).
2) TRUE - Faster monitor has better aim even when fps are below refresh rate - yes, it feels lighter and snappier, the teory that the frame comes faster seems to be valid.
3) FALSE - 60hz feeling, ultrafast desynced peeking opponents, it all is electricity based - No, it differs trough servers. One server performs well, other one at the same time like total shit. Playing with cheap psu, terrible electricity in an old prefab with many many neighbors and A620M cheap MOBO.
4) TRUE - 60hz feeling, ultrafast desynced opponents doesnt depend on client performance. Yep, i had good aim and persistence with low fps at lagging server and terrible aim, 60hz dizzy feeling and persistence at server with optimized map and most fps.

EDIT: setting my 8K polling lamzu maya x mice from 800 to 3200dpi (6400dpi seems +- the same) at 8K polling made my aim way more crisp and landing and sprays less lagging. When dpi is below polling rate, it will work (higher dpi = less initial delay whenever moving the mouse). At my old previous mouse - 1000hz logitech g pro x superlight i cant go over 800dpi, anything higher = aim starts being muddy and dropping altitude when moving mouse back and forth. Also with higher refresh monitor rate these effects stack up, at 390hz the increment in aim crispness is smaller. Dont worry to experiment, and dont look to pros settings, they were switching from 400 to 800dpi for about 6 years...

Exactly. It's literally pot luck as to whether you find a good server or the latency averages out between all players on the server.
