XV252QF def is better for Quake live. Now I switch between monitors when I switch between games.
There are only a few games where I can reach 390fps consistently and Splitgate (very similar to Quake Arena) is one of them, strobing is always sensible to fps<strobe rates (example: https://blurbusters.com/wp-content/upl ... icates.png) and even 360fps vs 390 is a noticeable reduction in microstutters and clarity improvement.

These fast-paced games surely benefit from both the refresh rate and VRB clarity improvements, using RTSS to simulate tearless lagless Vsync while mantaining 390fps consistently makes clarity pretty much flawless.

It's unfortunate that I can't reach more than 200~300fps in games like Apex and Ovewatch, I just need to be patient and wait for Zen4/Raptor Lake...

I am a high level (gbmaster king of wellspring) diabotical player (essentially a quote clone)

I replaced my 240hz ROG with this monitor recently and i'm very impressed, everything feels more real time / precise and smooth.

diabotical is the only game i've tested it on - running at 400+fps consitently.

VRB set to extreme with 390hz is the best combo

Here are some CSGO settings i think are great
Overdrive Extreme
VRB Extreme
Both of these are fine at normal also

color settings;
r gain; 55
g gain; 50
b gain; 50

r bias; 51
g bias; 49
b bias; 49

r saturate; 100
g saturate; 80
b saturate; 80
y saturate; 55
m saturate; 50
c saturate; 80

Color space? I assume DCI due to wide gamut, is it correct?

I currently have de Zowie 2411P 144hz monitor, and I only play competitive CSGO (10 faceit), with no intentions of going beyond that.
My GPU is old (GTX 970), but I have a good CPU and can maintain a 300-700 FPS, depending on what's going on ingame. DM drops to a steady 300-400FPS, for example.
By the way, I have no knowledge about monitors and found out about this one on youtube (Optimum Tech) and got interested.
Considering I only play CSGO and basically do nothing else on my PC, what do you guys recommend? Go for the Acer 390Hz monitor, the Zowie 2546K, or wait for a 360 Zowie?

DCI-P3 is a wider color gamut than common sRGB we're used to in gaming monitors.

Some monitor color settings have a "DCI" or "DCI-P3" setting in addition to existing sRGB profiles.

It has usually been the case that only premium monitors (like ASUS/EIZO professional art monitors, either ultra-premium LCD backlights, or OLED monitors) tend to focus on reaching beyond DCI-P3, and none AFAIK are able to reach Rec.2020.

I see, btw has any one gotten display scaling working on non native res? I get black bars when using no scaling...

why does your hz all dip below 390.00? and why do they vary a bit too among diff res
