Can you please explain how you did this in CRU?
Thank you for your time can't figure out why I receive so much tearing with this monitor
It worked out of the box up to 255 fps. U should find many image examples on google:

After the mod u run restart64.exe that comes with CRU. Let me know if range values are even etered in your display properties window.

Under Display properties I can change the V range but is that it? There is no range in an extension block

USB-C to DisplayPort Compatibility Issues with RTX 2070 Mobile & AW2521H

Has anyone experienced issues with the AW2521H monitor not working over USB-C to DP when using an RTX 2070 Mobile GPU? I’ve tested it with different cables and configurations, but the monitor remains blank.

For reference, I’ve successfully used USB-C to DP with a Samsung Odyssey G4 and an Acer Predator XN3 on the same setup. However, with the AW2521H, only DP to DP works.

I’m wondering if this is a known compatibility issue, possibly related to how NVIDIA GPUs interact with certain monitors over USB-C DP, or if it’s specific to the AW2521H's implementation of the G-SYNC module. Would appreciate any insights, especially from those who’ve tested this monitor with or without an NVIDIA GPU over USB-C-DP.

Hi guys,

I own this monitor since a year and even though I’ve tried some other IPS models from Asus and Acer (even TN from Zowie like XL2546K, XL2566K) I’ve always returned back to this monitor. So in general I woul say I’m happy with it. Questions I would like to ask:

1. Does 2523HF use the same panel as this one (if not which is better/worse)?
2. What about response time and input lag in comparison between 2521H and 2523HF?
3. Does 2523HF manage better motion blur comparing to 2521H?
4. Do overdrive settings of 2523HF also do as much overshooting as the ones from 2521H?

I only play competitive CS2 so receiving answer to these 4 questions is the matters for me.

Thanks in advance!
