By the way, if I am to get the XL2546K , and I am not able to push more than .. lets say 160~ fps, will 240hz really be better than 144? (DyAc off)
Define "Faster".
Assuming same GtG pixel response time & similar panel processing latency (the tapedelay latency component), the refresh rate difference has benefits:
160fps at 240Hz has less latency than 160fps at 144Hz
160fps at 240Hz has less visible tearing than 160fps at 144Hz
There are caveats though, some panels can do a terrible job (for various reasons) at lower refresh rates. But that is not always the case for every single 240Hz monitor model.

I see.
I'll probably get my new PC soon (thinking I7 11700K when its out w/ RTX 3070 (or 80, depends on the price by then) .. and then Im gonna need some help choosing between XL2546K or the PG259QN for FPS
untill then, 144hz is my friend..
