thinking of getting XG27UCGR, its 4k 27 inch 162hz and 1080p 485hz dual mode, and also has perfect 1:1 integer scaling 24.5 inch mode
Where have you found the info that it supports "perfect 1:1 integer scaling" in the 24.5" mode?
Do keep in mind that you're still on a relatively large image resolution on the 24.5" mode, which can lead to a GPU bottleneck much easier.
It won't "magically" become equivalent to 24" FHD.
The only vendor which seemingly offered "integer scaling" (Nearest Neighbour with a integer value) has been Dell AW thus far, according to

holding out on zowie 360hz qhd, news tomorrow apparently
It's backlight strobing performance is going to roll Pulsar into obsolescence, the usual of Zowie
Oh man, keep me informed because if they have a pulsar competitor I'd be down to buy as long as it's QHD and not 1080p lol

its not 24.5 inch 1080p its 1728x972 24.5 inch, but even 27 inch mode is 1:1

Another VRR strobing monitor?

I have no such information, but my guess is that they might attempt it.
Though, the claim of $1k price tag for a QHD@360Hz model is extremely disappointing...

The only confirmed competitor that I know of are the DyDS Tech 2.0 panels (P275MS Pro & P245MS Pro), but no one has reviewed them in-depth.
As for DyAc3, I don't know whether it'll be VRR+Strobe.
My comment was a remark on the mediocre pulse width that Nvidia has chosen.

is there a reason why monitors with adjustable pulse, barely look any different, not just talking about asus pulsar or pg27aqn or pg248qp, even strobe utility on benqs barely look much different, like it is just a brightness slider it seems, i mean there some clarity improvements, but so subtle
is this changing the duty cycle?, i thought reducing duty cycle would be a dramatic increase in motion clarity

For Benq displays:
Only DyAC1/DyAC+ have the necessary VCP commands to be able to actually adjust the duty cycle (pulse width) to a non-preset option.
Blurbusters Utility acts as a GUI for these commands.
The benefits of that is usually seen in a larger
effective motion clarity, which can be spotted by looking at fast UFOs.
For example:
3840px/s would be ≤1px of blur ("perfect" / static-like) eye-tracked motion clarity on a CRT.
The most important part that users don't talk about is the
physical speed at which objects move (measured in pixels / second)
If your game is relatively slow, you won't
see any benefits from lower duty cycle. That doesn't mean they aren't there.
Lower duty cycle is mostly necessary for achieving a short pulse on interval at lower refresh rates.
On 240-360Hz, one can get away with a higher pulse width.

i have like 4 asus monitors, and all the smaller windowed modes, like 25 inch, 24,5 inch are all wrong, 25 is 24.9. and 24.5 inch is 24.2 inch
sure its not game breaking, but insanely unbelievable, these people are extremely smart, they either have wrong math, or arent taking into account the true monitor screen area. just use a tape measure and check your numbers ...

I got 48hz and 24hz to work on Pulsar with strobbing. Having the same clarity as 60hz. The cleanest video motion I ever seen. Surpases Plasma & CRT's.
Hopefully the 120hz update can put motion quality on par with 60hz. That way I can use 72hz. Right now 72hz isn't as clear because I'm using 120hz as my base. And using qft to go down to 72hz.
With 24hz and 48hz i'm using 60hz as my base for qft. Which gives me the same clarity as 60hz strobe. qft takes on the same clarity of whatever your starting base hz is. If I use 120hz as my base, for 48hz qft, then it's less clear. So it's best to use 60hz.
Hoping you share how you achieved this. Would be a shame to let the knowledge rot with you :')

Wait till they drop the next patch, so they don't patch it out

I'm guessing using Custom Resolution Utility 1.5.3 with a new Detailed Resolution but I'm not sure what settings.
