The predator xb273 x would kill those TN. This monitor is legit under 3ms response time with 0% overshoot. My oscilloscope readings are 2.5-2.6ms g2g on a 10-90% rise/fall readings.
Variable overdrive thx to the g sync module is the main reason why it can go slightly faster than the maximum allowed for freesync monitor at 3ms before inverse ghosting dominates. Only the omen x 27, nitro xf252q, and omen x25f have a lower resonse time. But keep in mind, those have like 4-7% overshoot so be mindful of that. The input lag however isnt even close. With native g sync, my inputs are instantaneous. Its so low that playing online feels the same as offline.
At 60hz? Hahaha unlike the omen x 25f where the input lag gets horrendous. The xb3 predator modules are excellent at 60hz when it comes to input lag. The input lag ive experienced is even lower than the msi and alienware at 60hz and keeps the 2.6 ms g2g thx to the fine tuned g sync hardware scaler.
Omfg smash ultimate online is playable again!!
If the omen x 25f goes head to head with the g sync predator xb273x, thanks to the ridiculously low input lag, the omen would get destroyed presuming of course their skill levels are similar or equal.
Heres a point of reference. Guess who's the #1 ranked input lag monitor on rtings? Its freesync cousin of the xb273x the acer nitro xv273 x. The major diff is, with g sync hardware, input lag is instantaneous and inp7t lag at 60hz is lower than any monitor ive ever tested in my entire life.
Here's a point of reference how much of a disadvantage the fastest TN monitor has over the acer predator xb273x, the MSI MAG251rx, and the Dell Alienware aw2521hf
it has +1.30 more input lag and that's presuming the FPS is staying at 240hz. If it dips to say. 165hz, 144 hz, 60hz, etc it gets horrendous whereas the predator, as the FPS dips, the input lag generally remains fairly well since its negligible processing delays.
btw the acer nitro xv273x is the same exact panel as the acer predator xb273x. They came out at the same time except the native g-sync module has a faster response time and lower input lag(since it has a g-sync hardware scaler is TUNED and tested by nvidia to synchronize the fresh rate moreso than the GPU(freesync monitors), which then allows variable overdrive and instantaneous input lag.
basically,
TN is beat. Good news for TN is that the fastest TN is still ahead in response times by about 0.4-0.5ms
(the UFO tests on the omen x25f and the nitro xf252q are slightly better (not by much). I still see ghosting on the UFO's triple white tally marks on the predator but the omen x25f and the nitro xf252q doesn't have much ghosting on those 3 white tally marks.
but
what good is a 0.4-0.5 g2g advantage when their
INPUT LAG is a disadvantage? at 240hz, MPRT is already good enough as it is and those negligible differences in g2g response times won't really matter that much in my opinion as opposed to lower input lag
