Hello everyone, buy a msi pulsar version and it will comes to me 2 days later. Im choosing my new monitor between 500hz oled and this new pulsar tech. And just wanna try a perfect motion clarity without a risk of burn in after several years of use. Comes from a benq zowie xl2735 tn 144hz monitor.

It's worse than your BenQ, since you can tune it properly using BBUtil.
You're better off using Nvidia FastSync + enabling MBR on your XL2735 and fragging.
You'll achieve the same positives, while mitigating all the negatives of this mediocre Pulsar (VRR+PWM) implementation.

1. Is this monitor good for competitive playing now, for games, where u can easily handle the 300-357 fps?

It's terrible for any competitive games due to the added processing latency & mediocre clarity benefits compared to fixed refresh rate solutions.

2. Is this pulsar tech still provide superior motion clarity in 300-357 fps range with all settings properly sets like gsync-vsync-reflex on or gsync-framecap357( like in rtss) or any other proper settings for superior clarity compare to other monitors or OLED with high refresh rates?

You shouldn't be using 357FPS when using GSYNC.
Your frame rate limiter isn't good enough to sustain that tight of a difference.
360 FPS = 2,777778 ms
357 FPS = 2,80112045 ms
The difference between them is 0,023342672 ms, aka 23,342672 µs
Windows as a OS & frame rate limiters simply aren't good enough for this.
Even 350 isn't good enough (~0,07936508 ms aka 79,36508 µs)
In comparison, NVidia's autocap goes for a value of 324 FPS @ 360Hz, which ~0,308642 ms (~308,642 µs)
This is orders of magnitudes larger in PC time & a good minimum starting point.

3. Why the Nvidia refuse to upgrade and qol update to the pulsar tech itself, not a 60hz or 120hz, but for straight motion clarity at higher HZ possible, like 320-357, cause nvidia says with this tech u can get a x4 clarity of 320-357fps@360hz and perfect motion clarity, but last month what I'm reading, all the people not like or don't see any progress >300fps with motion clarity. Isn't this a first of all sell point of this monitors? [/

Welcome to planned obsolescence and no Q&A future.
Enjoy your stay.

Y, i can turn on mbr like dyac1 and fast sync, using blurb strobe util, but even with utility, even with 120hz custom resolution, i have big overshoot and crosstalk on top and bottom of the screen, only 100hz custom res give me near clean UFO test picture, but 100hz is already noticeable drop in clarity and u feel it immediately after u start gaming, just wanna get good with new monitor and feel the difference, feel the good clarity, i think if pulsar is not good at all, than ill just try to return it and get 500hz OLED instead.
My pulsar will come to me tomorrow, so less a 1 day stay for check this new feature

Would you be willing to do some TestUFO pursuit photographs and make a thread or reply to a older thread on this particular model?
I'm curious how the XL2735 performs on:

When tested on 100, 120, 144 Hz

500 FPS @ 500 Hz is required to fully take advantage of the clarity boost.
Your XL2735 (same as the XL2730Z, I believe, whose data I will quote) should be able to achieve 1333 Hz (~90cd/m²) & 2000 Hz (~50cd/m²) effective clarity.

For competitive games, ULMB2 (fixed refresh rate strobing) is the better choice on these QHD@360Hz models.

Posted samples in this thread viewtopic.php?t=5091 , y i know that i need 500 fps when u have a 500 hz oled for full clarity, i have 9800x3d and 5070ti and 48gb ram, so in pubg i have 450-550 fps ingame

Buy both OLED and PULSAR monitors and compare if possible, theres many pros and cons to both for use case and how you personally perceive blur.

Looking at your pursuit photos its going to be a huge upgrade either way.

if i only can do this and try both at the same time

but now im choose the pulsar and today will test it, if something goes wrong, ill try to send it back and buy oled instead

Will be interesting to hear your thoughts.

I'm interested to know what you mean by this, how 'terrible' is it really?

viewtopic.php?p=123829#p123829
viewtopic.php?p=121385#p121385 (cant edit this old one anymore for some reason lol)

These two posts should clear up what I mean

tldr: For comp games (OW2, Valorant, CS2, Apex, The Finals, FN), it's simply redundant in today's market.
There are options which achieve much better clarity without the repercussions of the GSYNC+VSYNC+Reflex setup (which should be "optimal" use-case)
Fixed refresh rate strobing (DyAc2, ULMB1 & a few others) would give you:
- No compensation pulse nerfing MPRT / strobe 'on' period due to erratic frametime (which is unavoidable in majority of games)
- No additional / exacerbated eye-strain due to multi-pulse behavior
- No additional proc latency (depending on model) or less additional processing latency than Pulsar
- Much better clarity targets (<0,5ms is easy on select models at higher refresh rates)

VRR+PWM might be better on models employing DyDS 2.0 (e.g.: P245MS Pro), but no review data is out on it yet.
I'm very certain that the detriments of the Pulsar models (HDMI 2.0, compensation pulse nerfing MPRT & Nvidia GPU lock-in) don't exist on these Titan Army models.

Thanks mate, appreciate the reply and detail. So for games like Apex or The Finals etc. do you think a Zowie Dyac2 monitor running at a fixed refresh is a much better choice for motion clarity?

In The Finals, for example, I can pretty much guarantee a locked 260fps at 1440p (around 330 at 1080p). In that instance, is Dyac2 a noticeable improvement over Pulsar? I personally haven't felt any additional eye-strain from Pulsar but I appreciate it can differ significantly from person to person.

Definitely agree that the lack of 'real' HDMI 2.1 is a frustrating point on these Pulsar monitors, especially considering the price.

Would you say ULMB2 at a fixed 240hz on these Pulsar monitors would help with both clarity and the processing latency? Again, I'm not overly sensitive to processing latency, I certainly haven't felt like the Pulsar monitor is slower than any other monitor I've used (swapping between 500hz QD OLED and Pulsar at the minute).
