Blur Busters Forums

Hi everyone! My first post!

I got a question about ELMB-sync.
But first a little background
I have a pretty old 1080p 144hz Gsync monitor AOC 2460PG combined with a RTX2080Ti and a i7 [email protected] ghz

I use Gsync + Vsync ON all the time. 0 stutters and superb smoothness. Some games i need to cap to not see microstutter ( Final Fantasy 15 Assassins Creed Origins ).
I never play FPS shooters but open world and adventure games in single player.

I recently found out about ULMB. I use it with Vsync ON and i set my monitor refreshrate to 85hz.
Most of the games and the time my GPU manages to keep the framerate at exactely 85fps and its amazing. I dont want to return to non-ULMB gaming again.
There are times that the framerate will dipp to 65-77 range in some games and thta causes a tremendous microstutter / stutter / jitter . I play all my games with a controller so a mouse polling solution wont help only a stronger beefier GPU ( RTX 3080-3080Ti or future cards ).

But i read of ASUS having ELMB-SYNC would this help to reduce or eliminate the stutters when the framerates drops below the 85 fps ?

From what I recall ELMB-SYNC is somehow broken - excessive crosstalks with unstable fps or screen is dimming/flickering. In my opinion much better choice is to reduce game details from highest to one step lower for stable 85fps.

Thnx for the reply. It isnt the answer i was looking for. I know the cons like the dimlight and crosstalk.
But my question is a whole different one.
Does the ELMB-SYNC prevents or reduces stutter when you fall below the refreshrate of the monitor ?
Is stutter gone just like how Gsync works ?

The VG259QM has elmb working from 120hz and above
The VG279QM has elmb working from 100hz and above
If the framerate falls below the refreshrate WITHOUT ELMB-SYNC im sure it will stutter like on my ULMB monitor from AOC.

I ask this question because im very sensitive to stuttering and microstutter.
The low dimlight and crosstalk are not the things im too much worried about.

Yes it prevents hz-fps asynchronicity stutters just like normal adaptive-sync. But all the vrr + strobing implementations we have so far are not very beneficial (because of PWM fill). VG25/279QM are not good at max refresh rate, as frame rate decreases it gets even worse. Some implementations are ok-ish only if your framerate dips 20-30 fps below used refresh rate (example).

As a minimum requirement vrr strobing needs adjustable (unlocked) overdrive. Asus and msi lock it on most of their monitors, Gigabyte doesn't.
