Good thing Nvidia is actually going to sell this for less than expected. GG WP '240Hz' display chain is complete.

 

TN Film tho.

Yes, it is a TN panel I am sure - but they are getting pretty good.

That's about the only thing a monitor like this would be good for. Otherwise the resolution and TN panel are just no bueno.

CS:GO?

If not, then I'm pretty sure CS 1.6 would fit the bill.

 

Black ops 2

 

Interesting. Would need some crazy GPU horsepower to push that kind of framerate though. Realistically 240Hz is a pretty small upgrade. Without UMLB blur that will be somewhere around half as good as a 120Hz ULMB, around 3.5ms of motion blur. 240Hz ULMB is stetty small upgrade, dropping from about 1.4ms of motion blur to 0.7. Pretty insubstantial upgrade.

I'd rather them work on an 1080P IPS display w/ a significantly more powerful backlight. ULMB isn't very bright.

Yeah i wonder that too, it has been the same with 144Hz in the past, at least you can now see the benefits of such high refresh rate on games like csgo, csgo, and....mmh

Umm, your avatar is the symbol for one of those games - UT.

Pretty much any really competitive shooter will have people running hundreds of frames per second consistently, because nobody cares about graphics. Quake, UT, CS, etc... heck, a lot of top players are still using 4:3 resolutions like 1024x768.

Overwatch, Dota 2, CS:GO, LoL.

you have a point and i suppose it would be less games than ones with >144fps.

You don't really need such refresh rates (even 120Hz on those would be overkill) on games like Dota 2 or LoL, CSGO is probably the one in more need of that, about overwatch, well, that game isn't really designed for "competitive" as we know it, it was more forced to the competitive scene, but that's another matter.

 

I've been waiting for this since the AUO panels got announced. Now we just need better CPUs and GPUs.

This is very odd. Something must not be right for you, or there is another limitation in those gametypes - I'd never touch Onslaught (carz and competitive play? lulz) but I know I can render 400-500fps in game.

Additionally, you're playing at highest settings. Nobody competitive does that. Literally nobody. This is more like it: https://www.twitch.tv/supnmu/v/100579366

I just opened up Rankin 1v1 on my laptop and I average 200-260fps at 1080p. An i7-6700HQ - that's like less than half the single-thread performance of a i7-6700K.

EDIT: Here, 200+fps on my laptop WITH 7 bots, a CPU load that would never exist in multiplayer.

I little confused at all the hubbub.. BenQ/Zowie have had a 240hz monitor for a few months in the xl2450... its very likely the identical panel with a gsync module added.

You can walk into almost any Fry's and pick one up today... I actually had it for about a week but returned it; 24.5" is too small...

I was able to play Overwatch at 240fps on low/med settings on a 980ti.

Eizo has had a 240hz VA-panel 1080p monitor since 2013. This ASUS isn't anything special.

okay sweet, this might work for me, i still play on 1080p.

lol that's old. Not real 240hz though. Frame doubled 120hz...

1080p at 240hz and 8 bit color requires about 12Gb/s which is above hdmi 1.4a.
1440p at the same setup, requires about 21.2Gb/s, which is above DP 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 and almost reach DP 1.3.
4K at the same setup, requires 47.7Gb/s, which is above DP 1.3/1.4, and hits the ceiling of HDMI 2.1 which only now announced, and it will require new cables, and new GPUs which aren't even out yet to test.

2017 claims is all nice and dandy, but you can't make a monitor a large part of your market can't even use.
Let alone making a high resolution panel that can handle such density and performance consistently which could be technically too expensive to make.

All of AMD's lineup except the new mid and low 400 series cards for example, don't have support for such a monitor if it was above 1080p, and even nvidia's previous gen cards are locked out of it.
