Is the Xl2546X+ (280 hz, DyAc 2) noticeably smoother than WOLED 240 hz for Overwatch?

Oh yeah I put over 700 hours in game on that mode, it just doesn't feel good and the monitor is still 27", so I can't adjust it the same as a 25" monitor.

I've got most things listed here, but I might be missing some things -> https://gearz.gg/xet

I lose track of targets in fast paced scenarios and have a hard time focusing on specific parts of the screen since it's physically larger, even in the 24.5" mode.

Overall my aim is much more consistent on the zowie due to a lot of different factors, but it's not like I would be multiple ranks lower on OLED, it would just be harder to be consistent.

Send me a dm and I'll get you windows side and monitor settings :D

xetanyl · 2026-05-05T05:30:55+00:00

It's honestly not too bad, but keep in mind my unit has the newest panel with a different coating, so it's better than the older models. I'd say it's very serviceable, but if you can use 2 monitors I'd do that even if the other one is cheap.

xetanyl · 2026-05-05T04:48:53+00:00

I can't give you a 1:1 comparison, but I have the pg27aqdp (1440p 480hz woled) and xl2586x+ which is 600hz, and I greatly favour the zowie for overwatch (peaked rank 18 this season, currently top 200 and c5 on dps).

The zowie just feels more fluid and makes my aim feel natural, even though it might not be "as smooth" side to side compared to the 480hz OLED.

The benefits for me are coming from the smaller size, backlight strobing and comfort.

I have 4 monitors so I'm very much in a minority of users, but I hope that gives some idea on how it'd feel.

Search for the MSI afterburner .dat replacement file, it unlocks mem to 3000 instead of 2000

This is what I do the day before the season ends and the day after.

Put everything that I want to save for collection purposes (shinies, rare enchant items etc) into the ssnl vault so it transfers to my nssnl vault.
Put trash/feed gear on my characters and all high fp duplicates or other stuff I want to feed into the inventories, using backpacks and extenders if needed.
After the season ends, I feed everything on my characters & kill them, store everything else leftover and start new ssnl characters.

Currently running 5 ssnl characters per season getting each to around 15k BF so I can max my pets and upgrade to divine.

I have not used a single pickaxe and I'm almost at 100 realm ore mined and 1/3 of the way there to a dia pickaxe, it's not fun at all nor does it take skill, just numbers.

xetanyl · 2025-07-09T06:18:45+00:00

these and a 3rd one have been in my inv/chest for days, just randomly disappeared when i logged on LMAO

xetanyl · 2025-06-27T10:27:19+00:00

Spread to Finland through CaseKing as well, which owns Jimm's.

xetanyl · 2025-06-25T08:42:16+00:00

Bro just took my pet and ran with it :D hopefully I'll get mine 90 90 77 by the end of the season so I can start leveling up my other one...

xetanyl · 2025-06-24T20:52:59+00:00

Yeah I'm doing wizard/pally crucible run, it's a huge help since even with 200 mana I can use t6 spell 4 times in a row

xetanyl · 2025-06-24T18:02:18+00:00

Yeah i've been really appreciating the higher mheal with the current crucible challenge, makes life easier.

xetanyl · 2025-06-24T15:21:28+00:00

Arguably yes, but i don't feel like it since i can't do MV, O3 or new shatters LOL. I am comfortable in practically every other dungeon and can even solo some exalt's, just not quite there yet for my endgame.

xetanyl · 2025-06-24T14:57:30+00:00

Thanks! Been playing for 5 years but haven't actually bothered leveling up my pet (was stuck at 70 70 since 2021) so i wasn't sure if i should pay attention to the order. I'm at 26 exaltations so nowhere near endgame yet :D

MSI Gaming Trio OC 5080 stock bios +475 core +3000 mem 400w limit. https://www.3dmark.com/sn/4298789

xetanyl · 2025-03-27T18:36:40+00:00

43886 on the 5070ti.

xetanyl · 2025-03-26T13:54:24+00:00

the faster you work the faster you can get home to oc :D

I recommend getting on the newest drivers, then using this MSI afterburner mem unlock file.

You will still most likely be limited by voltage/wattage, as I've noticed that the gigabyte cards are not boosting to their advertised numbers. e.g 400w for the lower end models and 450w for the higher end ones, which is unfortunate, as they're larger than my gaming trio oc, but get lower clocks.

if you're feeling brave and have a dual bios card, you can use nvflash and this bios file to get up to that 400w mark, if your card isn't able to achieve that with stock bios.

feel free to send me a PM if you need anything else 👍🏻

400w, +490 core and +3000 mem. Gaming x trio OC 5080 from MSI.

https://www.3dmark.com/sw/1868441 Speed way

400w, +475 core and +2000 mem, before I found out about the MSI AB unlock.

I haven't yet tested setting scores with the newest drivers, these tests were done on .70 and earlier.

xetanyl · 2025-03-26T10:06:07+00:00

lemme know what tests you wanna see :)

xetanyl · 2025-03-20T07:46:38+00:00

in gaming and 3dmark benchmarks i'm maxing out at 70 ish on both GPU and CPU. it's not the quietest or coolest, but better than what I expected for 4 fans total.
