Side 1: ASUS ROG Swift PG 247 QNR in the test: With 360 Hz and NVIDIA Reflex

ASUS, NVIDIA and AU Optronics ignite the next level of performance and bring 360 Hz fast eSport displays on the market, thanks to NVIDIA’s reflex technology should come up with a particularly short latency. That sounds promising – in our test the ASUS ROG Swift PG 259 NQR first show how the promised is implemented in practice.

The times when monitors were allowed to call themselves “gaming”, but only with 60 Hz worked seem like a long time ago. Hardwareluxx even had a print magazine at that time, that’s how long ago it was – yes, it really existed once!

We are in the intermediate time with many intermediate steps in extreme 360 Hz landed, the previous maximum level is again increased by 80 Hz increased. Are we at the announcement of the new 320 – Hz class assumed that it is a further development step of the TN class, reality sees in autumn 2020 different, because all initially available 360 – Hz monitors use a new “Dual -Driver-IPS-Panel “from AU Optronics, which was jointly developed with NVIDIA. We can already reveal that the new panel is not only fast, but can also score in other ways. However, one cannot hope for maximum image sharpness, because the native resolution is 1. 920 x 1.0 80 pixels, what to need with a view to 360 FPS certainly not the worst thing is.

The new eSport generation – because that is the only group that really benefits from the fast refresh rate – but it is not only characterized by its panel. There is a new G-Sync module that supports the new reflex technology from NVIDIA in addition to the fundamentally known technology if a suitable mouse is connected. To put it simply, the Reflex Low Latency Mode, if it is supported by the games, should provide a “smoother” feel, as the latency between operating the mouse and playback on the monitor is significantly reduced. At the same time, it is possible to analyze the lag of the system over the entire pipeline, which was previously only possible with considerable financial outlay. We will introduce the system in more detail on the following pages.

The ASUS ROG Swift PG 259 QNR is an extreme niche device, tailored to eSports enthusiasts and very ambitious hobby gamers. Accordingly, it is not surprising that the 24 – Zöller is comparatively expensive. Around 800 euros must be from December should be invested in the competition device as soon as it is available. If you don’t want to wait so long and can do without the reflex feature, you can go to the PG 259 QN grab, so the version without “R”. This is otherwise identical.
