A full review of the new NVIDIA G-sync Pulsar screen from Asus, examining in detail how how Pulsar performs and all our other usual testing. We also test the latest FW update released yesterday which brings further enhancements to performance.

Very cool, will have to check one out in person. Great article Simon

Hi there, I have an Acer and was curious: how do you properly utilise the 25-inch mode? Do I need to select the new resolution in Windows and in the game? Do I need to work with the Nvidia Control Panel settings at all? Thank you!

TFTCentral

I’ll assume it’s similar to the Asus menu so you need to first enable it in the OSD menu. That should put black borders around the image and it should auto change the resolution in windows. Check NVIDIA control panel to make sure it’s running at the new lower resolution , and still at native refresh rate and that’s it

Denis Matusovskiy

Yup, the OSD offers a 25-inch offer as well. The reason I was asking about NVCP is because it has scaling options, including scaling on the GPU (which I hear works better than trying to do anything on the monitor side). There seems to be no need to do anything there though if the monitor has already downscaled itself 1:1 on the hardware side, is there?

TFTCentral

Yeah no need to do any scaling in this instance as long as you’re using the new lower default res for that mode, which will offer you the sharpest image

Also, a quick note on the upcoming Pulsar article: it would be cool to see a note (technical but perhaps personal impressions if relevant) on use cases it affects the most. I found little improvement over a 360 Hz OLED in target tracking in Apex, but I can consistently keep my eyes on the ball in Rocket League even when ball camera swings a lot. Enemy peeks in Valorant seem smoother, but I'm not sure whether that helps more than enemies showing up marginally faster on OLEDs could have helped.

FYI I've actually updated my Acer monitor's firmware, and there is a pulse width setting (it goes from 10 to 100 as well)
