I believe ULMB can be set to either 85 Hz, 100 Hz, or 120 Hz on the ROG Swift. So if you can keep steady framerates around one of those marks then stroboscopic mode gaming is amazing.
If, while in strobing mode, you're getting too much tearing or stutters/un-smoothness due to not running V-Sync, in-consistent framerates, framerates with too much variance, etc. etc. Then use G-Sync and non strobing mode instead. G-Sync works amazing for any framerate between 30 (or was the minimum 20?) and about 144. The reviewer that mentioned G-Sync working best in the 40-60 fps range clearly has no idea what he's talking about and shouldn't be making such misleading statements. You can get tearing, stutters/general un-smoothness at any fps - going from 137 fps to 131 to 122 to 144 can cause tearing, and/or stutters/general un-smoothness, in-fact, I even get tearing when I frame-limit my game to my monitors refresh and run that very fps (V-Sync disabled) - GSync will take care of all of that. GSync is just as beneficial at higher framerates (under 144) as it is in the 40-80 range.
That reviewer's comment has made some people (not just in this forum) think that GSync is hardly any use at higher framerates and, as I explained above, that's complete B.S. and a very "amateurish" thing to say, and it makes the reviewer sound like he not only does not know anything about monitors, but has little to no actual gaming experience, AKA stupid comments like that make him sound like a noob.
Seems kind of silly to spend $800 for a 144Hz Gsync monitor and then turn Gsync off. There is an expensive premium attached to this feature.
