Acer Predator X34 Will get 100Hz Refresh Rate Support
Acer is released slash offering two 34" ultra-wide gaming screens, the XR341CK and the XR341CKA. These new screens offered 34" curved format screens with a 21:9 aspect ratio and 3440 x 1440 resolution based on a LG AH-IPS panel, boosted refresh rates and a selection of advanced gaming features including AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-sync respectively.
These screens were released as 75 Hz screens, however as it now seems Acer decided to change the model number to a simpler "Predator X34" screen and there's a new spec, it will support refresh rates up to 100Hz. Reports suggest that is only available when using G-sync specifically, AMD users and non-G-sync users could only use the screen up to an expected 75Hz.
The estimated first ETA for the 'updated' Predator X34 at the moment is the beginning of October for retail availability. We expect the price to be more than the XR341CK given the G-sync module, but a final retail price has yet to be announced.

Yeah it's a nVidia thing but as of today it can't be activated while using G-sync so you have to pick one
so unless something has changed. Man I really want more info if I should wait for this or grab the freesync one.. I hate waiting 
ULMB is nvidias refined lightboost hack. Im asuming its also done throught their module.

Even if it doesnt have ULMB, you should still get the gsync one... cuz its 100hz. Its a no-question.
The 75hz can still be called low refresh. 100hz can be called high refresh, and people who are used to 144hz will be ok with it.
If you get the 100hz one, you have the best-in-slot monitor for the next 5 years at least.
Due to SUPER SLOW cable bandwidth advancements, you wont see anything noticeably better anytime soon.

oh it has ULMB, you just can't use it at the same time as G-Sync!
Yes that's what I'm waiting for - a confirmation that this screen is real 100Hz with OR without G-Sync. There's some reports that the screen is only 100Hz when using G-sync (nvidia cards) so then I wouldn't be able to use 100Hz as a AMD user. But if they say it's 100Hz all the time then I'll get it and perhaps get nvidia cards next year!
