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.

One has to love brown nosing Acer did here.
So, is Freesync version 30% cheaper here? I do not think so. Why would I pay for 100Hz screen which they artificially limited to 75Hz?

That's a freesync only problem.
G-Sync, when the lowest refresh is reached, they double the refresh rate.

Thats your problem. Cuz it does. And quadruples the refreshes when the framerate is even lower and so on. Such low fps is never gona feel smooth, but at least its stutter and tear free below the minimum, unlike freesync.

On these FreeSync/G-sync monitors, why do they only spec the highest refresh and not also the lowest? What's FreeSync/G-sync for if there's no lowest refresh rate information?
