Acer Predator XB271HU - which Hz is it, 144 or 165??

[tacanacy]

I see reviews and stores state 144 and 165 Hz, but they all use the same model name... What's the reason to the different numbers?

165Hz via DP with G-Sync enabled
without G-Sync only 144Hz if I understood it correctly

165Hz via DP with G-Sync enabled
without G-Sync only 144Hz if I understood it correctly

So they just list the overclock refresh rate?

 

[Isokolon]

no.
as I understood it, if you enable G-Sync the screen refreshes up to 165Hz
if you don't enable G-Sync it's capped at 144Hz

as said, I'm not sure and it doesn't make much sense to me
but this is how I understood it.

The native refresh rate is 144hz and you change the max refresh rate to 165hz in the option menu.
