I set my tracing from 60 to 100, I notice no difference at all in games... so what is the point? Also, if you could please share your settings I would appreciate it. I currently use Game Mode on default, not sure where to start when it comes to tweaking.

My question is pretty simple... what is the point of tracing on Asus monitors.

Hi

IPS 5ms GTG "Trace Free overdrive function" my understanding at this time is that it helps to reduce ghosting during motion images

Can you set it to 0 ? If yes; launch a game, see if there is a difference. if not, set it back at 60
