Newegg is marketing it as 320Hz

but the webpage of XF3 is saying 280Hz. So which is it?

    Resolution vs Refresh Rate

    Resolution

    Max Refresh Rate

    Port Required

    2560×1440 (native)

    Up to 320Hz

    DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1

    2560×1440 (default)

    May show 280Hz

    On some firmware or setups

    The 280Hz figure mentioned on Acer’s Webpage likely refers to the default supported refresh rate without overclocking or on firmware variants. Things that affect it: Firmware version: Some units may initially be capped at 280Hz until a firmware or EDID update unlocks the 320Hz option. Cable quality: Make sure you’re using a certified DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 cable to unlock higher refresh rates. GPU capabilities: Your GPU and driver must support 1440p at 320Hz. Overclocking setting: Some monitors hide the highest refresh rate under a setting like “Overclock” or “Adaptive Sync” in the OSD.
