    Considering picking up one of the 144hz units currently on sale... but if the quality of the 240hz panel is a step up in any way, then I might have to just take the plunge.

    If anyone finds something - please post it!

    Unless you're playing CS:Go or Overwatch, the Blade is not going to have the hardware chops to drive the 240 Hz display to its full potential. My desktop has a 240 Hz monitor and it's way overkill. I'm planning on selling it for a higher refresh IPS panel.

    The Blade could easily run 240 FPS in Rocket League. It would be glorious too...

    There’s a lot games that may take advantages from 240Hz even on 1070maxq like fifa, Devil my cry, bioshock resident evil, with rtx cards it should be more. On demanding triple A titles even desktop cards has difficulties reaching that due cpu bottleneck on 1080p.

    Notebookcheck has a review up for the gigabyte with the 240 hz display. It looks like it might actually be a downgrade from the 144 hz. Since it has poor brightness. I’m guessing razer is using the same display.
