144hz monitors

[(415!)Fle@B@gL@ne]

I like 144 hz monitor the games feel smoother and easier on eyes you blink more which is a good thing and FPS are higer

dude I play on 60hz laptop and still get swarms.. it wont make much difference if you know what you are doing.

You don't "need" to have vsync on. It removes tearing but adds input lag, this is common knowledge. Higher refresh rates make tearing harder to notice, but to completely remove tearing you still need vsync or the new gsync. That said, many people (mostly FPS players I would think) just live with tearing so they don't get the extra input lag vsync adds.

Also, higher refresh rates have no effect on your frame rate, it is just the amount of full frames the monitor can display each second. The frames are being produced and sent from the GPU, none of it is done by the monitor.

Anyways, I played on 60-75 Hz for 10 years, and thought 60 fps was perfectly smooth. Once you play at 120 fps / 120 hz (or higher), going back to 60 hz feels very choppy. It's all about what your eyes are used to. There's no going back once you make the change.

Now, some idiot is going to say "you can't see more than 30 fps". Wait for it...

^^^ This.

Even back in the old days, veterans like myself used to push our CRTs to 100hz or higher, drop the quality down in the game to get as close to, or beyond 120fps (which usually required overclocking CPU & GPU as well as playing at 640x480 or 800x600) then we increased our PS/2 mouse sampling rate to 200hz (which was the highest you could go) and it really depended a lot on the mouse as some couldn't even handle beyond 60 or 80 (mostly the ball mice) but there were a select few that could do 100 to 200.

Feeling OLD now. :(

no matter if you using 144hz or 240hz monitor you will always going get tearing without vsync on.

Dude probably bought one, and is having a 'Eureka' moment. Hah.

From what i could gather, You are running a

Core i7-3660k @3.5Ghz?
Dual Core? :) (2?)
4.66? Turboboost to 4.66Ghz? (Whut?)
32 GigaGigaByte RAM, (DDR3?)

And a SLI, but you didnt state your GPU.

SuperOverclock+Overclock, Basically your pushing your computer to overheat, then the rest im notsure, and then you have a 1250 (DPS?) Gaming mouse and monitor?

And then you didnt include your cooling system, so means Super Overclock+ Overclock will explode when you push the power button.

Have a nice day exploding your PC. :)

We call that 'Novaclocking' (Super Nova).

i play with 200fps on 60hz i dont understand why hz have to do with fps...

The refresh rate is the amount of times per second the monitor can display a new frame.

Even if you have 200 fps on a 60 Hz monitor, the monitor is only capable of displaying 60 full frames per second. The other 140 frames are largely wasted.

Not necessarily wasted. Even if your monitor can't refresh more than 60 times per second, a lot of people "feel" the benefits of having more than 60 FPS.

This is even more true in BO2 because of how the engine works. Essentially, frame rate affects weapons' rate of fire. Getting over 120 FPS or even 160 FPS is beneficial. More info in this video:

Yeah, that's why I said 'largely' wasted :P

On 60 Hz I still prefer as high fps as possible, it makes tearing harder for me to notice (even though there are more tear lines) because the angular difference between tears is smaller. Each frame displayed on the monitor also becomes several partial frames stitched together, which can give more visual information albeit seperated by tears.

However on 120 / 144 hz, you can easily feel the extra frames, even on the desktop with mouse movement. Not to mention the benefits of less noticeable tearing, stutter, and motion blur.

On the Quake engine which all the CoDs are based on, 125 fps is the magic number. Setting 120 fps cap in the BO2 menu automatically caps it to 125 instead, which is nice. But that is a quirk with the engine.

I dont "see" fps other the counter but its feels alot soother and movement feels better and I notice I blink alot more which is a good thing I read.Overall I like the 144 monitors since I first got in april.

But you will get a heck of a lot less tearing than with a 60hz.
