75hz vs 60hz monitor for this game?

[rkosmo]

I deciding on two monitors and one has 75hz and the other has 60hz, I plan on using v sync because I heard its good for getting rid of lag or whatever its called, but im also not fully aware what hz will do for me. Thanks.

V-Sync has a single purpose, to eliminate screen tearing. Screen tearing usually happens whenever the in-game fps is higher than your display’s refresh rate. The refrsh rate it what 60hz and 75hz is reffering to. So if you want to cap your fps to match the moitors refresh rate, then you use V-Synch. Down side is say you have it set to either 60fps or 75fps, you may only get 30fps still it the GPU does not conseitently keep the fps at or above 60 normally.

So 75hz >60hz, but if your GPU isn't going to keep your games at or obove 75fps consitently then the 60 is probably going to suit your needs better, as well as likely be cheaper.

also if the lag is CPU or memory based, it won't matter how good your video and display are.

Vsync actually introduces a small amount of input lag:

"V-Sync adds input lag because it delays frames from being shown on screen, making the time between when you do something and when it appears on screen longer. The amount of input lag is highly dependant on the game engine and how it's rendering pipline works..."

Just wanted to note that MSI afterburner causes a conflict with 7D2D and creates an out of exception error. The issue lies with Riva Tuner ultimately, but that's something to be aware of as it's mentioned in the link provided.

it only causes problems if not properly configured.. i use afterburner with the rivatuner overlay on 7dtd with no problems

as you can see the game is running with rivatuner overlay

This game runs ♥♥♥♥ no matter if you have 60hz or 75hz screen...

Thanks, the monitor with 75hz is free sync compatible as well as the pc im getting, so ill be able to use both free sync and v sync.

If you're going 75hz, you might as well jump up to a 144hz monitor to just have the option, as they aren't really that expensive these days.

I use an Acer Predator monitor that is FreeSync & 144hz... but I set it at 100hz, since 144hz is generall overkill for the games I play.

I have no MSI hardware and am not framiliar with Riva Tuner. We just see the error on the bug section of the forum all the time. If you know of a way to set it up that it will work with 7D2D. Could you make some instructions so we can pin them to the bug section for people to solve thier issue with? I'm sure it would be mighty useful as welll as helpful if you could. It comes up all the time and we just tell everyone disable it. Problem solved, uinless ofc you want to use MSI afterburner...

Because the monitor isn't going to make a huge impact on performance overall. A potatoe with a 240Hz mointor is still a potatoe.

It's not compatibility that is the issue, or that will determine if you should use V-sync or not. As a rule of thumb do not use V-synch no matter what display you use unless tearing appears to be a problem. G-synch is pretty awful much of the time too, though can work in some scenarios.

I find, if you do need to use V-Sync, setting it to 'Fast Sync' in the Nvidia control panel is a really good compromise w/ minimal imput lag. (none that I can tell anyways)

Works for me as well. I have no MSI hardware (my specs are on my profile). No special guide.

This just comes down to an individual user needs to know what software may conflict on their system and if they have a conflict the person needs to diagnose their system.
So yeah, they either need to disable it on their system or figure out what is causing the issue there.

@ Swanky J. Love your avatar looks awesome. Reminds me of Christmas Story movie with Ralphie in it who ends up being a pink nightmare
