Fullscreen monitor Hz?

[Terrian]

I see no option to set the monitor Hz anywhere. Why I want this: I use a 144Hz low persistence (also known as strobing / blur reduction) monitor that I have set up to work just the way I like it. Side effect of this is that 60Hz looks terrible (the screen visibly blinks, kinda like an old CRT sub-60Hz monitor) and when a game insists that it needs to set it to 60Hz I either have to play windowed or mess with my settings each time (turn off motion blur reduction, lower brightness etc.)

Just to remind people: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME'S PERFORMANCE / FPS.

So... anyone got some ideas?

The game software cannot change the hz of your monitor it can only limit the fps available to the monitor. You can only make those changes through your GPU drivers.

Also, most CRT monitors ran above 60hz, I actually think all of them did.

you have no idea what you are talking about. the game is forcing the monitor into 60hz mode,
making monitors that use lightboost / strobing, such a mine, unusable without disabling it.

strobing inserts a black frame after each frame, which isnt noticable at 120hz, but at 60hz, it looks headache inducing.

no way i'm buying this game while that isnt fixed

you can try forcing the game to run in 144 with steam launch parameters, not sure what they were -freq 144 or something like that. google.com not sure if it'll work tho

I was having this problem myself. All the blacks were gray and other colors were washed out on my 144hz Asus vg248qe.

Managed to fix it though went into my Nvidia Control Panel and under change resolution I changed the Output Dynamic Range from Limited to Full.

Hope this helps

It has a 60fps lock, dealio with it.
Vsync can be disabled from the Nvidia control panel, if you use a G-sync monitor which you should be using in this current year.

Considering the game doesn't even have a VSYNC option, I'd just say screw it and run the game in borderless window mode using Souls "Unsqueezed." You'll get much needed VSYNC plus the game will run at your desktop refresh rate.

You can get a fullscreen borderless window with it, which judging by your original post is the best solution.

However, strobing a 144 Hz signal that actually only has 60 unique frames per second is going to produce double-image artifacts, you probably won't like those -- objects will appear to be in two places at once :(
