FPS in game VS Monitor HZ

[D2d2d2d2]

Hi guys,
May I ask for some opinion or guidance as I’m not too good in these..
For csgo matches in game live i always been able to maintain 270+ FPS(frames per second). And i’m currently usung an ordinary 60hz monitor from BENQ don’t remember the exact mode but it’s a normal version. Thinking of having a change to BENQ XL2430T which is on 144hz , is that something that I would need since I already got 270fps in game??
As i checked google, fps VS hz states : Your monitor or display is where refresh rates come in. Refresh rate is measured in frequency (Hz) which is the number of times per second your monitor can redraw the screen. A refresh rate of 85Hz means that your display can redraw the entire screen 85 times in one second.

Does that mean that your frame rate is limited by your screen’s refresh rate? No; they are two separate things. Remember that FPS is how many frames your gaming computer is producing or drawing, while the refresh rate is how many times the monitor is refreshing the image on the screen. The refresh rate (Hz) of your monitor does not affect the frame rate (FPS) your GPU will be outputting. However, if your FPS is higher than your refresh rate, your display will not be able to display all of the frames your computer is producing, so although the refresh rate doesn’t technically limit the frame rate, it does effectively set a cap.

effectively speaking, it's advised to cap your fps on how many hz your monitor has, so your computer won't always try and output a higher framerate that your monitor can't even display properly

U mean this will be a good way to take care of the CPU/GPU right ? As I am hitting 270+fps but it has been useless as my monitor can only redraw the entire screen 60 times in one second?

Yep

Capping your fps means your computer won't force itself to the limits, giving you resources from your cpu and / or gpu to spare for when more power is needed

60hz 60fps, 18ms+
144hz 144fps 7ms
U just can be faster with 144hz and have more smoothly image

Get 240hz monitor.

240fps and 240hz, how much ms will it be ? below 5ms ?

Yes but there is little difference between 144hz and 240hz. But its big difference in price.

You won't see more fps than your monitor's refresh rate.
You get better mouse moment with higher fps like 300 fps on a 60hz monitor would feel a lot better than 60 fps, but you would not see a difference.
And if you're on a 60hz monitor i advice you to change to 144hz, the difference is HUGE.
And also the game is smoother on a 144hz monitor even though you dont have 144 fps,
it feels smoother on a 144hz monitor with 70 fps for example.

And also do not cap your fps to your refresh rate!

Why are you giving people advices when you clearly dont know anything?
please just dont do it unless you know what you're talking about.

Noted, you would recommend me keeping and letting my fps like how it used to be and just upgrade to 144hz.. Other than benq XL2430T , any other you can recommend?

Ok.. thanks for such great and valuable feedbacks as I learned alot.. Yes quite a big difference in price.. i was considering 240hz as u mentioned due I get more than 270fps..but if it’s not a big difference and it’s just for csgo purpose then just upgrade to 144hz should be sufficient

Its bigger difference between 60hz vs 75hz then 144hz vs 240hz. Go for 144hz.

Dont listen to guys like this, if you want to have the most out of a game like csgo you will need as many fps as you can get, sure a 60hz monitor can only refresh at the speed of 60fps (thats not a 100% accurate statement but i try to keep it as simple as possible) but as the monitor doesnt refresh when a frame is drawn (at least with vsync disabled which you should do as it adds input lag) you will have a higher chance that you actually get the most recent drawn frame on your screen the higher fps you get

What the other guys said is true tho

[D2d2d2d2]

I will maintain the fps max for csgo..currently on GTX 1060 6gb and i5-5500k, and i get 270+fps consistency.. if I made an upgrade to 144hz, csgo on 1920x1080 highest resolution, am I getting a 4k display ? Just curious..Will use DP 1.4 direct to graphic card slot

144hz is kind of meh. The servers are still crappy
