500hz vs 240hz

[Emzii]

Hey friends, i have a 500hz monitor, but i currently dont get 500fps so my question is is it worth dropping my hz to 240? and capping my fps at say 300 ?

or should i just play 500hz wth as much fps as i can push?

is there a negative to playing with such a high refresh rate when you cant get equal fps?

if not ill just stick to 350ish and 500hz haha

whats your GPU and what size is your screen?
there is a guide in news for cs2 that tells you whats best but im guessing it does not cover 500hz

You just dont get the complete benefits of motionsmoothness and imageclarity with less fps.
Dropping to 240Hz wouldnt make any sense because you wouldve entirely wasted your money


Theres just two ways, either pay another extreme for an AMD X3D processor to achieve the FPS results or just kick that screen back to its vendor and get an OLED instead, which will outperform it at every single aspect at 240Hz anyways.
There is no more use for high refreshrate LCD screens, on tournaments the equipment isnt good enough from the hosts to run this many frames, the engine of the game isnt properly multithreaded, atleast for Intel CPUs and if you play any other game its also not very useful since you may or even very likely get even less fps, at the same time an awful picture quality.

Also there is even a 480Hz OLED that ship with hybrid modes such as 1080p/480Hz or 240Hz/4K res, have competing pricetags but much higher quality and bang for bucks.
Personally i wouldnt get another LCD screen anymore, they are heavily overpriced for garbage picturequality and need so many messed up features like DyAc, colorsaturation or black equalizer just because the technology is heavily outdated since it hit the market at early 2000‘s and at the end the image stays awful, no matter what.

I believe there are no negatives, do correct me if wrong.

If monitor is slow and GPU is fast, there will be screen tear and input lag.
If monitor is fast and GPU is slow, monitor will just draw the same image multiple times smoothly.

You should obviously play with as much hz and fps you can get.

[redd]

only negative imo is that you won't be able to play on a different setup than urs :)

gsync or freesync is your best friend in this case.

the higher the refresh rate the less input lag even if your fps cant keep up , (if your fps keeps up it reduces even more) (I tested it myself using the benchmark)


just cap fps to whatever is stable.

and consider upgrading gpu , cpu or pc in the future


the negative is the monitor tearing screen but this is fixed by any gysync technology on monitor.

also it might use more resources and power energy but yeach...

check response time on monitor settings since you can also change stuff in there.

also check if your monitor has no overclock on refresh rate where it goes 560 hz

and make sure game uses that refresh rate and not 60 hz by default

theres no reason for you to have even 240hz, these differences only matter at a very high level

It is also eye candy and if he has the money why not? It is not like every porsche driver is a race car driver yet they drive a porsche.

Absolutely false, 240hz it’s a huge advantage already over 60hz player, combined with a mechanical keyboard and good mouse + willing to play seriously you will make some damage for sure

To clarify the Monitor was gifted to me from Alienware, so i deffo didnt pay my own money for it haha, nor would i fork out for such a crazy high refresh rate with my own cash, when my pc cant run at 500+.

I will be getting a new pc "soon" from them too but till then i was just wondering about the inbetween. i think i just stick to 280ish fps and 500hz ?
