what’s the advantages of using 144 hz monitor

[stryxx]

I’m planning to get one

[_I_]

more fps, or atleast more frames displayed

only get a display over 120hz if it supports vsync and gsync

[Guydodge]

much smoother gameplay backgrounds dont blur out nearly as much when in motion
deadly accurate aim when playing shooters.scrolling on the internet just everything
you will never be able to use 60hz again youve been warned

144 isn't really all that high; I'd aim higher.

There are plenty of decent Monitors that don't cost too much; starting at around 165-180 Hz and go up from there.

Getting something that supports FreeSync Premium + Adaptive Sync (should work as GSync compatible as well) and has DisplayPort is a must here.

It's high enough where going any higher is gonna be harder to notice and you'll just have to deal with your graphic card ramping up in fan speed too cool it every time you want to play a game.

But yea, anything is better then 60Hz. Rubbish from 20 years ago.

[N3tRunn3r]

For example, if you set 240 fps on a 60 Hz screen, you only see 60 fps..

If you set 144 fps on a 144 Hz screen, you see 144 fps..

If you set 60 fps on a set 240 Hz screen, well, this is messed up .. but you can change your Hz to lower or higher on anytime through Windows and/or GPU Settings..

Not sure how a monitors refresh rate has anything to do with your gpu ramping up in fan speed. Your gpu will pump out as many frames as you can get regardless of refresh rate unless youre weird and cap your fps to your refresh rate. You could also just set a fan curve for your gpu?

Plus in 2024 theres no reason to go for 144hz unless you simply cant afford anything more, you can pick up a 144hz monitor for pretty cheap, but what is good is that what you would have paid for a 144hz like 2-3 years ago can get you up to a 280hz monitor now.

There is a difference between 144hz and higher, The day I got my 270hz and a bunch of my cs2 friends came over was the day they all were like 'wtf this is so much smoother and far more responsive than 144hz' and because of that, 3 bought a 280hz TUF monitor and one bought a 360hz Dyac+. Its night and day differences, my second monitor is a 144hz and switching between the two is quite noticeable in terms of smoothness and most definitely responsiveness. I think the second you push 360 -> 540hz is where it definitely is far more diminishing but 280hz is the sweetspot imo and the only other technologies to consider is dyac or oled if you want a better display for comp gaming

I don’t think there is much difference over 100hz, but you will need at least 100fps to go with it. If you get a monitor with G-sync or Free sync to match your card, then you only need 60fps vs 100. This could allow you to run higher setting and extend the life of the card. If you’re a pro player, just get a 15” crt. lol

not how it works
it doesnt make any diff if its <1 fps or 100000fps, if the card is at 100% load its 100% load will make no difference on how long the card lasts or how much heat it makes

I was talking about higher graphics settings. Say like if you only had 100fps on low settings, if using G-sync or free sync you only need 60 fps, so you would be able to run higher graphics, because there is 40 fps cushion from 100 to 60.

And extending the life of the card I meant by only needing 60 fps vs 100 as games become more demanding it’s better to only need 60fps vs 100+.

[_I_]

higher visual settings do take more gpu load
but again if the gpu is still at or near 100% load, it will make no diff if its 60 or 100 fps

if fps is capped by cpu or vsync or rtss or something else
then the card can be at idle more and not at 100% and will run cooler

I recently got my first 1440p monitor, and it runs at 144 hz. IPS panel with HDR 400 and Freesync Premium. I upgraded from a 1080p 75 hz monitor.

It's like a revelation! I have new eyes! First, the resolution is a nice improvement. Everything is just so much sharper and nicer, and I'm actually getting more out of my AMD 6800 GPU. For desktop operations I feel like I have a lot more screen real-estate, even though it's the same size screen as before.

In games that run at 120 fps or more, movement is absolutely beautiful. I feel deadly accurate in FPS games now, and when whipping around quickly I really feel like I'm able to identify and track targets a lot better.'

I've initiated a return on it though. This is a Sceptre E325B-QPN168. The price was great for the spec, but there's a weird and persistent buzzing sound, like an old fluorescent tube light. It gets louder the brighter the image, and when turning on HDR it's incredibly annoyingly loud. It also has a strange auto-adjustment of the brightness when switching windows that I dislike, and it's cutting off the very bottom few pixels of the screen.

I've ordered the replacement. LG UltraGear 32GP75B-B. It was surprisingly difficult locating a good 32" monitor at the spec I wanted with an IPS display. Everything else I could find was curved and had a VA display. This one fits the bill. It's quite a bit more expensive, but it should be worth it.

Just make sure you set your display settings to actually use the 144 hz refresh. When I first turned this on, I thought the resolution looked nice, but I was unimpressed with the motion. Turns out I was running it at 60 hz.

And you'll need to make sure you're hooking it up via displayport or HDMI 2.0. If you use HDMI 1.4, you won't be able to take advantage of the higher refresh.

So what are you saying don’t get a G-sync or free sync monitor to match the card or there’s no benefit to using one? Seems like were on different pages.

Faster monitors simply give a smoother, more enjoyable game play.

Better gpu, cpu, more ram, better car and a bigger house w/e. I got my first one way back when I had a GTX650, The software we run is what demands better hardware not the monitor.

no im saying get gsync/freesync
then when the fps does fall below the displays max refresh rate it will lower the refresh rate to the gpus output, and not stutter (show duplicated frames when it doesnt have a new one ready in time) or show partial frames (screen tearing if vsync is off)
