CS:GO: I have a 75Hz monitor. Should I get 144hz monitor over the old one?

[пущьуекн]

Hello guys.
At the moment I own a 75hz monitor. I am thinking whether to buy a new 144hz monitor (BenQ XL2720Z to be more precise) or not . Is it realy worth spending money for a new 144hz monitor?
Sidenote: I can easily run CS:GO at over 250fps on my PC.

I am a little bit hesitant, because some say it doesn't matter and that it won't affect your game much, and that you can play well with 75hz as well.

Please try giving reliable info based on your own expirience.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I decided to buy a 144hz BenQ XL2720Z. It is amazing, but it feels awkward at the beginning. I had a feeling like I was cheating. It is easier to aim and playing CS:GO with this monitor is such a pleasure. I highly reccommend it.

if you can only game at 20fps, its not worth getting a monitor over 60hz

first get a better gpu or cpu, whatever is holding it back

Hello!

It really won't affect your game, the best would be to get a g-sync monitor to get away those lines on the normal monitor but they are expensive and most players don't even see them.

Have a nice day!

I wrote I could run at over 250 fps, not 20 fps.
I have GTX970 and i7 6700k. It is a decent PC.

I guess, you didn't play CS:GO much. How can you say it is not worth getting a 144hz monitor? Explain. Have you even tried 144hz monitor yourself?

No I haven't played with a 144hz monitor, but I can say it's pretty unecessary. You only would need it when you're playing in a League.

Happy playing!

i have a 144hz monitor and i will say its a MASSIVE improvment

Even a 144hz monitor wont fully render all the frames the game is trying too send it...screen tearing, ghosting, and pixilation will occur. But still a 144hz monitor is an improvement yes.

you have to activly looking for screen tearing on a 144hz monitor to actually see it it is MUCH harder to spot then a 60hz and ive never seen ghosting or pixilation

I notice it, and actually prefer gaming on 60Hz with Vsync to 120/144Hz without because of it.

HOWEVER...

I don't play CS:GO or really any competetive online shooters anymore. If I did, I would put up with the minor tearing w/144Hz just for the reduction in input lag alone.

The human eye doesn't see in FPS, rather it merely gets annoyed with frame rate shifts.

You can happily watch a movie at 24 FPS in the cinemas... as it's a continuous smooth flow. There's distance and quality involved.

A console normally works at a mere 30 FPS on the TV, yet still gets away with it too. There's blurry bending of pixels involved on a TV.

Yet when you get to a PC monitor, the image quality goes up and the distance gets closer. The human eye notices the sharpness of those image edges, and the sharper quality they are, the more it notices the movement to be off. Then you get into some hardcore action, the graphics card drops in FPS. This is where the human eye gets annoyed. The brain will even attempt to fill in the missing gaps to complete it... to a point.

Hense higher FPS = Less fluxuation in the smoothness rate.

So ask yourself, currently... is your human eye annoyed by the current rate? Or is it running smoothly enough, that your brain doesn't notice?

Sure I guess - I've explained this before in greater detail in the past. Hmm, here you go:
