I'd say 120/144hz would cover the vast majority of gamers just dandy for years to come, especially for single player/offline gaming. I love my 240Hz Odyssey G9, but I got it purely to spoil myself after spending most of 2020 in lockdown staring at a PC screen for both work and play. Important to remember as well, high FPS will not make a bad player good. More it removes most input lag roadblocks to enable you to play at your "truest" level online.
Agreed
The last one is true. My cousin plays fortnite and wants 120fps because he thinks it will make him the best player. He always blames fps whenever he dies.
Dude. I hate my Odyssey G9. It's so flickery. 240zh doesn't work. Have you had issues with yours?
@@jesselanham1923 No problems at all with it so far. Have you tried the latest firmware version?
@@campersruincod6134 it's hz
120 fps feels incredibly smooth on my oled 4k c1 from lg. I’ve played on a 240hz monitor but on the oled …. Man 120fps just feels so much smoother because oled has the far superior response times with 0 ghosting
I completely agree with that. I went from a 34GN850-B Ultrawide from LG to a C1 Oled and I couldn't be happier.
Love how spunky and fun, but also formal and detailed your videos are. Keep up the good work bro!
for singleplayer titles , 60 fps is more than enough in most cases. esports titles and shooters , you should aim for 100+ atleast
Agreed m8 100%
Indeed.
Or devs could actually optimise there games like ID software did for doom eternal. That game can push 4K at 100 Fps with a pretty midrange card.
idSoftware is just on a completely different level compared to the industry, and they almost always have been. I managed to get DOOM Eternal locked at 240 FPS on my 14” LAPTOP. With Ray tracing on and all setting set to high, I am usually sitting around 100-130 FPS which is absolute insanity for an gaming ultrabook.
Yea Spiderman remastered can do the same
Spider-Man 1440p upscaled unlocked frames going as high a 100fps with ray tracing and VRR on a 400$ machine is unbeatable rn💯
2021 I upgraded from 1080p 120hz to 1440p 144hz and I couldn't be happier. I play alot of games where they're graphic heavy, and 1440p has brought my gaming to the next level
even in 2k 1440 is nicer. Mine can go to 3k but games start to run poorer and really the monitor is best suited for 2k 1440. But it seems to me any option that is 1440 is just superior and I see no benefit either in going higher as I never noticed a difference. Now I can run games at 2k 1440 144fps and they look amazing.
i have had a 240hz monitor for about a year and the game just looks more in focus and so smooth. I recently bought a 360hz monitor and i could feel a difference but it is small and i do not recommend it if you are on a budget
got this video reccomended to me. just for fun i checked if my refresh rate was set to 144hz as usual and it turns out it got reset to 60hz. i always thought it was lag that made my game so unsmooth. now it feels so much better. THANK YOU
I just came across your videos and they are good and informative today, so I sub to your channel. I recently bought the Samsung 49" Odyssey Neo G9 Gaming DQHD Quantum Mini-LED Monitor, and I am very happy with it so far.
First I love the videos & content. Has definitely helped my knowledge and direction of decisions in the past, so thank you. Secondly, I was wondering if you could do a video soon on someone who will be building a new gaming PC at the beginning of 2022 and what they should consider when doing so. I was originally planning on the i5-11600K/400F paired with a B560 MB but because I am catching the tail end of the 11th gen processors and wanting/needing to build PC now I am trying to decide if I should shift towards a 12th gen i5/i7 & wait until the B660 MBs release. I am trying to somewhat future proof my new build and just don't want to be screwed & limited with my upgraded choices or anything say 2-3yrs down the line. Thanks!
I'm happy with 60fps at 4k
Same here. I game on a 55in 4k tv and 99% of the games I play on PC are single player.
dude that’s amazing
I'm happy with 30fps at 720
it does look good as I did run my PC on a 44'' 4K. just it is far too large for my tiny apartment, can't place it far enough away from my desk.
In my country 4k 120 fps screens cost about 3x the price of ps5, that is why I'm not buying ps5 since gaming tv is way out of my budget
I'm late but I like how you mentioned the differences between the feel of keyboard and mouse and controller. I know some people swear by keyboard and mouse but in a lot of competitive multiplayer titles nowadays with how strong aim assist is you're not really in for a big disadvantage. I've put extensive time into both input in Apex Legends and if I ever had to go back to my stuttery 1060 PC on 75hz, I would play controller. You really feel any sort of small hitch when you're aiming on MnK but it's not as big of a deal on controller.
PC players have an overwhelming advantage. There is a reason these guys play on 15K computers compared to a $500 console
Bro, are you the him? The myth, the legend I grew up hearing stories about? The infamous controller player with a brain? Fr tho, I too was so happy to hear him mention the differences between knm and controller when it comes to these things, especially as you say with modern FPS games. With games like apex and fortnite, I agree completely controller is the way to go on low frame rates, anything below 144 on a mouse feels honestly choppy by comparison, although at high fps I would take knm personally. Then when you have games like COD come in and putting apex's aim assist to shame there is just no reason to play knm fullstop anymore. 100% would have swore by knm say 4-5 years ago (I have ~10 years and ~10000+ hours on knm), quite frankly you would be a fool to play any crossplatform game on controller, whereas now all of a sudden there has been a complete flip and aim assist has become borderline aim bot in games like COD and halo. You would be insane to stay on knm now, unless you already had 1000s of hours invested or were the 1/1000 people who can afford a top of the line PC and monitor.
Your channel is awesome, whenever I'm think of buying a new monitor you come and save my life, when I wanted to increase storage for the PS5, you make a video about it and I've got the 980 Pro 2TB with heatsink! So I got super lucky, and some months ago I was planning to buy an RTX 2080 (used), you come and save my life with the RTX 3060 Ti!!
informative and entertaining! hehe :) need to watch more of your vids :)
I think stable Frametime is also as important as Fps and Resolution
I love playing games at 144hz but in reality I would be fine if I never got to play above 72hz again. I had a 60hz monitor back in the day that I could OC to 72hz. 60hz felt nice but also felt a tad slow. The extra 12hz I could squeeze out made a huge difference and I'd be fine with it forever.
Lmao not me I can’t go back after playing 240hz it would feel so slow
@@jesusjr5364 I wouldn't want to go back either but if I could maintain a rock solid 72hz with high settings I would still be a very happy PC gamer. Now if I had to go back to 60hz I'd be upset. It's strange but that 12hz/20% bump up from 60hz made a big difference.
im using a 75hz monitor
@@toromaru0912 I OCed mine 60 hz to 75 hz lol
@@Jordan_offline_ bought a 144hz today
I personally dont really care about refresh rate as long as it is above 80hz i have been playing on 144hz for a while now but for me its not really a special thing to game at high refresh rates im more into resolution and color range, ive ordered a VR headset with true to life level clarity and near true to life colors with a QLED mini led display and im looking forward to try it out :)
Well, one thing should be mentioned: even if game cannot pump those fpses, an 100+ Hz monitor is still good. Just the fact that, whenever a frame has finished rendering, it can take up to 16ms (60Hz) or 7.8ms (144Hz) to be fully displayed makes a big difference. I will take 52fps on 144Hz anytime over 60Hz.
When I first got an 144Hz monitor, I was playing American Truck Simulator, and was "admiring" the camera controls. When I glanced on fps counter, I noticed it was sometimes in the 70-80 range, but I never noticed stuttering, which I did notice on 60Hz refresh rate. Also tearing is less noticeable because 1 tear will not stay more than 8ms on screen, as opposed to 16ms.
Now I'm on a 240Hz monitor, but I don't really notice any difference to 144Hz. If there was some tangible benefit, the screen characteristics (color, brightness, etc) might have distracted my brain for a fair comparison.
So if I have a series x playing at 120 FPS I should put my monitor on 144 hz and not 120hz. I’ve been trying to find the answer to this online for like an hour lol. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
@@braedonlock3359 Your monitor just has a max refresh. You device (PC/console) drives the refresh, with input from monitor of it's range. An 144Hz monitor will work with 60Hz, 120Hz and 144Hz signals. And, as I know, no console can output 144Hz. All are limited to 120Hz.
My point was about GPU rendering and that 144Hz is smoother. But 144 vs 120 is negligible. The timing is 8.3ms vs 7.8ms. Very small compared to 16ms of 60Hz.
Edit: if a 144Hz monitor has a "144" option, that is for compatibility in case other devices can't handle anything above 60. That option should always be enabled unless you have an old device that won't work otherwise. It won't do 144 for a device that can't output 144.
@@mateiberatco500 so long story short if im not pushing 144 FPS on 144hz. Im not getting benefits from 144hz at 120 FPS. So I should just set it back to 120hz?
I misunderstood when you said if you’re not hitting the FPses.
@@braedonlock3359 Oh....got it. No. The point was that you can benefit of 144Hz monitors even if your GPU can't render more than 60fps (i.e.: "enough" for a 60 monitor). And by 144 I mean anything over 100.
As I know, consoles (at least PS5) don't support 144Hz, just 120Hz. So games are made for max 120fps (limited at least by VSync).
So if you need to chose between 120 and 144, I really can't say. I prefer 120 due to being a multiple of 30/60 and "i think" is better for capture. But other than that, I just set the max.
@@mateiberatco500 my monitor can be set to 120 or 144hz. But only in 144hz can i turn response time to faster with motion blur.
So using 144hz but only getting 120 FPS won’t mess with anything right? So i can keep on motion blur reduction.
Amazing video brother. Liked and subbed. Thanks
There is indeed 1 monitor that ticks all the boxes except for the price. The Samsung Odyssey G7 32 inch. 240hz, 1ms, 1440p, curved. Its an amazing screen.
Got a VG27AQ1A for 375 canadian. Seems good enough for a 3070 on a 5900x b550-xe. Great price and will be worth it for a while still. Untill 4k is everywhere for decent prices. Great vids btw and keep it up.
I got myself an Asus Monitor VG27AQ
165hz with G Sync and Freesync i have been loving it for me IMO 2k gaming with 144hz monitor is the sweet spot
I play on my MSI 32inch curved gaming monitor at 165hz at 1080p, I’ve upgraded from a traditional 60hz to this machine and I haven’t looked back. It just feels so smooth when gaming with this monitor with a rtx 3070ti.
3070ti and 1080p man buy yourself atleast 1440p monitor
@@JOONA5 there’s no point upgrading to 2k as you would barely notice a difference. 4K, yes but 2K, bad idea.
@@the_rc_addict7209 Stop telling people this.
@@N7-ElusiveOne why? do you sell 2k monitors is that the very reason. I wouldn't go for a 1440p monitor at this point as i see it pointless from my own perspective with the set up i have
G32C4? it is a great display for a decent price.
Currently playing on 165hz 1440p. Right in the middle in terms of resolution, fps and cost. Perfect balance for me
Thanks for all you do!
Wow this really helped me! Thx Scott the Woz
There's also other lesser mentione downsides to high refresh rate displays with very fast average pixel response times: Low framerate content looks incredibly bad due to the pixels refreshing much sooner than the framerate. On a 160Hz display it'll completely update its pixels every 6ms or so. For 30 fps content, that means there's a huge 27ms gap of time before the next frame appears, and it also gets thrown up in 6ms. This abrupt, high speed pixel shift between frames leads to a stuttering appearance.
That said, that's a very minor negative to an otherwise excellent PC browing and gaming experiencing.
how the hell you know that
@@floorman12 This has been known for some time, man. There's even videos on it. The oversimplified version is that OLED screens are so fast slower framerate content isn't masked like it is on slower response time panels.
I'm mostly a campaign player and new to PC gaming I have a 8G RTX 3070 TI , Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB Ram & Samsung odyssey g7 32" 240Hz
I like to have my quality up highest at 1440p depending on the game I'm happy with 60fps +
Great video BTW you have a sub 👍
What a waste of money, for only 500 bucks you could play 60 fps on 4k
@@promo130 you'll also be lucky since getting 4k and 60fps at the same time on consoles can also be rare, I get 60fpsPLUS as mentioned above, and by using DLDSR I can trick my pc/monitor in believing its 2160p (4k) which means clear resolution.
Take dying light 2 for example on console at 60fps 1080p (awful) I'm getting 100fps DLDSR (4K) everything maxed out with RTX......
And I can get frames from 60 to all the way to 240, consoles can ONLY goto 120...but even that is more extreme rare.
So basically nah you don't know what talking about.
I also kept my PS5....
When at launch I purchased Control ultimate edition for £35 just to try RTX, but at the cost of 30fps only.
Got the same game on PC cost me 49p 😲 from cd keys, RTX on 120-130fps............
So you wanna tell me how it's a waste of money again ?
Going from being capped at 60 fps on my ps5 for apex to building my first pc (ryzen 5 RX 6700xt) with a 1080p 165 hz monitor and capping my fps for apex at 165 is a hugeee step up. My computer can prob sit comfortably around 200 fps+ but idk if it is worth upgrading the monitor to a 244 hz.

I am using an AOC 27” 2560x1440 monitor with a refresh rate of 144hz. It’s a great monitor, especially for the $250 I paid for it earlier this year.
It was informative but i was laughing hard af, " you get your ass whoop boy" lol
Thank this has been most informative I’m definitely gonna buy 120hz tv for cod
My main monitor is 1440P 170Hz. Most of the time I crank up the graphics to hit around 120 FPS. That’s the sweet spot for single player controller games in my opinion. RDR2 most of the time.
I can finally have a say in this debate. I've only ever known 30/60fps and the odd 90hz on a quest2. I just got a q7 from Samsung and initially I couldn't see the fuss. Then I set it up properly and just moving the mouse was an experience. I played a few games of tarkov at 144 and my god I wasn't prepared for just how smooth games could be. I generally believe after a few hours that 240 is nice but hardly noticeable to me atleast. I think the leap from 60 to 120 feels quiet smooth but 140 is the sweet spot for me u feel it over 120 its crazy to me. I guess game to game might be different. But generally speaking high fps is a huge huge huge game changer for me.
I miss my old CRT screen from the Quake and Unreal Tournament days
I havent been gaming for the past several years but I just bought myself a new gaming laptop. My last gaming pc was a custom mid-high tier desktop with Amd hd 7870, Amd fx-4170, 8Gb ram, 500gb HDD, 256gb ssd which was built 11 years ago.
Now I have a laptop asus rog zephyrus m16 with Intel i9 13900H and RTX 4070, 16 gb ram (soon to be upgraded to 32gb), 3TB storage (1tb stock ssd + 2TB samsung 990 pro).
My laptop qualifies as high end tier laptop but definitely not the highest.
Back 10-11 years ago, i noticed that 45 fps provided a noticeable jump over 30 fps and my bare minimum for gaming was 45 fps especially during online more competitive play. 60 fps was what i always shot for though as it provided a noticeable difference to 45fps. Since my gaming monitor was only rated to 60 Hz, 60 fps was all I needed to shoot for and it was great when i was getting consistent 60fps. No complaints.
Now my laptop has 240Hz refresh rate. I have strong doubts that I will notice anything more than 120fps. I believe 120fps probably doesnt offer much of an upgrade over 70-80fps anyways. I'm sure those ultra competitive CS GO players notice the different between 120fps and 240fps though! Couldnt tell you how much though.
Hey, PC Centric what is you’re recommended edition of windows 10/11
For drone racing, swithching ftom 60hz to 144hz my my times instantly improved by 10%. Moving from 144hz to 240hz times improved by around 2.5%.
I have a 1440p 144hz monitor that I usually play games at 1080p much fun to play
There is also the fact that higher FPS also generates more heat.
I’m making the transition from Console to PC but also do graphic design…. Therefore I want a 1440p or higher, 120hz or higher and true colour for graphic work…. Probably an IPS but not sure. What’s your thoughts? I’m also doing a all white build setup but can probably skin the edge of needs be.
A silly question, where did you get and which one is the 12pin sleeved cable you have in your rtx 3080 ti? Thank you.
Looking to buy a pc coming from a ps5 I only have a 120hz 1080p monitor so what sort of pc build would I need to achieve that on warzone. Or would you recommend spending a bit extra and having it ready for when I get a 1440p or higher refresh rate monitor. Currently on a 27inch monitor
Like you, i play Apex Legends. I recently upgraded my pc and monitor to a 1440p 165hz and i will never play any game below 60fps again. I found that its best to select your monitor first, then upgrading your computer to match it. I can recommend Dell S2721DGFA monitor to anyone. Good value for money
Just a question have you ever done a giveaway?
I have a 1440p 144 Hz gaming monitor using an RTX 3060 as my GPU. But I always find myself downscaling my games to 1080p to at least hit 120 fps. Some games I’ll play on 1440p, but that’s if the devs optimized the game to be at least playable.🤦🏻♂️
Could you make a video about best 1440p 144hz monitors.
I play series x at 1080p but can't decide if I should buy a 4k monitor or change to a pc and 1440p monitor I pretty much only play warzone these days what's your opinion?
I have a 7900xt attached to a LG C1. I run anywhere from 80-120fps at 4k and will adjust settings if I drop below 80fps.
In saying that, I have no problem with these new consoles. I have a PS5 and still play COD on it at 120fps alongside my PC. Besides a slightly less sharp picture, I don't see it as a disadvantage and feel these consoles are really solid value.
Thank you for clearing that up - 120FPS is more than enough for me. Great video...great presentation style.
Love how most people assume that you to need support fast frame rates for gaming, well only really applicable for First Perspn perspective games, yet so many more genres out there don't need or require it. They only thing I really want greater FPS is watching sport on TV! Eff 25/30fps
I have a 240hz screen but In single player games I crank my settings to the max without checking fps, and enjoy the game rather than sweating fps :)
thanks friend, good food for thought
So I've got a Samsung Odessey G7 monitor (not the curved one - the hmdi 2.1 one) and an xbox series x. I have a 2.1 HMDI cable and my settings on my xbox are 4k 120fps....so am I not getting that full experience? Because by the sounds of it, to get that on a PC would cost a fair whack? Much more than my series x cost by all accounts haha
This has nothing to do with this video but I’m building my first pc and thinking of having two m.2 ssd’s and one hdd. The motherboard I have is a MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI (and the ssd’s are both WD SN550) will this work? I already have one of the ssd’s but only 250GB so thinking of getting another 1TB. Would really appreciate an answer🙏
I'm looking for a 24" 1080p 240hz monitor. Any recommendations? I've been finding monitor for days (;O;)
i just had my 1080p 165hz 1ms response-time Aorus monitor (cv27f) setup but i think i made a wrong choice, could have i gotten a better monitor for same price?
In 1998, I started playing Quake on the Sony G400 @120hz, and by 2001 the systems were capable of 120fps/120hz in Quake3. I have not played PC games since then at less than 120hz/120fps.
I have been playing games for ages and ever since I upgraded from 60 to 144 then to 240 I would say 144 is the best for any one who wants to game. If your wanting esports or what ever then 240 or 360 is obviously the best choice
im currently using a 75hz monitor and planning to upgrade. is it worth it to go for 240hz instead of 144hz? is there any significant difference that you see.
Can you please make an video on "How to optimize Rtx 3060ti Gaming PC for the performce like Xbox series x (4k 120 FPS)" please
I got a 32'' 1080P 165HZ display. mostly only play ESO, so higher refresh rate does not matter much as the game is capped at 100.
On my monitor I’m on 4k/60hz.
But on my lg tv I’ll get 4k 120hz with all the bells and whistles.
My 3080ti hasn’t faltered on anything as yet.
But would like a 4k 120hz monitor too but they are pricey.
I don’t know how noticeable a 1440p screen would be versus 4k at 27”.
I've basically been gaming on consoles all my life, so I'm very used to 30fps. I wouldn't say 30fps is unplayable, but seeing games run at 60fps is still a huge step up for me, personally.
Go to xbox series s. 120fps at only like $250
Hi ya I have a XB271HUA running at 165hz 1440p with i7 6700k and gtx 1080 8gb. And 16gb of ram. What should I do to get the best out of this! Please and thank you 😉👍

saaaaame - switched my main monitor to a TUF Asus IPS 1440p 165hz 27" screen to play soloq Apex primarily at 120fps & the difference from 1080p 240 hz visually was better imo. I've enjoyed the game environment and other details more than ever. other games too just looks way better. 1080p 240hz Apex for me was great but at my level(plat to d4) the difference was not really noticeable nor did it impact my gameplay? My setup now for 2 years is a 27" 165hz 1440p & then a 2nd 27" monitor for browsing/media consumption at 4k 60hz and it's been waay more enjoyable during the pandemic
ultimately, i just wanna have fun gaming and a fps at 120hz above has diminishing returns for a casual gamer like me
@@jabel242 yeah I have somewhat similar scenario. Been playing at 1440p 27" 240hz for about year (1080p 24" 280hz and 1440p 27" 165hz prior) but just got a 28" 4k 144hz to maximize my 6900xt and the image fidelity increase has really wowed me vs the higher frames at 1440p. After playing 4k is hard to go back to 1440p lol.
Depends on the games that you play. You definitelly upgraded for story games, because 1440p looks a lot better than 1080p and you don't need extreme high frame rates to enjoy story games. For multiplayer games, you downgraded, because for multiplayer frame rate is much more important than resolution.
Me who plays on 720p30: okay 🥲
New to this..will a pc monitor for my laptop increase the framerate of the laptop games I play?
Hey pc centric I am think to getting/building a and I want to know what to do.
If I buy one I don’t want one for more then 1000 but I really want to builed it so what do I do
What is that desktop wallpaper you have on the pc behind you ?
What hz do you recommend for a 2nd monitor ( I won’t be playing games on it)
PC Centric hi bro what is your game pad model
whats the space game u played it looks fun
I notice your new pc in the background. When will the video come out?
That's my current one actually! New one is Jan project :)
where did you get your desktop wallpaper?
I'm looking to buy a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 32GB Ram 3600 and a 3060ti what motherboard should I look for? that can handle the CPU and ram>?
I am fine with 60-100 fps/hz from I first started PC gaming in 1996 until now. I have a 13900K + 4090 + 3440x1440 ultrawide running at 100hz. If the framerate shows 200+ it doesn't mean I would prefer a 144/240hz monitor. It simply means that huge allowance of spare framerates would translate to the prolonged longevity of my PC gaming system. And true to expectations, I normally upgrade my gaming PC every 4.5-5 years although I will upgrade the GPU twice within that timeframe. I play mainly FPS but I'm not a professional eSport FPS competitive gamer so to me I can't see the difference between 100fps and 240fps. The tendency is for technology to evolve and get faster/better/bigger but there is a point of diminishing returns.. cough - 8K - cough - 540hz cough - 53" monitors. Just because you can doesn't mean its necessary for the best gaming performance.
i think one of the reasons that sometimes a lower hz display is better is because if the displays shows to many frames in too little time, your eye can't analyse the images anymore and you just can't focus
Then you obviously never tried 120 fps. Stick with your dad's pc and keep quiet.
Lol What Is The FPS Of Reality? Have You Ever Played A Single Sport In Your Life?
Just a question: Is buying a prebuilt PC worth it if it Is £1100 with an i5, RTX 3060 Ti 8GB, 16GB ram, 240GB SSD, 1TB hard drive, Windows 10 and WiFi?
I'm getting distracted by your ram lightshow, had to rewind few times :D
What the first game you played? Abt 15 sec in?
Using an Lenovo 27 IPS 165hz refresh rate paired with my RTX 3070, not bad
The Acer Nitro 1440P 144Hz 1Ms 27 inch Monitor is a great monitor
Could you do a build for escape from tarkov?
I need a 360Hz monitor for playing the original Sim City in DOSBox.
It’s crazy how many people with the new consoles ran out to get HDMI 2.1 TV’s even though like half the games available to play right now don’t allow for you to play at 120hz. 4K 60 is what you wanna stick to if your a console person right now. Then in PC land you have people using the lowest graphics settings possible to get higher fps. At that point the game just looks straight ugly.
Can you help i am a old boy so don't know much. I have a 10 year old pc at the time it was high end it's liquid cooled not by water
what i dont know has brass pipes coming from the cpu to the mother board to a tiny little fan it's a intel DDR 3 mother board with a i7 920 cpu. Not sure what to do a would like a new cpu 10 or 12 gen would this fit if so how do i take off the thing on top of the cpu
The only.two games I play for a year now are val and CSGO, but at the same breath I am not in a high rank but average, should i invest in more than 144 Hz?
I think 1440p 144hz is the sweet spot
180
Nice B&W speakers!
as a hardware-enthusiast, that i am since almost 2 decades rn, im absolutely on your side. wich framerate suits you depends on a variety of factors like you said. BUT i would just like to warn the ppl, that have been on 60 or even 30 Hz for their entire lives untill now. Once you tasted the > 100Hz area for longer than just a glimpse at the monitor of a good friend, there is no way back from that point xD
at least it felt and still feels that way for me. I entered the 144Hz-Zone with my LG-Monitors like 6 or 7 years ago. i cant even handle the desktop-idling on the 60 Hz-settings anymore. i immediatly recognice it when the display is resetted to 60 Hz(happens from time to time on windows.) its already the feel of the coursor moving arround. not even talking about what happens when u fire up a fastpaced game u are used to play in >100Hz(like 4 me RocketLeague) without recognizing that the monitor is resetted to 60 Hz. I absolutely cant stand it and play like sh*t and have to abort the game to resett the monitor.
i think thats a very important factor that needs to be considered. will u have the ability AND money to support the >100Hz or even >200Hz area even in the futere? Because if you get used to it and then HAVE to downgrade, for me it wouldnt be playable anymore.
Couldn’t agree more, I got the LG C1 for my PS5 and I couldn’t go back to 60fps. 120fps plays buttery smooth! Fortnite and Vanguard are a dream to play 👌🏻
As both a pc and console user i gotta say 120fps is the sweet spot, even at 70fps the games are feeling smooth. 120 seems to be prefect, anything after that doesn’t feel different. My Ps5 does feel a bit stiffer at 120fps compared to my pc buts just the difference between mouse and controller.
120 hz refreshrate panels sure were sexy, in 2008, and 13 years later this feature finally became a console thing
at 2:40 whats the size of that monitor? 27 or 32? ty
Im actually not that crazy about high refresh rate monitors. I only have a 75hz monitor, and most of my games I put a fps cap of either 75 or 120, depends on what I play.
Something a lot of people don’t know is that there will always without question be screen tearing/stuttering etc… if you’re frame rate and refresh rate are not exactly the same. Obviously there is gsync, adaptive sync, and vsync to fix that but that’s not why I’m writing this comment. When doing probably a bit too much research to figure out what monitor to buy, I found a thread where in the founder of blur busters mentions that much higher refresh rates than frame rates is quite smooth and that the screen tearing is barely noticeable because the monitor refreshes so quickly. Therefore, if you have a high refresh panel but aren’t hitting those frame rates, you really don’t need to worry about limiting the refresh rate in a lot of cases unless you prefer it that way or it is very noticeable.
so aiming for 60-70 frames on my 120Hz monitor is the way to go right ?
What is better 1440p 165hz or 1080p 240hz, looking for a new monitor but unsure what’s better.
Whats that monitor when you bring up the cost for monitors I want that monitor
LTT did a great video on this topic
Is it only interesting for fast shooters like csgo or what ever? I play games like Death Stranding, F1 Manager 22, Far Cry, Men of War, Tomb Raider.
Will I have a huge benefit from 144hz with 1440p.
Now I have 60hz 1440p and it feels fine.
