Are 144hz monitors worth getting if you can't actually run most games at 144 FPS?
>>52060520
No, not at all.
>>52060520
Nope
120-144hz is the golden standard for a reason
I'd rather 60+ FPS 4k gaming than 144+ FPS 1440p gaming
Nah. From my testing it actually makes lower frame rates slightly worse then when playing at 60hz native.
>>52060520
yes
Not only is there a significant competitive advantage it also looks nicer and reduces screen tearing without the horrible lag vsync.
>>52060885
Depends on the game hence why i have both.
its better to be able to play every game at 60fps @ 1080p than going for 144hz
unless your a rich fag and can afford both, if not then the money you will spend on a 144hz monitor spend it on a gpu/cpu
>>52060910
>Not only is there a significant competitive advantage it also looks nicer and reduces screen tearing without the horrible lag vsync.
This is only the case if you have framerates that actually consistently match and/or exceed the 144Hz refresh rate.
>>52061465
Seen some videos of monitors that can match the framerate of the GPU in real time. Not sure how good it is. Amd calls it's free sync or some shit and nvidia calls it gsync.
Any recommendations for 1440p monitors /g/?

Sick lies bro.

Yeah, but that's FreeSync/G-Sync and is a feature that is essentially independent from 120-165Hz refresh rate monitors.
Only get 144 Hz monitor if you are playing (or intend to play) an FPS multiplayer game on a competitive level.
For singleplayer games I'd take a good 60 Hz IPS.
Or if you have a lot of money to spare you can get best of both worlds and buy 144 Hz IPS.
>>52060520
Got an Eizo Foris FS2735. It was a significant upgrade from my Korean OC display @120Hz.
I don't think displays can go much further though, as far as reaction times go. It's pretty damn near instant. I noticed I don't even have to lead moving targets are more, and can aim dead on and hit.
>>52061527
>Sick lies bro.
Prove me wrong, faggot. I dare you.
>>52060885
This. Especially when everything's consoleshit so the only way to get it looking decent is to throw resolution at at.
>>52061592
not him but i have 144hz monitor, and it looks better even at 60 fps
>>52061592
Go try it. Use a 60Hz and a 144Hz monitor side buy side, and tell me you don't feel a difference.
If that's true, you should go the 4k road, as it'll benefit you more.
Does 24fps videos look better on a 144hz monitor?
What about 60fps?
Wouldn't 120hz be ideal since you can just directly scale frame duration for most videos?
I wish nvidia weren't faggots and charge so much for gsync. Would make 144hz way more tempting.
>mfw experiencing 120hz for the first time
>>52061652
Freesync solves both of those problems.
>>52061802
what renderer supports freesync?
>>52061652
Depends. 24 divides evenly in to either of course, but 144 is best for 48 media while 120 for 60. It's The Hobbit versus GoPro videos.
>>52060885
I think it depends on the game. Open world games benefit far more from resolution than framerate, while an arena shooter benefits more from image fluidity than higher resolution.
>>52061652
Video renderers are advanced enough for refresh rates to not matter.
Asus MG279Q(free sync) for 510 USD, but I have a 970, is it a good deal?
>>52061897
Can you even get Hobbit in 48fps? I thought you could only see the 48fps version in theatres since the movie was too large for blu-ray discs, so it shipped with 24fps instead.
Just play 2d games and you'll easily reach that target fps.
>>52061592
How about actually using one fagot~

You're all liars. 60fps on this monitor looks no different then when I had my my other two 60hz monitor in a triple setup. I've tested multiple games in a duplicate display scenario and without. 60fps is 60fps.
>>52062547
>duplicate display scenario
Are you retarded?
Duplicating displays forces the same refresh rate. I hope this is a bait.
>>52062565
>with and without
I wanted to see if placing it at 60hz made a difference and it did not. Even with the response time difference being 1ms and the 60hz native monitors being 5ms nothing changed.
>>52062547
>>52062587
Filthy stupid weebs can't see the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz. Wow, what a shocker.

i went for 1440p 60hz over 1080p 144hz
haven't regretted it
i mostly play rpgs anyway and a lot of them don't even function properly over 60fps
>>52062658
SMFC in csgo. I know the difference.
>>52062670
It's a new install and I was testing pale moon because it was recommended in another thread. I know I'm taking the bait, but you 144hz shills are getting away with to much shit.
>>52062658
Semipro weeb NEET gaymer here. My current main GPU is out for RMA. For a few days while i was trying to acquire a backup GPU i was forced to use integrated. Intel 4600 graphics do not support dual link DVI and therefore no 144hz. It was SUFFERING. I picked up a old HD 4890 as a temp GPU and a backup in case this happens again. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad to be back on 144hz.
>>52060520
Only if you watch movies and shows on your PC and want to get rid of 3:2 pulldown jutter.
>>52061592
getting a 144hz or 165hz monitor ensures that you get any bit of quality available above 60fps. even when it's just 75fps, it will look better on the 144hz display compared to the 60hz display for obvious reasons. so what if you can't play all the games at 144fps? 80-100 fps looks great too, on a high refresh rate display
>>52061964
unless you plan to upgrade your graphics card soon, you'll regret you purchase.
OP, I have a spare 120hz monitor. Bought a 60hz one thinking exactly that "ah, who cares, let's just get a good 60hz monitor instead".
Now I can't play without using vsync on pretty much anything. On a 120hz monitor, if you're playing a game at less than 60fps without vsync at the very fucking least you don't get as much tearing, it's almost unnoticeable. With a 60hz monitor? Fuck that.

I make money off of it but not enough for it to be my sole source of income. Therefore semipro.
When i am not gaming, watching animu, jacking to loli doujins i am programing or repairing PCs from my apartment as my primary source of income. The work i do is as a contactor so i am technically not employed.

60 or 90hz for the rest where I cant get ~200fps

Yeah, because your desktop and any other application will feel smoother, too.
>>52063670
You have a 144hz monitor that can be overdriven. That's not a 200hz monitor. It is not guaranteed to hit 200hz or even if it does to do so with stability.
>>52063636
It's based in the US for one. So the government can just come in and demand to get their encryption key and keep and see logs.
Startpage/Ixquick are EU based and don't have to comply with american law like that.

144hz is placebo do yourself a flavor and just buy a 21:9 non gsync monitor

The company can just tell them to fuck off.
>Startpage/Ixquick are EU based and don't have to comply with american law like that.
No, they have to comply with EU law. Hmm. I wonder which body of law is less developed and inclined to protect individual privacy, EU or US. I'd say US.
>>52063722
Your attempt to evoke an emotional response is pathetic. About as pathetic as your bullshit claim of a 200hz monitor.
>>52063735
>The company can just tell them to fuck off.
Lol
>EU or US. I'd say US.
Again, lol.
>>52062547
60fps does look different because it's actually 72 or 48 fps because that's how vsync works.
>>52063735
>I'd say US has a longer history of legal case law that protects individual rights (including considering corporations as individuals that are due rights like the right to religious freedom).

No. It is not a 200hz monitor because ACER said so. That's why the fact that being able to hit 200hz is not guaranteed.

Only with some strobing tech (ULMB, Lightboost) and if you can hit the refresh rate.
Otherwise, no.
>>52063817
Lucky you. Doesn't change the fact that you bought a 144hz monitor with overdrive unlocked. That's like claiming you bought a Ferrari because you can tune your Toyota to hit Ferrari speeds.
>>52063814

This is a bad thing too?
>>52063855
Yes to both of them. You don't pay for duckduckgo so them making code non-free is suspicious behaviour. If they have nothing to hide they would allow you to see and modify the code.
>>52063931
>You don't pay for duckduckgo so them making code non-free is suspicious behaviour.
They provide a free service that functions on not selling your information and you find it suspicious that they use their own technology rather than Google's or Apples or Microsoft's or some other country that does just that?
>If they have nothing to hide they would allow you to see and modify the code.
I wonder if there might be other services they provide other than web searches that they might want to sell to others which functions upon privacy . . .
>>52063959
How do you know they don't sell your data if you are not allowed to audit their code? Searx.me is better anyway.
>>52064004
>How do you know they don't sell your data if you are not allowed to audit their code?
Watchdog groups like web to trust, (funnily enough) Google, etc. that judge reliability on indicators. For example see: http://www.scamvoid.com/check/duckduckgo.com
It seems when you cannot argue with what was present you fall back to fear mongering.
>>52062587
>1ms
>60Hz
60Hz=16ms.
"1ms" monitors claim to be 1ms but they only get that during grey-to-grey.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/vg248qe-144hz-gaming-monitor,3609-9.html
In best case scenario it is actually 7ms.
>>52064057
Stop making stuff like this personal. There is no reason to trust code you can't audit and the alternatives are better.
>>52064093
>Stop making stuff like this personal.
Do not provide me the opportunity to point a poor use of logic and I won't point out a poor use of logic.
>There is no reason to trust code you can't audit
There is plenty of reason to trust code that conducts itself as reliable, effective, and faithful to its claims for years and years. Just because you don't trust it does not mean that there is no reason to trust it. You just don't want to, probably because of some confirmation bias.
>>52063670
>2560x1080

Even a shitty 120Hz TN for $50 is better than your Taiwanese crap.
ok ok guys its obvious that in a vacum 144hz is better than 60hz
but what if your budget only allows for either a 144hz TN panel or a 60hz IPS panel?
specifically for mmos\open world where you can easily reach the 144 frames by the visual quality of the world is a big part of the game?
>>52064936
You're trading image quality for fluidity in that case. It's really up to the user, I'd choose the IPS for RPGs and such.
