I don't have access to real-time information about your monitor's refresh rate. You can check it by looking at the settings menu on your device or using a monitoring tool.

The video quality might be affected by improper frame rate timing. Even at 165fps, inconsistencies in frame pacing can cause jerky motion, making it appear unprofessional despite the high frame rate.

@hippopotumus582 Yeah, I didn't see that. Well if your monitors refresh rate is 165, then all you have to do is cap the frame rate at 165 fps, problem solved. Exceeding the refresh rate will only cause you problems.

Also worth noting is how inefficient it is—burning extra GPU and CPU cycles while consuming more power and generating more heat without any real benefit. It's best to avoid reaching 100% utilization, since that can lead to frame-rate problems.

Absolutely, you're keen to keep the CPU usage well below 100%. The moment I reach that level, I'll think about upgrading to a faster processor.

I just adjusted the priority for all my games to 'above normal' to ensure they get the attention they require. I use a tool named 'Process Lasso' that stores the settings so I don’t have to restart it repeatedly. Setting it to 'high' would be beneficial, but I believe 'above normal' is sufficient in terms of resource allocation.

Boost your frame rate with MSI Afterburner Riva Tuner at a reduced refresh rate. This keeps you within the G-Sync/Freesync limits. Extra frames don’t always mean better performance unless you’re using tearing for faster response. For the most fluid visuals, stick to nearly the maximum refresh rate and enjoy the results.

VSYNC is designed to manage that issue. I recall reading about NVIDIA updating its version with G-Sync, which mainly focuses on avoiding exceeding your monitor’s maximum refresh rate.

V Sync offers a unique solution that shouldn't be chosen when Freesync or G-Sync are available. When V-Sync is enabled, maintaining over 144 fps consistently is essential for stable 144 fps performance. Even with this setup, input lag can increase. If you ever fall below 144 fps—even slightly—you risk frame doubling and stuttering. To fit 140 fps into a 144-frame window, you'd need to double four frames, creating noticeable stutters. With G-Sync or Freesync enabled and your FPS capped at 142, the system remains stable, delivering smooth visuals with no lag. This approach is accurate and avoids common misconceptions.
