I wasn't expecting 144Hz to have any impact
I recently purchased a Swift about two to three months ago and I really enjoy it. It's super appealing, large, clean—almost ideal. I mainly play Titanfall and don’t play often, so I chose to sell it locally and used my 1440p 60Hz Dell screen. HOLY SHIT never again. While it wasn’t unplayable, the big jump from 144 FPS to peak 60 FPS really shook me. Luckily I managed to get my display back without any trouble. To anyone thinking about a 144Hz screen who’s unsure and budget is tight… listen up.
I chose 1440p at 144Hz because it offers a smoother experience for FPS games. My Asus ROG Swift delivers great performance, making it worth every investment.
I lock my FPS to 60 using rivatuner from the standard 140fps setting. On gsync this causes noticeable input lag, which isn't ideal. The minimum I comfortably handle is around 90fps. It's interesting how new PC users and casual players often assume 30fps works, but as they play longer, their preferred minimum gradually increases.
Great news, I placed the Asus vg248qe on Friday and it should arrive by Tuesday. I plan to play a lot of Insurgency then, so I’m excited about it.
Tried it for the first time—great to know the details! The contrast between my monitor at 60 Hz and my laptop at 75 Hz is clear. I’m sure 144 Hz will feel different too.
He told me it didn’t matter if there was a difference before or after. I believe it only becomes noticeable after some use and getting used to 144. The impact also varies with the games you play. I think 60 frames per second works better on Xbox than on PC. Playing intense games like Titanfall makes 60 FPS feel unstable. I was planning to buy an Acer Predator IPS display, but I don’t mind the company’s support issues or the hype around IPS. Gloss? Not working. Fail, Acer... fail.
