Seeking titles that maintain smooth performance at 144 frames per second?
I checked the market for monitor prices recently and noticed 144hz displays are becoming more accessible, moving beyond just niche uses. When reviewing my own collection, I questioned whether purchasing one would be worthwhile given my limited game library—especially since many titles don’t support that refresh rate even with powerful GPUs. Considering recent releases, I wondered if most games run smoothly at 144hz or if it’s mainly for competitive titles like CS:GO and Overwatch. I’m curious if there’s a list of games that reveal their maximum framerates or recommendations for monitors that perform best with high refresh rates. For my experience, I play many RTS games, which are often capped at 30 or 60fps, so a higher refresh monitor might not be necessary. TLDR: What games truly benefit from high-refresh-rate displays?
i’ve played many pc games, most of them have adjustable frame rates. Depending on your computer’s specs, you can often run games at higher refresh rates. I usually prefer medium or high settings so I can enjoy smoother visuals, even if the monitor supports 144 fps. Just because a game looks great on a 60Hz screen doesn’t mean it’ll be better than a 120Hz one—higher refresh rates can really boost performance when certain games are locked to specific frame rates. You can usually adjust the FPS in the in-game console or through the game file itself.
I didn't see any lock-up at 60 frames when using Control with RTX active (though I might be mistaken since I was close to the release). Most games that have RTX enabled probably won't reach 144fps unless you're on a 2080 Ti model.
You haven't tried a game capped at 60 FPS before, have you? It's possible the issue stems from V-SYNC affecting performance.
