Seeking titles that maintain smooth performance at 144 frames per second?
Thanks for your feedback! It seems you prefer manual V-sync control and enjoy older titles with limited frame rate settings. For games like Splinter Cell or AoE2HD, sticking to 60fps often works well. A higher refresh rate monitor can still improve your experience even in non-competitive games. That makes sense!
Some categories display 30fps locked titles while others don't.
You have to go into the config files and do some tiny tweaks. Most do. Depends on the game, your CPU and your RAM. Older or less demanding games you can get above 60, easy. This is one of the best reasons to own a 144 fps monitor. I really enjoy playing old console games above 100 fps. It basically brings them back from the dead. This is one of the few games that can be tough to unlock that 100 fps lock. Fortunately, you don't exactly need more than 100 fps in that particular game. You can definitely unlock that 60 fps lock in AoE2HD. When games have no options to unlock fps in the game itself, you have to do a little bit of research for if it's possible to unlock the fps in that particular game. That's correct if you play a lot of older/less demanding games. If you haven't done so yet, put League of Legends on your PC asap, get you a 144 fps monitor and have yourself a happy new year in September.
I understand now that I was unaware of details beyond 60Hz and didn’t feel the urge to explore further. Recently I realized technical specifics about monitors are worth investigating. I’ll learn more next time I purchase one, thanks to everyone’s input in the discussion. But honestly, I’m not planning to dive into 75Hz monitors just yet. Are they worth it? In my budget, they’re comparable to 5ms response times in standard 1080p IPS screens and full-featured low-latency models—around 144Hz.
Why did you play it? I missed it for years. I picked it up in 2019 and was hooked right away. For so long I didn’t understand what it was about. I assumed it was just a kids’ game. I was completely wrong. It features some of the sharpest and most clever players to challenge top-tier competitors. The variety of strategies you can use is unmatched in video games. Over 150 characters each bring their own special moves. Worth the investment if you want to tackle tougher games and learn to fine-tune your graphics settings. A frame rate of 75 fps offers a smooth experience, though it doesn’t hit the thrilling 60 fps highs. The real excitement comes around 85-125 fps. Keep FPS under 6 ms for optimal performance. A 5 ms 1080p IPS monitor is great, but a 1 ms display is ideal. Luckily I got a Dell monitor for $100, which has now increased in price. While 4-6 ms is fine, don’t stress about free G-Sync or FreeSync—just use in-game settings or MSI Afterburner to control your frame rate.
Almost all games can be tweaked, try playing Minecraft at 144 fps.
I purchased a 144hz 1440p G-sync display and noticed it didn’t improve my gaming experience. Even with my RTX 2080 ti, achieving more than 144fps wasn’t helping. The main issues came from game physics rather than frame rate. For instance, Metro titles struggled above 120fps, making tight spaces nearly impossible at 144fps. Bethesda games consistently dropped below 60fps. Eventually, I switched back to a 60hz 4k monitor. My son, who plays competitive online games, enjoys it and can run 144+fps thanks to his 2 GTX 1080 Ti and SLI setup. I also bought a 75hz 3840 X 1600 LG monitor, but I didn’t notice any difference compared to 60hz. I use 60hz in HDR titles like ACO, and all my games run smoothly on that system with an overclocked RTX 2080 ti paired with an i7 at 5.1ghz and a 2TB NVMe SSD.
Games typically don't run at a fixed frame rate. Seeing 60 frames per second is usually just because your display is set to 60Hz and Vsync is enabled, which restricts the game to its output capabilities. Using a monitor that supports 144Hz would then allow the game to operate at that higher rate.
Speechless. Your perspective is completely different from mine. I can't revert to 60 fps just to stay alive. Have you ever played competitive games? The performance is a huge improvement. It's hard to understand why this occurs for others. Bethesda titles run smoothly for me at over 100 fps, including Skyrim Special Edition. You might not be familiar with solutions for physics problems.
