refresh rate

Hi, I recently just purchased a Razer Blade 14 2021 (RTX 3060 Base Model) and I noticed that it runs at 144Hz, but in games, it's capped at 60. Like, whenever I enter a game, it automatically goes into Windows settings and changes the display refresh rate from 144 to 60 and doesn't change back...

If I have a 144hz refresh rate monitor, does it mean that I need to output 144 FPS in all of the games that I play in order to fully utilize and take advantage of the 144hz refresh rate? If the FPS I'm getting in all of my games are below 144 FPS does that mean that I am not able to take...

Will an RTX 2070 get the same frame rates on a 27" 1440p 144hz screen as it would get on a 32" 1440p 144hz screen, just with less pixel density? or does the increased real estate of screen surface area (+5") cost me some framerates? Hypothetically speaking, other than size, they are identical...

Hey all, I recently bought a 240hz monitor (asus gaming vg279qm), but it's a bit overkill for my system. I bought it as it was on sale at a local store, and was a 1-day return - so I got about $150 off the RRP. I'm running a: ryzen 5 3600, RTX 2060, 16gb DDR4 RAM, and so on. My question: if...
