Hi, in the coming months, I will (hopefully) be upgrading my monitor. I was looking at some 144hz monitors, but they seem rather expensive, so what if I go with a 120hz monitor instead?

Whats the difference, price and quality?

Thank you!

What is your GPU at the moment?

144hz vs 120hz? Almost no difference in performance.
I would rather go for a 120hz with 1ms response time, good colors, etc; rather than a 144hz mediocre one especially if the 144hz is more expensive.
 


I've got a Nvidia 670 MSI
 


Honestly do you need something more than a 75hz for a GPU like that? It probably can't even hit 100fps on a lot of modern games.
 


I hit 80-90fps on some games (I've got an i5-4690 ruuning at 3.5GHz). I've noticed some tearing while I play DiRT rally, Next car game, Projects cars etc.
 


Honestly i would recommend an upgrade to atleast a R9 390X or GTX 980 before even considering a 120hz+ monitor
 

Ah okay. Thanks for the help dude.

Any recommendations on what to do about the noticeable tearing when playing games?
 


Start a new thread on it, i'm sure some Video Gaming Expert will help you ^^.
