I have some issue here. So this is it:
My monitor is 60Hz ( Samsung S24D391 ) It's showing everywhere that is 60Hz, in Nvidia CP, in advanced display settings and some program that i downloaded to try and fix this, but in games i have two resolutions 1920x1080 59Hz, there is no 60Hz option for 1080p. Any solutions to this? I think that this causes some instability with some games, in BF4 my fps are about 77fps and it's kinda laggy, maybe because of this.

When you see 60 it is just 59.94 rounded up(it happens to lineup for video).

If you have lag it is certainly not caused by this.

Can you try vsync to(without it you will have frames replaced before they even fully draw on screen) see if it smooths out the game. Also make sure you are in FULL screen not take full screen(borderless window/maximized full screen/ect) for testing.


I know that, but the problem is, that game is lagging even if there is 77fps and it's not normal that i have 2x 1920x1080 59.94 ( i think) and not single 60Hz option, but it's clearly marked as main HZ.

I'll try few settings. Thanks. Just it's really strange, that i don't have a single 60Hz option, but i have 2x59Hz option for the same resolution.
 
There's no such thing as 60 Hz monitor, it's just rounded up to make it easier for the consumers and producers.

59.94 Hz = 60 Hz
119.88 Hz = 120 Hz
143.856 Hz = 144 Hz

Blu-ray movie:

23.976 Hz * 5 = 119.88 Hz
23.976 Hz * 6 = 143.856 Hz


No such thing as 60, 120, 144 Hz. The reason behind your "lag" (which is your internet connection not FPS), is because of the frame timings in the game you play. If they are inconsistent, you get micro stutter.
