In order to see and feel 60fps in a game, I can get a 60hz monitor but can i get say 100fps on a 60hz monitor with FEELING and SEEING IT SAY i am over 100 fps on fraps or do i need a 120hz monitor so i can get over 60fps?

Thanks

^Absolutely.

The point is visibile difference!

There will be no visibile difference on a 60Hz monitor if you are having 60~100 or beyond fps.

To feel a difference, get a 120Hz monitor.

To get 100FPS you would need a 120Hz monitor, most people cannot tell the difference between 60FPS and 100FPS, but some people may notice a small difference, it is personal preference, if you can find a good deal on a 120Hz/144Hz monitor go for it. If not a nice 60Hz monitor would be fine

The other 2 say you cant...now who is right? You guys should all have the same answer

You are both right. His system will happily run at over 60fps but a 60Hz can only present him with 60 pictures a second so there would be no visible difference

If you open up FRAPS or something similar it may say you are running your game above 60fps but you won't be able to see this difference unless your monitors refresh rate is above that number.

yes. Just proving my brother wrong.

Someone send me a link to a good 120hz monitor...not expensive.

Generally speaking, at 1920x1080 your 280X isn't going to go above 60fps on that many titles (assuming you are playing them at High/Ultra settings) so personally I wouldn't bother forking out the extra money on a 120Hz monitor when you will really likely see very little benefit from it, especially in the future as your card ages and games become more graphically demanding.

Now, if you were to decide to CrossFire your GPU and run two 280Xs you would definitely get well over 60fps on current titles and may notice the benefit of the 120Hz monitor

Think of it like this:

Your GPU can render 100 picture frames per second. Your monitor can show you 60 of those 100 frames per second. You will see what the monitor shows you, which is 60 frames per second (which is also called hertz).

Though having more FPS is nice, usually you don't need more than your monitor's refresh rate. One point however is to make sure your GPU is powerful enough to show you those frames without stuttering, lagging, or having fps drops below your refresh rate. AKA if you go into a gaming spot that has a ton of stuff on the screen and you see the lag, it's probably from your GPU going down to a lower FPS than the monitor, which is why it won't match up in timings and will appear to lag or stutter.

Over 60FPS on games like War Thunder, but not like BF4, probably about 60FPS on BF4

warthunder? All i need is 60Fps for that...i can smash that. So either will it will be capped up to 60 which is fine. But BF4 i know i wont go over 60 AT ALL TIMES but im sure i will at one point...i just dont want to be limited you know?
