60hz monitor at 80ish fps

[adza botchway]

So i have two 60hz monitors and im getting a gtx 970 soon. The card can push far more than 60fps (60hz) on all games. Would it really be beneficial if i got a 120-144hz monitor instead? Or should i use v-sync? Would i get so much screen tearing that no game would even be playable at those kinds of frames? If i were to play bf3/4 on a 60hz monitor with a gtx 970 and i got around 80 fps, would i get a ton of screen tearing?

You'll be just fine on your current screen. At 80FPS you'll notice very minimal (if any) tearing. Not worth going out to buy additional screens just to update your GPU

Sometimes... the best solution is to just go out and gets the parts you want and see for yourself what the results will be.

You will only see 60FPS at maximum on a 60HZ monitor, so V-Sync will remove tearing and won't cap you to anything less than what you can actually see. I've heard that V-Sync causes a slight stutter, maybe you'd want to invest in a G-Sync monitor then? Nvidia has a demo video on their website you can download and see the difference for yourself.

No. no... No..... Im not paying 800 dollars for a g-sync monitor -.- They only put g-snyc in those 800+ dollar asus ROG monitors and they are FARRRR too expensive. And please dont bring "what your eyes can see" into this thread... Your eyes are a constant stream of information to your brain, They can see 900 fps. 10 fps. 60 fps and so on. Its not like your eyes just cannot tell the difference between 60 and 120 fps. 120 FPS will seem much smoother than 60fps, so forth and so on. Go look at linus determining which monitor was 120hz vs 60hz. He got it correct 100% of the time becasue he has trained his eyes to see tiny detail and small movements. Look up "ncixtechtips linus monitor test" on youtube

I think you misunderstood gaveroid he said that you wont see more than 60fps ona 60 hz monitor as it cant display more than 60 fps.You wouldnt get a lot of screan tearing but a 122hz monitor would still be a good idea, i feel like 6 fps is still to little when i play battlefield sometimes.Also v sinc causes input lag so its not a good idea in multiplayer shooters

What would be a good 120hz monitor for about 100 dollars then?

A bit late on replying but I feel I must stand my ground here.

I'm not bringing the "what your eyes can see" argument in, don't pull that on me. What I'm saying is that the MONITOR cannot display any more than 60HZ if it's a 60HZ monitor. That's a fact, not pseudo-science like the whole eye-FPS thing. If you have a 120HZ monitor, you can see up to 120FPS and so on. The HZ is the refresh rate, a.k.a. framerate.

if you play on two monitors that should bring down your fps and battlefield has resolution scaling so oyu can use that to get to 60 fps (i think nvidia has that in drivers so you should be able to do it in any game), howerev a 120/144hz monitor would look a lot smoother
