60hz or 144hz?

[sebase2001]

I just bought a 144hz monitor since i here they were good for gaming. I have a 1060 3gb, ryzen 1500, 8 gb ram. Unfortunately my display isn’t good and I get a lot of dips and drops in fps in Fortnite for example. It looks really choppy with screen tearing and all even though it shows that it is 144fps. Also what should my fps range be to use this monitor... (ASUS VG248QE 24" Full HD 144Hz DVI HDMI DP Gaming LED Monitor)

I’m new at pc gaming still so hep will be appreciated.

If it’s not worth keeping the monitor than what would you recommend? I can get 60fps on mostly all comp. games like oW and Fortnite.
