Asus PG248Q 144hz

[RavenRM]

Could anybody tell me Why does my asus pg248q display 143.98hz instead of 144hz in games? Its set to 144hz in nvidia control panel even if I overclock the screen to say 160hz it shows 159.98 in Battlefield 4 for example. Please do not tell me thats just the way it is because all my friends 144hz monitors displays 144hz in battlefield 4. Any help would be appreciated.

That is just the way it is. Not all PCs are created equal some have slightly different frequencies.

A common example would be a base clock on the system like 99.97Mhz rather than 100Mhz exactly. When you apply the CPU multiplier of say 40, you get 3998.8Mhz rather than exactly 4Ghz.

Since all the rest of the computers timing will be based on this. The PCIe bus which runs the GPU, the GPU which runs the monitor etc. The reported value may show up like that. Or it could be the crystal on the GPU which is slightly off, doesn't really matter what it is as long as everything keeps the same time so that digital communication is possible.
