Question Cannot play CS:GO 240hz

[alec935]

I recently bought a PG258Q Asus monitor. It supports 240hz, and I set dektop refresh rate to this value. It works perfectly until I launch CS:GO. Using mat_info, I'm told that CS:GO is still running 144hz (Display mode : 1024 x 768 @144hz (BGRX8888)). VSYNC is off, -freq 240 is in launch options. Why won't 240hz work with CS:GO?

What is the rest of your set up?
Is it even able to get 240FPS in CS:GO?

Exactly, your rig could be a bottleneck here if its not that high-end ish.

My FPS isn't the problem. Even when I load maps with no bots and push 800fps mat_info still says I'm running 144hz

OK, this is really weird. When i set the monitor refresh rate to 60hz, the game still displays and feels like 144hz, even when the desktop feels like and displays (using this website)60hz
