[SOLVED] Converting from 60hz to 144hz

[alexforward]

I am considering buynig a 144hz monitor as right now i only have a 60hz one. However i am just wondering is it worth it? I'm quite a competitive gamer and i hear that 144hz is ideal for gaming, is there a noticeable difference tho? will i instantly be able to tell the difference? If so ill be using my 60hz one as a second monitor, so when both the monitors are next to eachother will i be able to see the difference indefinitely?

you should for example see the difference when you move the mouse cursor on the different screens.. that should give you and idea of how they differ... what is the rest of your rig and what are you playing?

if you achieve higher frames than 60 in any of those games id go for it.

Yeah basically any game i play i get about 200+ fps

144Hz is a massive difference, not just ingame either. Though your system needs to maintain those frame rates to truly notice. Easier running games like CS, LOL and Fortnite will feel like gliding on glass and quick mouse movement is much more accurate and smoother.

Depending on your hardware and video connection youre planning to use will determine if monitor will work at 144Hz with your system and maintain frame rates.

Be advised that sometimes you can't set two different frame rates on different monitors. I have seen reports that being "broken" from certain driver updates, XBOX DVR software... Also, certain GPU's might get hot when the attached monitors are running at different resolutions of frame rate.

In my opinion the issue is the 1060. In order to experience 144Hz gaming your system needs to consistently send 144 FPS to the monitor so that they're both on the same page er frame. For less resource hungry games you can probably achieve that but only you know the answer to that. If you can achieve 144 FPS+ on most/all your games you probably will see the difference but you will feel the difference more than just through the mouse. If you had a 1070 Ti or better I'd be looking at maybe a BenQ or an Acer 144Hz monitor. The 1060 is a little light.

The 1060 won't be able to hit the 144 fps at 1080p using ultra settings in games. But tweaking game settings would diffently boost your fps to take advantage of a 144 hz monitor.
