TeePoint :
If im only getting 70 to 100 hz IN GAME. Do i need to adjust the in game settings to be over 144hz to take full advantage of a 144hz monitor? For example The Witcher im getting 70 to 80 frames in game on ultra settings.. should i downgrade the settings to high or mid to achieve over 144hz in game to take full potential of the monitor?
Is that how it works?
It can get a little complicated. However, there's not much point in having a 144Hz monitor if your FPS aren't at least close to 144FPS. Whether or not you need to change your settings, or whether you should consider a hardware upgrade, will depend on the current system specifications.
In the meantime, you can either try dropping down a quality step, or try dropping down to a lower resolution. Lower resolution = fewer pixels to render = higher FPS without sacrificing overall picture quality.
