GTX 760 + 60Hz Monitor?

[djjordand6]

Hi everyone,

I am planning to get a GTX 770 from MSI for my HP. I am also planning to upgrade the PSU.

There is one thing I am concerned about, however. My monitor. It has the right ports but I think the 60Hz monitor I have might not be giving the full glory that GPU can offer. I want to know if a 60Hz monitor should look fine. Would V-Sync help?

Any answers appreciated!

The next step from 60 hz is 120 hz which the GPU(760) cannot produce with ultra/high settings. So stick with 60hz and crank up the settings to ultra.

No, V-sync caps the video at 30fps if it sometimes drops from 60 fps, so dont use vsync. Gtx 760 can play games at around 50- 60 fps. It wont need v-sync.

V-sync caps the frame rate at 60 to help reduce frame jitter (effectively it just helps smooth it out). A bit of perspective for you, the human eye can only see 15-16Hz, so 30, 60, and 120Hz refresh rates should all look fine. Faster refresh rates are really only noticeable during high-speed motion, and even then 60Hz will do the job just fine.

V-sync should only ever be used when strange video glitches occur without it and/or you have a multi-GPU setup

But the eye can notice the smoothness from 15 to 30 or 30 to 60, beyond that its really subtle.

After 30 it tends to come down to the inconsistent rate of frame delivery that gives any sense of choppiness - tons of interesting articles published on the subject, especially since AMD was embarrassed over their micro-stuttering problem some time ago - ah the complexities of the human eye and the graphics pipeline 😉

Thank you for the information everyone.

I dont have to choke up £200 to get a 120Hz monitor now xD

Ur welcome

No Problem
