Hello, feel free to skip to questions if you don't feel like reading.
Short story, i currently have a 5 years old acer x223w monitor and want something bigger/better. Initially i wanted a 27", so i tried an asus vx279q IPS monitor. Didn't like that "ips glow" thing, and blacks were not dark enough to my taste. Then i tried a benq gw2760hs. Colors and blacks were perfect, but the ghosting in game was horrible and the motion blur when moving makes me dizzy. So i thought why not stay with a TN, i like how my current monitor looks like after all. However, the only 27" TN choice in my price range is the benq RL2755hm, but i've read alot of negative comments about it being a bad monitor being wrapped in golden adveritsement.
So now i'm considering a 24" 144hz monitor instead, since everyone seem to agree about how great it is for gaming. However, i only have a single gtx 970 graphic card, so playing at a constant 144fps is not possible, i even strugle to get a constant 60fps in some games. And unfortunately, with my budget i can't afford any g-sync monitor.
So, questions:
1- Playing a game at 60fps on a 144hz monitor, will it look worst or better then playing at 60fps on a 60hz monitor ?
2- If the question 1 answer is "worst", can i instead easily change the monitor frequency between each games ? (like setting the screen to 70hz while playing a game that i can't get more than 70fps, then setting it back to 144 to play a less GPU intensive game)
3- Is there less ghosting on a 144hz monitor compared to a 60hz TN ?
4- does all games support 144hz ?
5- will i see a difference between 60 and 144hz only in games, or on everything else ?
6- Is it really a good idea to buy a 144hz monitor considering that i probably won't be able to get more than 80fps in most games ?
thanks
