Question Why when I run my 144hz at 60hz on a 60fps cap game, the lag is crazy?

[Tlowrey]

When I had my original setup with my 1600x900 monitor, capped at 60hz I never seemed to have any issues. Since then I now run 1920x1080 144hz monitor, but am trying to play a game that is capped at 60fps that I used to play on my 1600x900 60hz monitor and had no problem, but now cannot find a way to run it in a stable way. It seems as if because I have a 144hz monitor the 60fps cap and 144hz monitor are not interacting well. Bc of that I tried downing my hz to 60 to rock with the same 60fps but it seems to be even worse or just about the same. Can anyone help me out?

hey, my guess would be that you have vsync on and your computer or something cant keep up, i also dont know of any games that are capped at 60 fps but it could be a thing i guess, however i would look into the vsync option in the video options of the game youre playing, which btw what is it?

Yes tell us the game(s) the GPU and the monitor.
If you have a nvidia card go to the control panel and change the vsync settings,make sure to try fast sync.
