I planned to buy a new 144hz monitor with freesync (i have a nvidia card but can't afford a g-sync) to reduce screen tearing since my current 60hz Samsung monitor has a lot of it.
But i read that higher refresh rates might even make the screen tearing worse.
So my question is if the refresh rate really doesn't have much to do with the screen tearing, and getting at a better monitor won't help reduce screen tearing?
My specs are:
Samsung SyncMaster BX2431 (at least 5 years old)
GTX 1070
I7 7700K
16 GB RAM
