144Hz monitor vs 60Hz

There is an argument for this though I think 120 is probably close enough to to 144 not to matter much.   Worth looking at the actual quality though. A lot of low end stuff pulls visually unpleasant tricks to get that last few hz.

I mean 144Hz is the "new" 120Hz really, I don't even see those anymore. Always good to quickly check reviews, some 144Hz really act more like 120Hz though.

Yea it isn’t only hz. I’m sure a seven year old acer monitor has room for improvement. Or else I could have kept all 5 of my 120hz monitors.

I’ve got a 1440p 144hz moniter. It’s epic.

I'm about to invest on a triple monitor setup but decided to go for 75Hz instead with hopefully the possibility to overclock the displays a little bit. My issue is 1) I don't play a lot of shooters and fast-paced games (I'm more into action and sports games) and 2) My Vega 56 would struggle to run 3 1080p monitors at 144Hz.

It’s gonna run the monitors the exact same regardless of the hz.

True.  The question becomes is it worth doubling cost for a feature that currently cannot be used?  I suspect it comes down to price difference.   If a 144hz monitor isn’t nearly the same price as a 75hz monitor it may make sense to buy the 144 because the gpu may get updated.   On the other hand, it is money from which no return would be seen for an unknown amount of time.

It would be seen on the desktop. Even when running surround I ensure I can get 100+ frames or I upgrade. But if the game or gamer doesn’t call for it then it doesn’t matter.
