How to check if the monitor is actually runing at 144hz

[Le_haos]

I have a Dell S2417DG monitor for couple weeks now, absolutely love it. It has a 144hz refresh rate. I recently went to my friend's house, and he has the same monitor with me, but his monitor just feel a lot smoother than mine. We both play CSGO. In net_graph, it shows I am getting constant 200+ fps. I am using Cable Matters Gold Plated DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable 6 Feet. Is there a way to check if my monitor is actually running at 144hz?

Go to screen resolution on windows, then go to advance and select monitor. It will then show you the screen refresh rate

The monitor's options should also show what resolution and refresh rate it's currently running.

If it feels smooth like butter, you're good.

-display settings>advanced settings. (Assuming you probably already did that)

-move a Window around

-play a game and test it with the fps. Low would cause problems with it actually displaying 144hz without 144+fps

Do you have an AMD graphics card? If he has an NVidia one then it would take advantage of G-SYNC

V-sync and check what FPS it is

 

check menu 

 

( I thought HDMI doesn't do 144hz?)

i use display port cable, so it shouldn't be a problem

I have a GTX 1070, and the gsync is enable

actually, I didn't enable g sync, that is probably why
