Monitor Refresh Rate 144hz

[WildnoutWiles]

So I bought a 144hz Acer monitor, and with my setup I can run CS GO around about 230ish FPS, and that is where I plan to use 144hz. With the other games like BF1 and GTA V I won't be able to push over 100 FPS on the highest settings. So my question is when I play the other games that can't exceed 100 FPS should I lower my monitors Hz to put less strain on my setup?

you don't need to lower it, it won't put stress on your system.

The refresh rate of your monitor does not put strain on your system, the FPS you're pushing does. Lower the settings in your game.

Absolutely not.  Even 60 fps with a 144hz monitor feels better then a 60.60

So ultimately higher hzs doesn't put additional stress on my rig, I rather stay at that 1080p 60 fps high settings that my GPU can handle.

Yes, and you should definitely play games at the highest refresh rate you can. Yes, that means turning down settings in a lot of games but it's worth it.
