Posted December 24, 2021 This monitor is supposedly supposed to have 1ms response time and a 144hz screen, but when I play games it doesn't feel like 144hz. I know it's set to 144hz because I've set it to the correct refresh rate in windows settings and the monitor settings. There's visible tearing and in general it doesn't feel smooth. My brother has a 144hz laptop display and it feels WAY smoother than my display, AND IT'S A LAPTOP. I'm using a DP cable for the 144hz monitor, HDMI for 60hz, my graphics card is the gigabyte gaming OC rx5600xt (which I suspect to be the culprit because it's radeon), ryzen 5 2600, corsair 750w psu.

Posted December 24, 2021 Is it specific games or all games? That's a decent GPU but certainly not a powerhouse of a GPU. Are you using v-sync when playing the said games or do you have v-sync turned off, depending on your use-case, both may help one way or the other.

All games, for example, fortnite, where in performance mode I get a constant 144 fps, vsync on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 24, 2021 If you have 60 fps video playing on the secondary monitor, or other GPU-accelerated programs being rendered there, it can result in the main display also syncing to 60 fps. https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/4i4399/dual_monitor_144hz_60hz_framerate_lock_is_a_bug/ Forum Rules | Guide to Display Cables / Adapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
