Refresh rate differences?

[The Angry Alien]

I'm looking at a new monitor to pair with my new GTX 970 (Yay!) and I've been very interested in the Asus VG248QE as it has 144hz refresh rate. But I'm also thinking about purchasing a IPS monitor (don't have a specific one in mind yet) that has 75hz and <6ms response time if possible. It will be used for gaming, and I was wondering how much 144hz would cut on motion blur over 75hz? I'm also interested in how much of a difference people felt moving from a 60hz monitor to a 75 or 144hz monitor, and if 75 or 144 feel much different at all. Thanks!

144Hz is a stretch with a 970, even at 1080p - most games won't get over 100fps unless you lower settings to medium or low

I suppose it would've helped for me to list some games that I tend to play commonly; Dota 2, CS:GO, Witcher 3, GTAV, Rocket League, KSP, and Killing Floor 2 as just a few examples

CS:GO - 300fps likely

Dota 2 - 300fps likely

Witcher 3 - at ultra settings 50fps

GTA V ultra - 50fps

Rocket League - 300fps

KSP =???

KF2 =???

Do you know how much motion blur in games like CS:GO would be cut down by a 144Hz monitor? With the VG248QE I was also thinking of purchasing the G-sync kit at some point too.

Why don't you turn off motion blur via menu? o_O

i'd rather have this monitor, it's IPS so good colors and viewing angles and it's 25'' so a little bigger too and 4ms so good for gaming...the image on this will look better than the VG248QE

it's also quite a bit cheaper:

good luck finding those, they have been available for only like 2 months and only a few people managed to put their hands on them, they have been discontinued.

I always do, but from what I've heard certain monitors have an "ultra-low motion blur" option that allows for it to be cut down further in high refresh rates

I've never heard of this

a good monitor will not introduce any more motion blur or ghosting effects...if you play CSGO massively then get the 144hz VG248QE though it'll be better for shooters...but it won't look as good.

It's actually pretty interesting "The 144Hz rapid refresh rate speeds up the frames per second to deliver ultra-smooth motion scenes in 2D intense actions*. The response time is also reduced to 1ms to eliminate tracers by controlling voltage levels when driving liquid crystals thus ensuring fluid and clear video playback. The ASUS VG248QE 144Hz fast gaming monitors half the effects of motion blur on conventional 60Hz LCDs to deliver a perceivable difference for natural movement and crisp edges on fast paced gaming environments. (*To activate 144Hz function (in 2D mode), both DisplayPort (or Dual-link DVI) and a selected graphics card with the latest driver are required. Please kindly contact the service center of your graphics cards companies for further technical supports.)"

the shit they are willing to spew for you to put that thing in your cart...amazing

Ok, thanks. I don't usually pay much attention to color reproduction and such so it wasn't ever a huge concern for me, as I'm running on a 1600x900 Acer TN panel a few years old and it's never bothered me much

like i said, if you play mainly CSGO and other shooters the 144hz asus monitor is worth a shot it will help you because the faster refresh rate make everything much smooter and then it's easier to aim and shit...but if you play mostly the other games you've mentionned then i feel the 25'' IPS Acer monitor i linked might be better...it has superior viewing angles and the color will just be more vibrant and also it's a little bit bigger but not too big for 1080p...so yeah, it depends what you do most...but forget about the Gsync module for the asus i looked it up and it's absolutely impossible to find anymore unfortunately,

so if you go with the ASUS monitor be prepared for a lot of screen tearing...some games you'll probably prefer to just lock Vsync in at 60FPS and experience no tearing...games such as rocket league for example or other games that won't really benefit from high refresh rate but rather a smooth no tearing 60FPS locked experience.
