Screen Tearing

[Felix123]

Hi guys!

 

I just bought a new 144hz monitor. i had a standard 60hz monitor for the last 4 years.

 

now i was wondering if i will still have rly bad screen tearing!

 

because:

 

(on old 60hz monitor) when i limited my fps in a game to 60fps, screen tearing was really really bad...

but when i bumbed my fps limit up to 120, i could barely see screen tearing!

 

--> So my question... if i get a 144hz monitor and i have slightly above 144fps ingame, will i see the same screen tearing-results with my 60hz monitor at 60fps???

and would i need double the framerate ingame to get better results with my 60hz 120 fps limit???

 

 

what do you think??

 

thx a lot

does the monitor have g-sync or freesync?

For every hz that is one more frame per second that your monitor displays. So if you have a 144hz monitor and you are only supplying it with 60fps that means that theoretically 84 frames your monitor puts out that have nothing to display. So if you get a 144hz monitor make sure your pc can run what every game you are playing at atleast 144 fps.

no... i chose a cheap 144hz monitor.

i know.. i know...

but i got bad screen tearing with the 60hz 60fps limit setup..

the 60hz 120 fps limit setup was doing fine.

 

so i was wondering what will happen when i do 144hz and 144 fps limit (or higher of couse... my gpu can do that)

i wanted to know if the 144hz no fps limit setup would behave like the bad performance of the 60hz 60fps limit setup.

of course not, the 144hz no fps limit would "behave" like the 60hz 120fps setup in the sense that you have no screen tearing.

ok... so we could say that because we are running 144hz and no limit... we actually have way better performance already because of the 144hz refreshrate of the monitor itselfe

 

so we will even get better results than the 60hz 120 fps limit setup because we are already running 144hz and higher than 144fps...

 

is that correct?
