I notice barely any difference between 60 hz and 75 hz. Am I doing something wrong?

[minervx]

I overclocked my 60 Hz monitor to 75 Hz, and upon playing Overwatch, I didn't notice much of any difference.  I tried several custom resolutions and turned off the FPS lock.  It's possible that 75 Hz never turned on, but most likely it did.

 

I did notice a giant jump from 30-45 to 60 fps.  Night and day.  And maybe a jump from 60 to 90 will become apparent, but I don't notice much with 75.  It's a smooth game, but it was already smooth at 75.  The game felt a bit faster but I didn't feel much of a drop upon going back to 60.  I don't think it made my game any more nor did it make me any more capable of winning.

 

Maybe I just have different perception than some people.  Some eyes may be more sensitive to frame rate changes than others.  But, unless I'm doing something wrong, I'm just not impressed.

Small increases in fps won't be day and night differences, but small decreases do get quite noticeable when you are playing at competitive refresh rates like 144hz and 240hz. 60hz to 90hz is a big difference for sure but 60 to 75 really isn't much of an upgrade.

It's because there is barely a difference. The higher you go in FPS the less noticeable the difference is.

In my opinion 0FPS to 60FPS is 0% to 100%, then 70FPS is 101% and so on.

i suspect that gains beyond 60 fps are possible, but require larger doses.  

 

i'm guessing i'd have to go to 100 frames to see as big of a jump from 45 to 60 frames.

Yep. Which is why I no longer run my 1080p screen at 74Hz. There is no point, and I could if I wanted to get 75Hz without overclocking by dropping the resolution to 1366x768 (didn't even know it was supported until mirroring with my 1366x768 75Hz screen).

if it was already smooth at 60, just go with it.

0 to 60 is technically speaking ∞

You could try one thing if your graphics card is powerful enough.

 

Do 60Hz and activate V-Sync

 

and after

 

Do 75Hz and also activate V-Sync

 

Do you see any difference?

 

I'm curious

[minervx]

going from 30 to 60 is like 100% better.

 

going from 60 to 75 is like 5% better

i think i have it on alread,y but i can double check

I'm generally in the same boat as you. I can barely notice a change from 60 to 75 on my current display. Oddly though, on my old 5:4 panel it was a pretty noticeable difference, but only with 2006 and earlier games. Figure that one out.

Overwatch sees a big difference in the leap from 60 to 90/120/144

 

Well, that's what I see anyway. Going from 1080p60 to 1440p144Gsync is by far the biggest difference I've seen in a game

Check if your monitor experiences frame skipping. Mine doesn't and I notice the difference between 60 Hz and 75Hz. But both the system refresh rate and the game refresh rate have to match.

 

Even if you watch 24 fps video you can notice the difference between 60 and 72 Hz. The same works for 25 fps video and 75 Hz refresh.

30 fps video looks better on a 60 Hz screen.

I can see as well the difference between 60Hz and 75Hz. Recently overclocked my brother's in law monitor. I even see it in windows when I move the cursor across the screen. It's more fluid.

Did the same, don't wanna go back

You barely can see difference from 60hz to 75hz

 

You only start feel difference from 60hz to 100hz and above.

i definitely want to get a 144 hz monitor when the price becomes reasonable for an IPS 1440p.

 

but with the very little improvement i saw in overwatch at 75 hz.  im not in a hurry.  of course i can run overwatch at 100 fps with my setup.  but more demanding titles may only run at 70 hz and if this is all there is to that, im not in a hurry

60 FPS is perfect. Anything higher is only good to prevent it from going under 60.

Or my eyes are missing out on a lot.

Yes you are missing out on the beauty of 144hz.

Your missing beauty of 165hz. 

 

This thread is funny Hz and FPS have ZERO to do with each other.
