Is it worth to buy a 165hz monitor? will it be fine to play FPS games on a 60hz monitor?

[EdenAb]

Im interested in buying a new monitor and play FPS games, is it worth it to buy 165hz monitor? or should i stay with my 60hz one?

My pc specs for those who are wondering if my pc can even run games at 100+ fps:  gtx 1060 6gb, 16gb 3200mhz ram, I7 8700K.

Thanks!

I have a GTX 980 and i have a 144Hz monitor, it's so nice, I recommend it.

Totally worth it.

I wouldn't expect the 1060 to get you anything over 144FPS, so a 144Hz display should do.

I recommend it as well, 120/144/165hz is really nice for FPS games. Really gives you an edge

I have an rx 480 (similar to your 1060) with a 144HZ monitor, holy crap it's good.

It's worth it! And in most games it shouldn't be too difficult. I don't play many AAA games but anything else, easily 100+ fps.

I get headaches if I play at 60 Hz now, and even the 15 Hz jump to 75Hz makes a difference. 120 Hz or higher is definitely the way to go.

Will it be fine to play at 60 Hz?  Yeah, a lot of people do it.  Hell, a lot of people even do it at 30, but that doesn't mean it's a good experience   If you do upgrade, I'm sure you'll love it and never go back.  You should be able to get 165 fps in older titles or newer ones with graphics settings reduced but you're not gonna be able to push that in high or ultra by any means with a 1060 so keep that in mind.

I'm used to 60Hz, 144Hz is amazing I tried it long time ago once (I have GTX 970).

Going back to 60 after that felt slower but I got used to it again. Your PC can handle most games, if you're talking FPS like CS:GO for 144Hz monitor then it can handle it easily.

For newer titles, it can still run. If it's unstable then just lock it to 60. I've not seen a game that runs sluggish on a 1060 6GB (thus far, like below 30).

Woah, in that case 144Hz is almost nothing then....
