I currently have a 75hz monitor and want to play my games at 150 hz, to get reduced display latency and no screen tearing. The problem is that some games don't support custom resolutions, and I can only use 144hz, which displays noticeable screen tearing. Is there a way to set a custom frame rate that is only detected by games, but not sent to the monitor itself.

How can you play at 150hz if your monitor only only supports 75hz? I'm very confused.

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.9 Ghz  | Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD


Inside some old case I found lying around.

Now, I heard that this works, and it makes sense. If my GFX card is sending 60 frames per second, that means that there can be a 1/60th of a second delay. If I set it to 120 fps, then that delay is reduced to 1/120th of a second. I don't have g-sync or anything fancy like that, so this is my best solution.

I think you need to put VSYNC on or set your frames to 75 cuz any more you can’t see plus it’s probably what’s causing your tearing 

 

Im not exactly sure tho so someone correct me if I’m wrong lel

I can see the extra, because there is less latency. And I see no reason for tearing because its still divisible.

Thank you, but it doesn't appear to make a difference between V-Sync, I am looking for a way to make Vsync do 150 frames, not my monitor's 75

You might have to restart for it to take effect.

 

FastSync allows you to have an unlocked frame rate above the monitor's refresh rate while still maintaining the V-Sync anti-tearing effect. But there's no way to make V-Sync itself sync to a different rate than your monitor's refresh rate.

I got it to work, thanks for the help!
