Is a 144hz G=Sync monitor really worth the money? They're extremely expensive for monitors

(you)

Did you actually set your monitor settings to 144hz

>Is a 144hz monitor really worth the money?
YES, although
>G=Sync
There's no reason to buy a g-sync monitor over a freesync monitor anymore.

i bought a 144hz monitor at microcenter for $150. its been great so far

What's the point of g-sync/freesync? I just cap my FPS to my refresh rate and that does the trick.

yes, give money to the green jew to feel the placebo effect and come shill it here after, you won't regret it.

mine coming from a supplier has delayed my build all week and now its Friday. my excitement has gone and now I just feel down that I won't have it this weekend

GSYNC GUD
NO REGURTS

yes

Is it because adaptive sync works if you have a nvidia card, correct?

I've got a Dell S2716DG as my primary monitor and it's an absolute delight. I don't think they're necessarily "worth the money", but if you've got it to spare without missing it, then yes, absolutely, they're fucking great

Vsync adds input lag and reduces performance (some games the performance hit is negligible though), and not using vsync means you'll get screen tearing.
Yep, Nvidia added support for freesync monitors in January.

i had this problem until a friend of mine told me to use a dvi cable instead, that unlocked the 144hz setting.
Go to screen settings and find hz, it's automatically set to 60 or, 59.
Change it to 144, best discovery of my life

You have to actually enable it, like in the nvidia control panel. It's not on by default.

It's just a cherry on top innit. There are some real diminishing returns past 60

:(

>friend of mine told me to use a dvi cable instead
use a fucking displayport cable you ugly caveman.

I am still using my 10bit Dell monitor I bought many years ago.

Not sure of it is worth going back to 8bit just for the 144hz

Only if your some moron who believes memes that the human eye can't detect higher than 60fps.

>look up monitors to buy
>$800
>$750
>$400
>$300
Any good gsync/freesync monitors that are around $200? Bonus points if it's higher than 60hz
Should I just look up used monitors?

My excuse is that I'm poor.

Nvidia supports freesync now. Gsync isn't worth shit

maybe that's what I'm using idk lol something like that

What's wrong with DVI?

Asus VG245H
75hz, Freesync, 1080p, $190ish

I know the eye well, mate. I'm just saying it's like greasing an eel. It's already slippery enough innit.

It doesn't support 144hz @ 1440p or higher.

Danke user

Oh, I don't care about that. 1080p is just fine for me.

Depends if you feel that having an even more slippery eel is as worth it as having a genuinely better viewing experience.
I can't think of a reason why i'd want my eels slipperier but I can think of reasons I want my games to look better.

no, diminishing returns start at around 150+, pretty much anything below that is very noticeable

>all those huge ass gaming monitor when my desk isn't big enough to fit one
Best 24" 144hz monitor?
Preferably with deep black

>It's just a cherry on top innit.
No, it's a bigger improvement than that. I'd much rather turn all settings to low and play at >100fps than run at ultra at 60fps.

Ive just ordered mine today, so hopefully will have it by next week.

Got the AOC CQ32G1, which is 2k and 144hz and only 469 Kangaroo buck, so not too bad.

Be my first 1440p and 144hz, so im excited.

Hmmmmm tough one.
Perhaps the MSI Optix MAGG24C
144hz, 24" Curved, 1080p, VA Panel. $250ish

Nice nice, what video card you got for it? Hopefully a 10 series or better.

>couldnt find a monitor with an adjustable stand, 144hz, 1080p, no bezels and doesn't look like shit like OP's.
>forced to get a 240hz 300 usd one.

What a load of horseshit.

Still rocking the 980ti, which is about the same as a 1070, if not better.

I have a 240hz 1ms g-sync ama

Anons, I'm in the market for a new 4k monitor. What ones do you guys use?

Same here user. Everything above 1080p and 80fps or so is completely unnoticeable to me personally, granted I'm nearsighted and have bad astigmatism in both eyes.

got a cheap freesynch that's supported with nvidia

you don't notice screen tearing at 144fps, you don't notice input lag from vsync at 144fps either unless the devs fucked up

>gsync
>around $200
kek, you're better off focusing on getting 144hz, not gync/freesync.

Ok, serious question, how would you describe the difference between 60 and 144 fps?
30fps feels like a slideshow on first person shooters, but still feels decently playable on other genres such as adventure games or horror ones like the new RE2(not saying there's no difference in those titles as well).
60fps feels buttery smooth on any genre and, at least to me, gives a sensation of more control even on those genres that dont strictly benefit from 60fps gameplay wise.
I tired 144, and while i can definitely see a difference from 60, i cant really place it to describe how it feels compared to 60, and "even more smooth" doesnt quite works, to the point where even if i could afford a 144hz monitor, i wouldnt bother with it.

>Looking to upgrade to an RTX and get a new monitor too
>G sync monitors are all hundreds of dollars more than free sync
>Nvidia only works with 12 free sync monitors and none of them are really what I'm after
Fucking Nvidia. Guess I'll have to splurge to get a good monitor. Is ultrawide any good?

Changing my monitor to 60hz and 144hz the difference is quite clear. 60hz is basically 30.

144fps is to 60fps as 60fps is to 30fps
i really can't explain it better than that, it's exactly how it sounds

No you just have to enable it in Windows in the display settings, you only have to enable stuff like freesync/gsync in your graphics card's control panel

I might be able to tell the difference with 4K because I usually notice aliasing in 1080p, never tried it though.

"Even more smooth" describes it just fine.

>you don't notice screen tearing at 144fps
Yes you do. Literally just had an issue with a game not working right with adaptive sync (W10 problem that can be fixed) and had tearing out the ass at 144fps.
>you don't notice input lag from vsync at 144fps either
Yes you do. A lot of times you need triple buffering, that is noticeable on top of everything else. Plus even with triple buffering frame pacing still isn't perfect in a lot of games, but adaptive sync fixes that.

>tfw can't even tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps unless it's a side by side comparison

nope.

Nah, G-sync works better than freesync, but not $200 better. 144Hz is great though. Try to get yourself a 144Hz Freesync monitor.

>60hz is basically 30.
>144fps is to 60fps as 60fps is to 30fps
that's my "issue", even if the jump from 60 to 144 is more than double, to me it doesnt really feel the same way the jump from 30 to 60 does, even if i can clearly see a difference.

it was the same for me in the past, and to this day i can play 30fps just fine, what worked for me was play at a constant 60fps for weeks to get used to it and then switch to 30 out of curiosity, and let me tell you i was surprised i couldnt tell the difference before.

what
so wheres the setting in the radeon crimson settings then?

Nvidia works with all freesync monitors, but there's only 12 that meet the 'g-sync standard'. Every freesync monitor will work exactly the same on nvidia gpus as they do on amd gpus.

Nobody with a brain should be able to answer this because it means they own a radeon card

go for high frame rate if you play shooters. Go for image quality if you like RPGs.

But what about hybrids like 2077?

I recently replaced my old 144hz monitor with a new IPS panel. It it worse in fast-paced games but I really care much more about image quality these days.

decide for yourself OP. 144hz is just a overclock meme, you are supposed to go for 120/240 fps with ulmb for ultimate clarity. stay at 1080p, any higher and you might as well just get a curved monitor.

i would check out 240hz monitors, you can set it to120hz if you don't have games that can even run at 240hz, but for those few games you can, it would be worth it imo.

the only real difference between 120 and 240hz is at 120, you will start to see motion blur at 720dpi, where at 240hz its 1440, which would be 0 motion blur for users who use less than 1440 dpi on their mouse.

polling rate on your mouse can also affect it but its not an issue these days since every gaming mouse has 1000hz

Viewsonic XG2401 has been the best 1080p gaming monitor for years. g-sync is not worth it anymore obviously

If you want a dogshit monitor that changes colors just moving your eyes up/down. (TN gamma shift is dogshit)

There is. If you want quality.
Theres still no Freesync monitor thats as good as a Gsync monitor using Nvidia.
The Gsync compatible Freesync displays arent even on par yet. And there are risks it wont function as intended if you dont buy one thats listed by nvidia.

Nah, screw that, high frame rate for everything. Doesn't matter how nice something looks if whenever something moves it just becomes a choppy mess.

yes. it'll make you do a doubletake on how better the refresh rate is. I got the gsync 244hz predator and I love it

You're a living meme.
"Any higher than 1080p, get a curved monitor" Like kill yourself.

Also DPI and Motionblur? Are you actually retarded?

I have this. It's nice.

Attached: 9881.png (310x251, 32K)

Currently I'd go for a 144hz IPS panel. Best colors + good refresh rate and the only thing you have to sacrifice is some reaction time.

Won't upgrade my monitor untill 144hz HDR/OLED become main stream

>OLED
>not mLED

same

I'd instantly pay a 1000 bucks for an OLED if they'd manage to fix the burn-in.

these sell for like $120 at microcenter no?

Attached: rfmhn947rkf21.jpg (730x960, 45K)

its technically PPI but its pretty much the same as DPI conceptually, nobody is going to know what i mean by PPI.

also let me guess, you're a 1440p 144hz shitter who doesn't know what ulmb is and is still stuck on default overclock.

How the fuck is that webm that good looking at that size and length

Still loving and going strong with my PG278Q

So nice to be able to go beyond 60fps, so nice to have G-sync and not have to worry about v-sync settings and screen-tear bullshittery and sooooo much nicer on the eye strain.

People really missing out but it is pricey.

Webm for retards, use variable bitrate, enable high quality mode, lower CRF as much as possible without going over 3MB, then increase Tolerance as much as possible.
