The stark contrast of the picture above will probably leave many questioning its authenticity and whether or not it was edited. If you want to continue enjoying your 60Hz monitor, don’t try higher refresh rates, at least until you have the money to upgrade. The most common answer as to why people that have tried a 144Hz monitor (or even 240Hz) can’t go back is that everything, from the cursor movement on the desktop to intensive gameplay, felt sluggish when returning to 60Hz. This is the oldest and the most well-established refresh rate but, as is often the case with technology it is quickly going out of fashion. The main reason that you might still be using a 60Hz monitor is probably due to a restricted budget. We will now explore some potential upsides and downsides of each monitor to determine what is the best refresh rate for gaming.
The unnecessary overworking of the GPU might lead to overheating and other bottlenecking problems. Otherwise, the GPU will produce more frames than the monitor can display, and you might end up wanting to fix a problem that isn’t there. If you want to enjoy smooth visuals from your graphics card, then you will need to make sure it is powerful enough for the game you are trying to play.Īnother crucial factor that is sometimes overlooked is the need for a great monitor that can keep up with the GPU. Below a certain speed, the illusion of movement will be shattered. The more powerful the GPU, the faster the images will be sent.
Games (and other moving images) are displayed on a monitor when the GPU sends multiple still images in rapid succession.
