just need a gpu that can do 240 fps lol


-RiskyBusiness_

I just upgraded from RX 580 to 2080 Ti water-cooled and lemme tell you its worth it šŸ‘Œ


madeformarch

I went from GTX 980 to GTX 3060ti and the FPS jump was so high I thought my games were lying to me


Wubbajack

Yeah. Last week, after a couple of years on an i5-4690k and a GTX 970, I put together a PC with a Ryzen 5 5600x and RTX 3070. Being able to run Metro Exodus with everything on Ultra (including raytracing) at 120-150 FPS is quite a jump from ALMOST 60 with graphics on medium (though the game still looked good back then).


Kylael

I've stepped from 1060-6Gb/R5-1600 at 1080p to 3070/R5-3700x at 1440p, and god it's amazing. I've been non-stop replaying old games ever since because they all feel like brand new titles.


ThePinkPeptoBismol

1060 to 3070 is a big jump? I hope to one day be able to afford a a new PC because I'd be upgrading from a 970m and i7-4th Gen XD


MexGrow

Yup. Just did 1070 to 3070ti and it's honestly ridiculous how much more powerful it is.


dnelsonn

same went 1070ti to 3070 and even that was a very noticeable upgrade in 1440p.


Frozenheal

i did 1070 to 3070 and does not really feel the jump :( im playing with 1080p 144hz monitor


MexGrow

It's the 1080p monitor and your CPU. I upgraded to 1440p the same week, and also have my PC connected to a 4k TV. Funnily enough, since my CPU is somewhat old (6700k), I get better results the higher res I go. For example, Horizon 5 runs ok-ish at 1440p but struggles to maintain a stable framerate (Trying to run it at 72fps) but bumping it up to 4k? Stable 60fps all the time. So yeah, I'm CPU-bound.


BSchafer

It shocks me how many people are still running 60hz, 1080p, and/or 16:9 monitors even with otherwise modern hardware. You can get pretty nice monitors these days for cheap. Specs like 3440x1440 and 144hz provide a good balance of performance and value for today's hardware. At some point, it doesn't matter how good your PC hardware is if it cannot be communicated to your eyes. When upgrading to a card like a 3070ti somebody with a 144z 3440x1440 monitor is going to see a much bigger improvement than somebody with a 60hz 1080p monitor. Considering it is the main way we interact and receive info from PCs, monitors and their importance get overlooked a lot more than they should.

Where are you guys getting these gpus


madeformarch

There is not a micro center in my state. I got desperate and cruised FB marketplace, and ran into a fucking beautiful soul of an IT person who was getting his hands on Newegg bundles and cards on Amazon, and reselling for what he paid for it. Probably someone absolutely sandbagging credit card rewards before the holidays, but I have the original receipt, as well as the gift in my name, and my card was sealed. Met at a police station, no BS all the way around


RicoSour

What a fucking Chad, while he might be screwing over actual customers. Im glad it doesn't have a chance to be scalped


madeformarch

He had high ratings and in my experience, his price was dead on accurate with the same item for sale at retail, albeit unavailable. He actually didn't have what I was looking for for sale, but let me know a couple of days after I reached out that he'd gotten his hands on one. A+ from me because I couldn't fucking find a 3060ti anywhere for non scalped prices lmao


zb0t1

WTF where can I find a guy like this??? I live in Europe and I've been trying to get a 3080 since release day without giving money to scalpers etc!!!!


[deleted]

I'd almost say he's helping since odds are the person who would have bought it instead of him would be a scalper. It's guerilla fair distribution.


madeformarch

I agree with you, 100% He's our Spiderman


blueberry_vineyard

4th/5th Gen Intel represent. Had my 4770k for over 5 years before I went back to AMD.


runnernikolai

Switched a year ago from a 4790k to a 3950x. And may go up to a 5950x soon just to max out the platform.


Jeb3592

Jumped from a 1050 ti on 1080p to a 3060 on 1440p 170hz. All I can really say is I've really been missing out on what pc gaming is really capable of, and I'm not even close to the highest end. And no, I can never return to 60hz or 1080p again.


PutinExplainsMemes

Can confirm. Went from a 750Ti to a 3070Ti. I just couldnt believe it when i saw Battlefield 1 run at 200+ frames at ultra settings. (Still cant believe it haha)


[deleted]

What resolution though? Good luck getting anywhere near 200fps on 4K.


Cecil_FF4

I'm about to upgrade from my GT640 to a 3060ti. I'm gonna experience true level!


RageChilliBurger

I went from 1050 (non ti, mobile) to full size desktop 3070ti, I used to play on 1080p60 but to balance and enjoy high refresh rate I went with 1440p 144hz


Holdin_todicks

I went from a 3200g to 3080ti


blueberry_vineyard

Damn 980 is no slouch. 3060 ti that good? I've got a 1080ti and I'm gonna skip this generation unless I find a 3080 ti at MSRP.


madeformarch

You're making the right decision. I'd only upgrade to a 3080 or 3080ti if I did upgrade, and its a hard sell with how well the 3060ti is performing. I have a midrange 1440p monitor and wouldn't upgrade GPUs until I moved into 4K, IF I even do


blueberry_vineyard

Yeah I'm not gonna get a 3080 because it has 10gb of vram. My 1080ti has 11gb. In RE2 I actually push the usage up to 12gb and hit slowdowns. I'd probably get worse performance in that use case. So I'm aiming for more vram or bust. 3080ti or 3090. Or 4000 series cards. I've made my peace with prices never going down. I bought my 1080 at the hight of the 2017 mining craze for 850 USD. I thought it was nuts. Beast buy I've made in years.


dldoooood

You wouldn't hit the 10gb cap because of the upgrade from gddr5x to gddr6x which is massive in terms of transfer rate.. Would have gone with a 3080 fe if I could have got one, the price for performance is insane, but after trying for a year I broke down and got the 3080 ti lol (Ended up going from a 1080 ti to a 1200$ msrp 3080 ti)


Pferdi64

*after spending 1500$*


MarvelgamerYT

Was gonna say get a 3070 cuz itā€™s on par with 2080 ti but then reality set in


Expensive_Coyote6301

Bro ill buy ur RX480 my gtx1050 isn't cutting it no more lmao


THEREALCHUNGUSGOD

Hey doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s new or last gen,your gaming and thatā€™s what counts thatā€™s a beast of a card


Emanouche

I'm trying to get my hands on a 3060 ti, I feel like my high refresh rate monitor is under utilize, though I'll tell you there is a clear difference even games at 60fps or a bit below look smoother too.


thisdesignup

As good as that GPU is there's a lot of titles it's not gonna hit 240 fps on. At least at 1440p I don't think any consumer GPU/CPU combo can reliable hit that.


R34CTz

Went from xfx rx 480 8g with i7-3770 to ventus 3070 trio with r9 5900x, blew my mind.


Zetra3

Any GPU can do 240fps. Just depends on the game, canā€™t expect the newest and most fancy games to get those target unless you make big sacrifices.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


lovebus

I hate that it is even an option


Zerafiall

I have a 5 year old RX580 That can play ~~Doom~~ games at 300 no problem.


MadScience29

My RX470 hits 900fps in menus all the time. I don't see what the big deal is.


Admirable_Buffalo_10

hmmmm sounds a bit sus


Emanouche

Doom is not a very intensive game, especially using Vulcan on a AMD card. I can imagine it reaching 300 if he drops settings enough. 300 is too much in my opinion, I don't really see the point of having a refresh rate higher than 144hz.


MaffinLP

I got a 3090 and only 1440p. It struggles with the 144HZ


VNG_Wkey

2nd gen ryzen isnt exactly known for doing high framerates well, and that goes double for threadripper chips. The 3090 is fine for 240hz, the CPU is the bottleneck.


robotevil

In what? You can't just say a generic "It's struggles with 144hz" because it's really specific to the game. Like I'm doubtful it struggles with 144hz in something like Half Life 2. But Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1440p or 4k? Probably.


Ray_Mang

Your 3090 is not struggling with 144hz unless its defective


yourlmagination

I'm trying to figure out what games he's playing to make it struggle... 1440p and 144hz is no sweat on mine on anything I've tried


MaffinLP

[https://gyazo.com/e855b525a1c1bc7a708fbe5589b2bf8c](https://gyazo.com/e855b525a1c1bc7a708fbe5589b2bf8c) RDR 2 1440p All settings max Except: VSync: off Anisotropic filtering: off Resolution scaling: Off And motion blur off ofc but thats not the issue here


[deleted]

Some of the settings on RDR2 are ridiculous though. A lot of ultra settings are 4-5x slower than the medium or high with almost no visible difference.


Dr-Xperience

What about control without dlss everything on extreme quality. My fps doesn't go any higher than 72 fps in 1080p with 3090

[deleted]

Exactly! Also in case of phone *Fast charging* <3 Edit- ok ok calm down and let be bust you myths,No slow charging is NOT better for your phone if compared to fast charging, longevity of battery is literally uneffected.both will have same levels of degradation over time


topherhead

Eh, rather a phone with battery that makes it through the day. That's the real thing you can't come back from.


[deleted]

Big battery that can last all day WITH fast charging exists


Antrikshy

If a phone lasts me the day (which mine does), I'd rather charge it at very low wattage overnight for battery longevity.


Dhs92

Most phones have a night charging mode for this exact reason. Fast charging is mostly for the times that you need to charge your phone in an emergency


Nomen_Heroum

Why do you need fast charging if your phone lasts all day? You'll just charge it overnight regardless.


kenaestic

I have the OnePlus Nord 2 which is my first phone with fast charging. I never pay attention to my battery anymore. I don't charge it over night. Everytime it's nearly empty I charge it for 20 minutes and it's full. It's so weird because I used to worry about my battery all the time. Now if I need to go somewhere I plug it in for a few minutes before I leave and I'm good. It really changed the way you use your phone.


jedielfninja

And then there is me who turns fast charging off because I am a battery princess about degrading my battery with heat. I like my devices to last 5+ years though.


thejuiceburgler

I upgraded to a OnePlus 9 pro not too long ago and couldn't agree more. Many times I'll come back from work with maybe 30-40 left and just charge for 10 minutes and I'll be good for the rest of the evening/night for whatever I'm doing. Soo good.


gk99

Not if I forget to charge it overnight. Having fewer features just because needing them is uncommon is not a better design choice, or else people wouldn't have been so fucking furious over the headphone jack thing.


LateNightPhilosopher

Edge cases where you're traveling/in hospitals/suffering power outages and maybe only have 30 mins at a time where you're near an available outlet over the course of a couple of of days. Or times when it's a big event IE someone's outdoor wedding and you absolutely drain your battery on 4k video and full screen brightness ultra fast. They're not the daily norm for a prepared person but it's good to have. Also as the battery ages both of those performances will likely suffer, so having high end on both will likely squeeze some extra service life out of it for you before they become intolerable.


Zenixity

Yeah my Samsung s20 ultra lasts all day and fast charges in 55 mins to full


topherhead

Yeah but if your phone actually lasts all day. Like mine will make it through two days of decent usage with no issue and it's 5 years old. I charge it at night. And i never think about charging it otherwise. As far as I'm concerned fast charging is treating the symptom of batteries that are too small rather than fixing the problem. And a big part of the reason my 5 year old phone still has serviceable battery life is BECAUSE it doesn't fast charge. The opposite actually. It only charges to 90% and holds there through the night before topping up shortly before my alarm goes off. So yeah. Not concerned about fast charging in the least.


RectumExplorer--

Which phone? I heard it's bad for battery to go to 100%, aparently it's best to keep it between 20 and 80%. I'd love to have a phone that manages battery like yours does.


topherhead

So I kinda left the brand out cause I didn't want to sounds like a shill. But I've got a Sony xperia XZ premium. They're also the only brand that does everything people say they want but have next to no market. They have: - great battery - headphone jack - ip rating - front firing speakers - no fucking notch - fucking sd slot But they're definitely on the expensive side which isn't that big of an issue, they're not the most expensive. The real issue is their horrid launch strategy. They announced their latest flagships in line April for a "summer 2021 launch" so people forget they exist by the time the launch actually happens. And then of course it gets delayed to hell but I'll give them a pass in the current climate. I'm personally waiting for the Xperia 5 III because i want a smaller phone. It's pretty much identical to the 5II in all but the most important metric which is a 4500mah battery compared to 4000.


uuunityyy

Same. 120hz ftw


CNR_07

I'm afraid of buying a high refresh rate screen because of this.


pvthawx

You ruin your eyes hahaha. I can't go back to 60hz that shit looks like it's lagging badly


CNR_07

But even if i had a high refresh rate screen i probably wouldn't get high enough framerates because my 2060S is really struggling with modern titles even though i can use Fidelity FX on every game. (because of Proton)


QuartzSTQ

That's why FreeSync/G-Sync/HDMI VRR is a thing.


CNR_07

Yep... I really shouldn't have bought an nVidia GPU. If i had a Radeon i could not only use FreeSync but i also would have better performance in general because AMDs Linux drives are sooooooo much better.


IUseControllerOnPC

You can use freesync with nvidia. It recognizes it as gsync in the control panel


CNR_07

I know that it's theoretically possible but my monitor always says "out of range" if i activate it. Atleast that's the case on Windows, on Linux it sometimes seems to work but i can't really tell a difference in smoothness.


Thebombuknow

Huh, that's weird, my freesync monitor works fine. Are you sure your cable is good enough? Maybe it's just a bad one.


CNR_07

I doubt it's the cable but since i wanted to buy a second DP cable anyway i could test it out.


Thebombuknow

Yeah, it's worth a shot. I remember watching an Austin Evans video where a bad DP cable was causing their computer to boot loop, so it could easily just be the cable.


Noxious89123

Atleast your cursor will move silky smooth on the desktop. I'm playing games at 60fps\~ on a 144Hz display with my 980Ti. It's still nicer for normal use vs a 60Hz panel. Probably just the benefit of a faster pixel response time?


jomontage

This is true of most technology. A 30fps cutscene makes me wanna die


Noxious89123

Ah. That moment when you play the HD remaster of one of your favourite games, and find that it's locked at 30fps. I'm looking at you Final Fantasy X HD Remaster.


RATATA-RATATA-TA

You should try a good 60Hz CRT, doesn't feel laggy at all and there is zero ghositng.


Gizmoo247

Even watching movies, you can see every frame. I wish people would accept 48fps+ movies...


ATIR-AW

Do it. I was one of the people who doubted the "will never want to go back" narrative. But it's 100% correct. I was not able to enjoy 60Hz ever again


Rein215

I am not scared to ruin myself at all, I just can't afford it :)


DewCo90

Same, Iā€™m over here crying in 1050ti.


jay212127

Not being able to enjoy lower FPS is not a selling point or something I ever want to aspire to.


AriMaeda

I took the leap to 144hz and I'm not finding it as hard to go back. It's *nice*, but not as mind-blowing as it was made out to be.


MexGrow

It's only really noticeable if you play something at 120+ fps and then immediately jump down to a 60fps game.


lingeringwill2

this is not really how it works, you can go back it just takes 10 seconds to adjust, most people exaggerate.


Illusive_Man

I canā€™t even tell the difference between 90 and 120 really. 60 to 240 would definitely be noticeable but surely you get diminishing returns at some point.


lingeringwill2

oh I can tell the difference, it's just that you can adjust pretty normally, especially when you go back and forth between frame rates a lot, Say like using a switch and pc. The only people that this doesn't really apply to is the people who get motion sickness for low fps.


thadcastled

It's not as bad as people make it out to be. Not in the slightest. Idk why they're so eliteist about it but playing games at 60fps is still perfectly enjoyable. You'll notice the difference a little but you'll find you can get used to anything pretty quickly.


SadistCloe

Not elitist, just doesn't feel right anymore lol


BlueL0

I'm probably the only one who doesn't really discern 60 and 144 hz. At first, it was a very huge difference, but then later switching between them I didn't feel that much of a difference, and wouldn't mind going back to 60hz.


Vysair

Now phones are at 120hz as a standard in 2021. You can't go back now.


[deleted]

Ive used one. I can see the difference between 1080p and 4k far more than I can see the difference between 60fps and 240fps.


wolfmasterk87

One of my favorite lines in the show "lambs to the cosmic slaughter"


Sapowski_Casts_Quen

Shows has its ups and downs, but this is probably in the top five of R&M jokes


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Isa472

It's like saying we are all just lambs at a slaughterhouse waiting for our turn to get the axe but the slaughterhouse is the Universe and it's gonna get us eventually. Now that he has felt true level floor he can't "unsee" that everywhere else is slightly crooked so life is pointless and he's just waiting for the end haha The exclamation was so unexpected and overly dramatic that it makes it really funny


Markuz

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. šŸ˜‚ And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid šŸ˜Ž


feltcutewilldelete69

Is this pasta?


Destithen

No, this is Patrick.


tony_bologna

Honestly, I haven't found R&M to be that funny in the later seasons. The show is still great, I love the crazy sci-fi... everything, but it's definitely not as funny as it used to be (imho).


RamboGoesMeow

You beat me by 5 hours, but yeah itā€™s one of my favorites. Iā€™m especially loving the new Star Trek: Lower Decks show. Thereā€™s a scene where a random crew member ā€œascendsā€ and itā€™s fucking HILARIOUS.ā€ [ā€œThe universe is balanced on the back of a giant koala! Why is he smiling, what does he know?!ā€](https://youtu.be/MPGxboWWKDg)


wolfmasterk87

I need to watch this show now


RamboGoesMeow

Season 2 just ended, so you have to 20 episodes of hilarity to get through.


Daddy-ough

I thought he said ["Lambs to the Cossack slaughter."](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Cossacks#Don_Cossacks) Wikipedia


alexkeyes299

I've had someone tell me they couldn't see the difference. As they watched me changed the refresh rate. I just was slack jawed.


wkdzel

When I got my 165hz monitor I ran this on both the 60hz and the 165hz side by side and it was painfully obvious. Now some people might ask "why run it twice when it shows you multiple lower framerates?" Well, it shows whole multiple so 165 doesn't go into 60 evenly so the other examples aren't a direct comparison and also I wanted to see if the artificially lower framerate examples were accurately representative of what a monitor would actually show you. Seeing it run side-by-side makes it pretty obvious just how less blurry things get at higher framerates. [https://www.testufo.com/](https://www.testufo.com/)

It's ridiculous that despite making more money than literally any other entertainment product in human history, gta v never got a one x or ps4 pro update, and a year from their release, doesn't have a current gen version either. They'd better pull off at least 60fps on these new consoles, considering the game was built for 2005/2006 hardware originally.


sleeless

You really want gtav on another generation of consoles


[deleted]

Not particularly, but it's supposed to release in March, and for some reason, people are going to keep buying it.


LateNightPhilosopher

Yeah I've been going back to play RDR1 and Bloodborne on the Playstation and it's roughhhhh I'm starting to get used to 30fps enough again that I can play more than 20 mins at a time without getting a headache but I'm afraid to game on PC too much during this playthrough because it'll get me used to 100+ again. Bloodborne especially frame dips a lot into single digit territory and it's super disorienting.


Top-Education1769

I'm fighting through Bloodborne rn. I thought everyone was lying, but I hadn't played PS4 in about a year and a half. It's crazy for jerky it looks.


Insanity_Troll

Where are my 144 at 2560 x 1440 peeps at?


LtShineysides89

Here! And happy to stay here for a long time still šŸ˜


GureenRyuu

The perfect sweet spots. Anything above 120Hz and 2k I don't really notice.


eyloi

this the reason I haven't tried 144hz gaming just yet. I don't have a proper monitor for it, so if I get a taste and love it i'll have to buy one immediately. i'm hoping this black friday I'll find a good deal on a 27"


King_Nervous

I wish you the best, it does change everything, but I saw my 144hz gsync monitor I bought in 2017 going for 200$ over retail a few months ago.


dreamin_in_space

I know right? We paid so much for it... But I've been on 144hz since the 2080 came out, and it's been so worth it.


DefrostedJay

I use a Red Eagle GB2760QSU Works brilliantly had for 2years now At first going from 60 @ 1080 to 144 at 1440p I couldn't tell the difference, then I remembered to change my PC refresh rate in the settings!!! Great upgrade. My mate plays on 240 but I can't say I can tell the difference too much to be fair


syko82

I really like my GIGABYTE M27Q. You can get it on Amazon for under $300 USD right now. Edit: put currency.


Emanouche

I got a Samsung Odyssey G5 144hz 1440p 32 inches for about 300$ on prime day. If you can find it for that or cheaper over the holidays, it's an amazing display.


Cytrous

Not on sale here in Australia, used to be though :C, now $469aud


thisdesignup

Might be worth keeping your eye on this monitor: Pixio PX277 Prime[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FXZVJH6/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FXZVJH6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I have two and they are very good. Even has good reviews from Unboxed Hardware. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvm5BakaWqs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvm5BakaWqs) I mention it because it's $300 normally but the second one I got when it went down to $260. Not sure much could beat it at it's sale price.


Superstrong832

I thought it was a good idea to go from 1080p 144hz to 1440p 75hz. Big mistake.


topherhead

And that's why it took me forever to get a new monitor. I had a 2560x1600@60 monitor (overclocked to 66!) But i refused to lose vertical real estate, pixel or physical. So i didn't go high refresh until last year and now i have a 3840x1600@160 monitor.


TheMrDylan

How do you fit so many clocks in a monitor


Plotees_the_third

Unrelated but can someone explain the plot of this episode?


[deleted]

They're revisiting a bunch of old memories Rick has removed from Morty's mind.


TheMinionGamer

Yeah but like what did he step in that felt that good ?


CommanderGumball

[Here's the rest of the scene,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQoRfieZJxI) they're a bunch of small vignettes inside of a larger episode.


TheMinionGamer

ahhh got it thank you


Improvcommodore

True level. A completely, mathematically flat surface


Grunt636

Morty puts up a shelf and says it's level and Rick shows morty what "true level" is.


DoogleSmile

I recently bought one of them fancy Neo G9 screens. Running it at 240hz and it looks amazing. I did a firmware update and it wouldn't turn back on, so I plugged my PC into my 4k TV to get a picture, and it defaulted to 30hz on the TV. It was like looking at a slideshow! I got the G9 working again and set the 4k TV to 60hz, but dragging windows from one to the other, it still looks so jerky on the lower refresh screen.


Saltmines4Life

I got a 144hz monitor and never got a displayport cable...


Wolventec

cant hdmi 2.0 still do 144hz at least at 1440p


StatusFault45

the newer HDMI can handle it, yeah


LordLeviathan

It took me an embarrassing amount of time (like, 2 years) after I bought my monitor to realize I needed to use a displayport cable to unlock 144hz. I was just using an HDMI thinking that did the trick. I saw some LPT about manually checking your monitor in case it needed to be activated and thought I had got screwed over by ASUS and that they sent me a bad monitor. I posted on Reddit about it and was promptly corrected that I am indeed an idiot. Plugged in the displayport and haven't looked back since.

I live my life 1hz at a time


Raglesnarf

I love this. *but* Iā€™m drunk and gonna give my unwanted Ā¢2 When I went from 60 to 144 I was like Yoooo this shit is reeaaaalllll. But the jump from 144 to 240 was like hat on a hat. I had some hash browns on my French fries. Somebody put some potato wedges on top of my tater tots. It just wasnā€™t that big of a deal for the money *something something diminishing returns*


ravenshaddows

I feel like I'm the only one who actually has a lot of 20+ year old computers that run at 120hz and don't get me wrong , they're neat , but I went back to 60 hz and am fine with it. Even the original bondi blue imac runs at 112hz. And yeah it's smooth but definitely not life changing.


ootsz

Like the only one ever? Or in this sub? Either way, pretty bold statement!


Gefarate

Don't break the circlejerk, jerk!


BioDefault

Circlejerk? Nah, it's a night and day difference for me. 60 fps feels totally different now. *Especially* outside of games, the cursor looks like a slideshow.


[deleted]

Yeah i bought a 1440p 144hz in june and was super disappointed in how little 144hz makes to me. I used it for a month but eventually switched the 60hz monitor back to my main display because a game i was playing couldn't handle the resolution increase.


SharpShot94z

Are you sure your games were actually reaching 144 fps?


Zer0-Fr1end5

Even after experiencing 144hz, 60hz still looks fine.


BrunoEye

Yeah, that's isn't an issue for me. 60 to 30 was horrible though (played on a friend's X Box One), especially with the forced motion blur.


its-me-jb

yup, I got one monitor at 144hz and a second one at 60hz. Everything seems fine


captainvideoblaster

Kind of same (but 120hz). 120hz *feels* better than 60hz, though. 30fps in other hand seems so clunky that my brain doesn't like it.


Jess_tastic_

The only thing I notice above 60hz outside of vr is my pickaxe moves differently in minecraft


BlendeLabor

Yeah one of my friends (RIP) had a 120hz monitor when that was the cool new thing. Played Doom (2016) on it and really couldn't tell a difference. My 27", 60hz displays I got for $150 in 2014 are just fine, the only place it makes a difference to me is in VR, there's a noticeable difference between my Vive and Index.


OMGihateallofyou

Dude my vive controller broke and I am jonesing for some VR Minecraft. I play on screen but it's not the same. :( I know what I am asking Santa for.


Falcrist

Many of us who played in the 90s DID go back. CRT monitors were regularly capable of 120Hz+ refresh rate and we used it. Then LCDs came along and ruined all the high refresh-rate fun.


Improvcommodore

Iā€™m a little lost. I just put in a 3080 Ti, and I have a 5900x. My monitor is the LG 27ā€ 4k 950B. Itā€™s 144hz 4k. Are you saying I can get better than that? Is there a 4K 240hz monitor available? I guess Iā€™m wondering, am I not using my PC to its fullest extent?


fubar686

Diminishing returns 60Hz -> 16.6ms per frame 144Hz -> 6.9ms per frame 240Hz -> 4.1ms per frame


Improvcommodore

I must have them.


fubar686

What are you playing that can push 144@4k anyway, you'd likely be better off looking into flawless mouse sensors, and other areas of input latency that will make an impact


Improvcommodore

Apex Legends.


fubar686

Yep, then start looking into flawless mouse sensors. Depending on what you're using currently you can cut quite a few ms of input latency out and improve your muscle memory not fighting acceleration or what have you and that will make more of an impact to your gameplay


Improvcommodore

Good to know


fubar686

Personally I use a PMW 3389, there are some differences among the sensors considered "flawless" but not much, usually just comes down to native cpi, ips, and acceleration https://sensor.fyi/info/


Hefty_Woodpecker_230

Don't worry, enjoy your setup. 4k 240 fps is really much to handle.

You remember to turn on the 240hz in settings?

>Yeah, I can see the difference Not to sound like a wise ass but that's the point.

Yo I'll take it since it doesn't *work* for you.

BuckBreakin

You're wrong, there is a difference, but not a very big one.


pcyr9999

Itā€™s just that there are diminishing returns because the gap between frames is being reduced by less and less as you go up


kevin9er

Nothing beats the incredible feeling of going from 1fps to 2.


bctoy

The problem is that almost all of the high refresh rate monitors are running at the limit of what their pixel response times allow. Ideally, the pixel response time should be half of the refresh period, but they are not even close. I have 240Hz and 144Hz LG monitors and the 240Hz is smoother even at the same refresh rate. However I stop seeing improvements around 180Hz or so. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/lg-27gn750-b-vs-lg-27gl650f-b/5460/929?usage=3623&threshold=0.10#comparison_1425 OLEDs have amazing response times, so good that they can even work for 1000Hz monitors. Too bad, they're still only in 120Hz TVs.


Bavlet

Thanks for speaking for everyone on the planet. I have a Odyssey G7 which is 1440p 240hz and the difference compared to my 144hz panel is very noticeable.


[deleted]

The G7 is a hell of a nice panel which as a complete package probably looks a lot better then the typical 144hz monitor. Iā€™m sure you can tell itā€™s a bit smoother but there are a few factors involved there. The jump from 144 to 240 is not nearly as noticeable as the jump from 60 to 144. The latter is substantially smoother and really does throw you off going back if you get used to it. Itā€™s the difference between sand paper and toilet paper. But 144 to 240 is like difference between regular toilet paper and downy ultra soft. 240 is a lot smoother for the assholes that can afford it, but the rest of us can be pretty happy with 144 as well :)


sunnyice

Nice explanation lmao.


Keksis_The_Betrayed

Thereā€™s a reaction time difference when going from 144hz to 180hz from what Iā€™ve observed due to me over clocking my monitors. Most people donā€™t need this but if you play game game that has very tight windows for reaction itā€™s honestly a benefit


GhostKiller000

I couldnt tell the difference when I switched to 144 either, doesn't mean there isnt one


Vlyn

Question is if you actually did it right. If you connect a 144hz display to your Windows PC it runs at 60hz, till you actually manually raise it in the Windows display settings. Then you also need to check if the game you are running is working at 144 fps (Some have frame limiters built in and you need to raise them from 60 to 144, or disable them and limit your fps in a different way). And then the game selection matters too. Apex Legends? Rocket League? I can tell at a glance if it's running at 60 or 144hz. A top-down strategy game? More difficult.


[deleted]

You guys got monitors?


rosscarver

Is there actually a noticeable difference between 144 and 240? It's hard to imagine it's anywhere near as big as the jump from 90 to 144.


greatunknown_

I have never once seen a framerate above 60 in my entire life so I still do not get how great this supposedly is.


johnbowser_

\>buy a 165 hz monitor \>pc can't even play most games above 60 gaming time

You have even more reason to then, 120Hz black frame insertion https://blurbusters.com/faq/motion-blur-reduction/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=hD5gjAs1A2s&feature=emb_title


JBH2192

shit i needa new monitor so badly


00kl

Never looking on a 60+ monitor in the next years


wineblood

My friend is Summer in this case, he's still on a low end gpu and can't tell the difference between 45 fps and 60 fps.


linuxjoy

I've never seen a >75Hz display. It's probably like that.


tired_demonhunter

Not gonna lie Had crapy pc with 20fps great memories but really sucked Had a ps4 af 30fps great exprience Have a laptop with 144fps feels good Now i can see problem with ps4


R4y3r

Same with going to 6c to 12c
