I believe some of the people posting this nonsense truly think so.
Considering 4chin is a cesspool of genetic failures a lot of of you might truly be unable to tell difference.
And of course there will always be coping poorgays with their 15yo samsung/lg monitors
going from 30hz to 60hz is a huge jump
going from 60hz to 144hz is still a big jump, just not as big as 30>60
I can't comment on anything higher as I have not experienced higher
144hz to 240hz is noticeable but nowhere near as noticeable as 60 to 144
i have a 240hz ips and would be perfectly fine going back to 144hz. never going back to 60 though
there's a noticeable improvement and if nothing else makes you not strain your eyes as much, definitively worth buying especially since they are cheap nowadays
Depends on the game, it's usually a negligible difference from what I've played. I like the clarity of 1440p, it makes players super easy to see in fps games.
I played a LAN event at a venue with 240Hz monitors, there is diminishing returns there since realistically things are smooth enough past 120Hz where it makes a slight difference.
It's not a meme. It refreshes the screen more than two times a 60hz screen does. On a functional level, especially for FPS games the difference is massive. In this day and age it is basically a requirement if you want to play competiitive FPS games. The only visible downside is that the majority of 144hz monitors, since most of them are made for gaming, have awful colors. Nobody says this and I found out when I bought mine. You have to play with the settings a lot, and even then it's not great if you want to watch movies for example. Maybe this is no longer the case, but back when I played FPS games it was a problem for almost every 144hz monitor. But overall it is a definite upgrade and if you play any video game that requires a video card, you should buy it.
t. used a 144hz display for 5+ years, then sold it after I stopped playing FPS games and switched to a laptop.
Honestly, no clue. I'd imagine it's more or less the same, but from my experience stores just sell 144hz, so I don't know how you'd be able to get your hands on one. Keep in mind your frame rate on average needs to be bigger than your refresh rate. If your frame rate is 60-85 on average, there's no point in getting a 144hz as you will experience horrific screen tearing and having to use sync to compensate, which kind defeats the purpose of a 144hz monitor to begin with.
I don't really game at fps higher than 60, however, I can see the difference from 60 to 120 on my desktop just moving my mouse. So yes. I'd assume there is a noticeable difference.
doubling the refresh rate from 60 to something above 120 absolutely makes a difference, even for average joe. 60 isn't bad at all, but play on 120 long enough and you'll feel like 60fps feels weird and wrong
144 specifically seems like some kind of a "above 120" number that was picked for no specific reason, i guess 144 has two sharp-looking numbers so it looks cool
144hz is excellent, but it will obviously require a lot more from the hardware. For older games it makes no difference, but when you start playing newer games, playing at 144hz instead of 60hz is the difference between your GPU staying at an acceptable temperature and running the fans at 90% speed all the time to try and maintain a temperature that doesn't harm the system. Besides, even my RTX3090 can barely maintain 60fps in new games (even at 1440p), so to get at least 120fps you need to significantly compromise the graphics.
No wonder NVidia, an AI corporation, is selling its shitty gimmicks of fake resolution and fake framerates. Basically, it's impossible to play anything at true 4k/144hz, unless they're games released 15 years ago or more.
>Do they actually make a difference for FPS games?
yes?
though i'd say when you reach approximately 85fps you're in the sweet zone where it's smooth enough already as long as you don't have stutter
144fps is even more smooth but it doesn't feel 70% smoother than 85fps like the numbers would tell you, it's more like 30% smoother
the problem with getting used to high framerates is that when you get forced to use 60fps later, it'll feel like you're watching a slideshow

anyone using an oled yet? kinda want one but a little concerned with the apparent fringing issues windows seems to have, as i'd be doing all my work on it too

they make a difference for literally everything
only complete contrarian morons buy 60hz displays in current year
they are a big step up and they are worth it, plus they are cheap
1440p@144Hz is the absolute sweet spot at the moment. As people have said, it makes everything super smooth, not just FPS. It makes 60fps look choppy.
1440p is an absolute meme that eats performance for negligible gains, it even makes native 1080p media look blurry
It is 2024. Surely you can google this shit by now as it is 15 year old tech.
There's no noticeable difference to the human eye after 60 Hz you morons
>He didn't overclock his brain
Upgrade your eyes, dummy
you're poor and coping
AHAHAHHAHA
60hz literally unplayable
It's a slideshow. Deal with it, poorgay.

The eyes translates physical light into an image, it doesnt do it by frame, it does it by photon. Our eyes arent hard capped at 60 fps moron.
going from 30hz to 60hz is a huge jump
going from 60hz to 144hz is still a big jump, just not as big as 30>60
I can't comment on anything higher as I have not experienced higher
I have a 240hz monitor for CS2 only (19,5k rating), for single player games it's not necessary
144hz to 240hz is noticeable but nowhere near as noticeable as 60 to 144
i have a 240hz ips and would be perfectly fine going back to 144hz. never going back to 60 though
>is better technology a meme
Yes, just accept it as "white magic" and praise the pale skin tribe.
Unga bunga.
there's a noticeable improvement and if nothing else makes you not strain your eyes as much, definitively worth buying especially since they are cheap nowadays
Low latency and adaptive framerate synchronization like gSync and freeSync are more important than Hz.
Don't buy one. If you do it will ruin every 60hz display for you forever.
and that's a good thing
1440p144hz for general gaming. Higher refresh rates for competitive fps (only if you are actually good and plan on competing at the highest level)
Depends on the game, it's usually a negligible difference from what I've played. I like the clarity of 1440p, it makes players super easy to see in fps games.

after tasting 360hz, 240hz feels noticeably sluggish
>tfw 2 1440p monitors at 165hz
Jumping from 30-60 fps to 165 gave me a headache playing my old games but the speed is so worth it.
Even on your fricking desktop it makes a difference
Anything in which you use a mouse.

What about 120hz.
Honestly, no clue. I'd imagine it's more or less the same, but from my experience stores just sell 144hz, so I don't know how you'd be able to get your hands on one. Keep in mind your frame rate on average needs to be bigger than your refresh rate.

I have a 120hz TV and a 144hz monitor. The difference between 120 and 144 is completely imperceptible in the vast majority of circumstances.
144hz is rad. 1440p doesn't matter. Resolution isn't as important as framerate and never will be.
I don't really game at fps higher than 60, however, I can see the difference from 60 to 120 on my desktop just moving my mouse. So yes. I'd assume there is a noticeable difference.
homie we're on 500hz now why are you stuck in 2015??????????????????????
DOES Ganker ACTUALLY PLAY VIDEO GASMES???
WHY WOULD YOU MAKE SHIS THREAD
BROOOO IMN DEAD :'))
1080p is standard
1440p is for enthusiasts
Anything else is a meme
Nah it's 1080p for poorgays and plebs
1440p is standard
4k is for morons
>1440p is standard
Idk about 144hz, I have a 90hz monitor on my gaymen craptop and it's much smoother and pleasant to use due to the extra refresh rate
I have a peanut brain, is fps capped by hz? Like, I can't get 120fps in a 75hz monitor right?
you can get any fps but you wont get the true advantage of them without higher hz monitors
doubling the refresh rate from 60 to something above 120 absolutely makes a difference, even for average joe. 60 isn't bad at all, but play on 120 long enough and you'll feel like 60fps feels weird and wrong
144 specifically seems like some kind of a "above 120" number that was picked for no specific reason, i guess 144 has two sharp-looking numbers so it looks cool
144 is a multiple of 24, the common refresh rate for movies.

>Are they a meme?
no
>Do they actually make a difference for FPS games?
FPS games are memes however
4k is more important than 144hz and you can only achieve 4k 144fps in shitty looking old games like csgo.
do you homies have your monitors across the room or something? my viewing distance is <50cm so 27" is about as big as I can tolerate
Most people don't sit at the correct distance for their screen and Ganker especially gets angry when this is pointed out.

They are night and day. I have a 360hz panel and I notice the difference from 240. Not nearly as significant as the jump from 60 to 144hz however.
540Hz is when the UFO become clearly visible.
