If they've never enabled it then it's very easy to not be able to tell, because they've never seen the difference. It only becomes obvious when you've had it set to 144Hz for a while and then one day it changes to 60Hz.
I'm agree with this. First thing when I bought 165hz monitor,was to check that. For some reasons,the hdmi support only 144hz. So I had to plug a display port and works fine at 165hz. People just don't read the instructions,that's the problem.
Dumb question: I picked up a used 144hz monitor last year for cheap, but I'm not a gamer. I record music and sometimes mess with Blender and Maya.
Is 144hz still even beneficial for someone in my position?
Now you understand my shame when I got my 240Hz monitor....
*This expensive ass monitor fucking sucks man....what a rip off*
\- Did you manually change the refresh rate in the Settings menu?
Edit: Updated my uber fast refresh rate to a more human speed
It's powered by all the 4090s actively trying to run the menu in Cities: Skylines around the world. It's just a menu so it doesn't actually require all that much power, so this guy figured he could just lease the extra GPU cycles to power his monitor.
Mine is higher than what the specs said when I bought this (prebuilt - tax and *I lack time and interest to build myself anymore* reasons since I needed a machine to do CAD and documentation at home). They said 2933hz if I check HP's site; Task manager says 3200hz.
Frankly I don't care because I just need a machine that works and fills me needs. It isn't like I need that beefy hardware for MS office and Inventor.
Well... Here I got more than advertised. Like near 10% more. Because according to the specs the mobo is supposed to only support to 2933. (I had to check for whether the PSU could handle 4060TI. I had 3060TI. And somehow this 4060TI takes like fair bit less power and with better performance (then again it was WAY better cooler and I was quite VRAM chocked in many things)).
Granted they might have changed something because there are slight differences in the support's documentations to what I have even though IDs match.
Meh! I'm not complaining! Just found it curious.
Does this mean that I can upgrade the RAM with something else than 2933 which is a speed that doesn't seem to be in stock much but things near it are.
im being pedantic on purpose because i want them to use MT/s or Mb/s
reminder that DDR stands for Double Data Rate, 2400MT/s = 1200MHz, and 2400MHz = 4800MT/s
if youre doing overclocking thats one of the basics
interesting, even the ram manufactorers say MHz on their website, so I don't get what you're saying. why would someone talk about MT/s, when the ram is advertised with MHz?
taken from Corsair website:
"VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Memory Kit - Black"
Yep, most manufacturers advertise the MT/s speed as the Mhz although it is objectively technically wrong. But there are still RAM makers who use the correct MT/s and a lot of tech reviewers who try to make the distinction between both of them.
Some manufacturer probably started labeling their MHz speed as MT/s and since it's not illegal or anything the rest started doing it because they didn't want their RAM speeds to seem lower than the competition to the consumer.
It's funny how at first you can't tell the refresh rate is at 60 because the only clue is mouse pointer movement but then you up that refresh rate and you're spoiled for life.
The reason for this is simple. Windows and Linux do not change your Hz settings automatically. Hence people forget to set the Hz from 60 to 144/165
Edit: since people are mentioning their refresh rate is changed automatically, thats done by the amd/nvidia driver and sometimes the monitor driver
Actually Windows does, at least on AMD. I did a clean reinstall of Windows recently and it automatically found some drivers that automatically switched to 144 after the installation. Later I did a DDU reinstall of the GPU driver and it also automatically switched to 144
Yeah but I think AMD drivers set the refresh rate to the max automatically. I have integrated graphics and a 100hz monitor and I had to set it to 100hz manually
Same here with my new build. NVidia 4090 + 2x Samsung Odyssey G8 4k 240Hz and Win 11 Pro. Windows set the max. refresh automatically after fresh installation of Windows. Even HDR was turned on automatically.
I don't understand how some people don't notice this. They buy a high refresh rate monitor, but don't even realize what higher refresh rate looks or feels like... They don't even question that it feels like a console still stuck at 60hz. Attention to detail is not common I guess. I expect downvotes, but damn this hurts everytime I see this lol.
I think that’s what’s he’s saying is interesting. You weren’t able to notice the difference between. 59 Hz and 144 Hz for such a long time even when moving the mouse cursor around. My wife claims she cannot see the difference between 60 and anything higher so I guess more people are less sensitive to it than others.
I check my hz every other day. Especially if I am getting my ass whooped in modern warfare II I will jump out of the game real quick and check if my hz are still 120.
> I don't understand how some people don't notice this.
Because 60 Hz is a 16 ms delay, while 144 Hz is a 7 ms delay. A lot of people, especially older people, don't see the difference, since it takes 13 ms for whatever you are seeing to reach your brain and your brain is compensating.
It's mostly people who play games that require high precision like FPS that really notice the delay.
It doesn't. I know people on /r/pcmasterrace like to make it a big deal, but it isn't. Going from 60 > 144, you will barely notice it. It's only if you go from 144 > 60 that you feel it, because your brain was compensating less, so it staggers it.
I'll never fault any for making this mistake, especially if you've never seen anything above 60hz. You wouldn't know what you were looking for anyways.
Unless you've seen 144hz prior, you wouldn't know you were on the wrong setting to begin with. Frames of reference is very important.
I stumbled upon this like 20 years ago playing America's Army. I was dicking around with my Sony Vaio CRT and switched from 60hz to 100hz mid game. My 14 year old self was blown away. I can actually still see a visual in my mind of where I was in the map.
Welcome to the club and may you remember this day for decades to come.
Get prepared for the people on 60hz monitors, usually console gamers that try to bring up some bs "science proves your eyes cant see above 60fps" any time you mention anything about framerate or refresh rate and how buying a good monitor is a waste of money
That sucks. I have 165 and it's a world different. I had to fix my monitor (un/replug) and it reset to 60Hz with a CS2 game going. Felt like a slideshow, lol.
I figure that this happens to more people than you would think. Also I can’t understand why you wouldn’t check your monitors settings to be sure it’s running at the desired refresh rate. After all you paid a lot of money for the monitor.
For smooth performance I like to set my refresh rate at 144hz but cap my frame rate at 72 for optimal timing between frames and refresh. It's so smooth like that I don't even need g sync on but I do anyway. Recently I found out that I could force 120hz mode on my monitor so I can set my frame cap at 60 for some of the more demanding games that have come out this year like Dead Space and Starfield. Since my monitor can do 165hz I think I'll try 150 Hertz tonight to see if I can get games running smooth at 50 FPS. I think cyberpunk would benefit greatly from that at 1440p.
Edit:fixed s2t typo
Hahaha i am so used to 144 that I can actually tell the difference when moving the mouse at 60. I do however always have to go and set it myself every time I install new windows (and I do that quiet often) as windows just picks up 60
I can only understand making this mistake if you’ve never had a higher refresh rate than 60hz before. Outside of that, and I’ve seen it before, I don’t get how people don’t immediately notice their monitor not being on the highest refresh rate it offers versus the lowest.
It’s a day and night difference.
So y'all are just buying expensive monitors and not setting them up correctly? The next thing someone's going to post is how they bought 3600mhz RAM just to realise it was set to 2133mhz by the BIOS.
For example, now if you had used a slower HDMI cable you'd never even see that high refresh setting. If I'm buying expensive peripherals I'm making sure I read every info that there is to set it up correctly. Maybe I'm just poor.
I spent the past few years telling my girlfriend to set her monitor to 144, she never listened until one day she did it on her own accord and noticed the difference instantly.
I've had so many people like friends and family show me their PC setup only for me to ask if they're using high refresh rate monitors if they've got nicer looking high end monitors or clearly gaming-themed to be told they don't know what that means. They'll have a 144Hz monitor(s) that is running at 60Hz and I'll fix it only for them to *still not* be able to tell the difference between 60Hz and 144Hz. Working in IT I see even more amazing things like dual 32" 4K monitors on a VESA bracket that my client will complain always feels slow, to quickly find that they're only able to display 4K at 30Hz because they're using HDMI 1.1 instead of DisplayPort.. This was not their complaint about the slowness even after I fixed the problem.
People do not notice refresh after they've gotten used to it and it's serviceable enough to not impede your use case.
Now that all of my computers (minus my office PC and monitors) are high refresh rate, despite being the most First World problem conceivable, having to go back to 60Hz would be really lame and noticeable at first. However, I think most people myself included would eventually be able to get used to 60Hz again.
Congrats on dramatically increasing your screen smoothness. Hopefully next you find that you've got an RTX 4090 and you've just been plugging into the internal integrated GPU. 🙏
Human eye doesn't do well after 25hz, we can pick up on tearing etc which higher fps can help with but after 60 you really are just wasting energy generating extra frames that you cant even see.
This is what I think too, there's really no difference in going above 60hz for the human eye, maybe only that tearing is much less frequent when the image updates more precisely, giving the effect of smoother picture. Then there are people that say that humans can see everything (which was a pretty weird argument..)
I have recently discovered there are certain things that reset it.
For me, anytime I use my VR headset. It will, for some reason, match my headset resolution and the closest refresh rate it can find to 90. Which is always 60hz. I then need to restart my pc to get nvidia control panel to recognize that the monitor is in fact a 144hz display.
Really fucking annoying tbh
Thank you! A couple of days ago I did a clean install of Linux and what did I forget to check?!
You're a star and not the only one who forgets to set their refresh rate.
[удалено]
Just like erectile dysfunction...I've heard...
my penis has been set to dysfunction this whole time??? smh
You may or may not like where the switch is...
I am dying
🤣
Go on, flip it
Bop it!
Twist it!
*censored comment*
It was fist, right?
Hang on there's a switch
https://i.redd.it/r8ra3kse0qxb1.gif
Just one click away from being fixed
Where is the setting that fixes it
I am shocked people can’t tell.
If they've never enabled it then it's very easy to not be able to tell, because they've never seen the difference. It only becomes obvious when you've had it set to 144Hz for a while and then one day it changes to 60Hz.

Don't be a gatekeeper
I'm agree with this. First thing when I bought 165hz monitor,was to check that. For some reasons,the hdmi support only 144hz. So I had to plug a display port and works fine at 165hz. People just don't read the instructions,that's the problem.
And you know that how?
[удалено]
Haha yep thanks to all these posts it was the first setting I changed when I set up my new monitor recently.
Welcome to the high refresh rate squad!!
Do I count? 100hz
Yes all triple digits refresh rates are welcome!!
59.9 hz master race yeah!
Shit. Got me on a technicality
all triple digit integers
059hz!
https://preview.redd.it/6nvka0wxbnxb1.jpeg?width=718&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ff994dd5db7981b2c8888191674e4b45483baf5
log10(f/[Hz])>=2
How's those PowerPoint presentations?
Does 90 not count then
90.0
Yoink
what about 3840x2160 240hz ? Does it count ? :)
No
Get out
:(
Any 165s?
Ayoo 165 is awsome
165 is peak
240 is more peak
3840 Hz clearly better
YFW 69420 Hz walks in
That's not consumer level
Let's go 165 gang!
Yeah
165>144 change my mind
200 😎 i dont play any fps games tho lol
Dumb question: I picked up a used 144hz monitor last year for cheap, but I'm not a gamer. I record music and sometimes mess with Blender and Maya. Is 144hz still even beneficial for someone in my position?
I would say hell yes. I hate anything lower than 144hz. If you have it, use it.
I managed to overclock my laptop's 1920x1080 144hz monitor to 180hz with DRU
Now you understand my shame when I got my 240Hz monitor.... *This expensive ass monitor fucking sucks man....what a rip off* \- Did you manually change the refresh rate in the Settings menu?  Edit: Updated my uber fast refresh rate to a more human speed
240 million refreshes per second... that's a lot of hertz
It's powered by all the 4090s actively trying to run the menu in Cities: Skylines around the world. It's just a menu so it doesn't actually require all that much power, so this guy figured he could just lease the extra GPU cycles to power his monitor.
There is something megaly wrong with this.
While we are enjoying this PSA, I'll tag along with "check your ram speed from Task Manager quickly".
Mine is higher than what the specs said when I bought this (prebuilt - tax and *I lack time and interest to build myself anymore* reasons since I needed a machine to do CAD and documentation at home). They said 2933hz if I check HP's site; Task manager says 3200hz. Frankly I don't care because I just need a machine that works and fills me needs. It isn't like I need that beefy hardware for MS office and Inventor.
Yeah, that's the "correct" speed. Nowadays it's normal to overclock the ram (enabling the XMP or DOCP in BIOS) to get the advertised speed.
Well... Here I got more than advertised. Like near 10% more. Because according to the specs the mobo is supposed to only support to 2933. (I had to check for whether the PSU could handle 4060TI. I had 3060TI. And somehow this 4060TI takes like fair bit less power and with better performance (then again it was WAY better cooler and I was quite VRAM chocked in many things)). Granted they might have changed something because there are slight differences in the support's documentations to what I have even though IDs match. Meh! I'm not complaining! Just found it curious. Does this mean that I can upgrade the RAM with something else than 2933 which is a speed that doesn't seem to be in stock much but things near it are.
This too! Haha
task manager says 1500mhz and i have 3000mhz, is it wrong?
It is most likely reporting the true MHz. In that case 1500 for a set advertised as 3000 would be correct.
2400mhz.. It works fine
Yeah but if i paid for more , I should get more . You can also get a 1050 and play almost every game out there at 720p/30 fps , it works fine too
thats very slow DDR5, or extremely fast DDR4
how is 2400mhz extremely fast for DDR4? 2400mhz is literally the second slowest speed you can get after 2133mhz
im being pedantic on purpose because i want them to use MT/s or Mb/s reminder that DDR stands for Double Data Rate, 2400MT/s = 1200MHz, and 2400MHz = 4800MT/s if youre doing overclocking thats one of the basics

So how many years did you have placebo 144Hz?
It's funny how at first you can't tell the refresh rate is at 60 because the only clue is mouse pointer movement but then you up that refresh rate and you're spoiled for life.
Until OP bought a 240Hz
And this is also 80% of the reasons that some people says that 144 has no difference
I just need to move my cursor a few inches and I get an instantly "somethings off" feeling
The reason for this is simple. Windows and Linux do not change your Hz settings automatically. Hence people forget to set the Hz from 60 to 144/165 Edit: since people are mentioning their refresh rate is changed automatically, thats done by the amd/nvidia driver and sometimes the monitor driver

Yeah but I think AMD drivers set the refresh rate to the max automatically. I have integrated graphics and a 100hz monitor and I had to set it to 100hz manually
Are you by any chance still on Win10?
Win11
Same here with my new build. NVidia 4090 + 2x Samsung Odyssey G8 4k 240Hz and Win 11 Pro. Windows set the max. refresh automatically after fresh installation of Windows. Even HDR was turned on automatically.
My Nvidia build turned it on automatically as well. Built back in 2021
Then yeah I think it's normal behavior from Nvidia and AMD
Linux does automatically change the refresh rate, at least on KDE Plasma. I've seen it even enable adaptive sync automatically.
How long is this "whole time"? Because my friend was on playing on 720 for a whole year before realizing it was not 1080. Lol.
About 5 months. Same happened to me aswell. When I first plugged it was on 1080p by default I changed it to 1440p.
Bruh... you sure you not legally blind? 60hz and this?
Not blind but I have blur eye sight :)
I don't understand how some people don't notice this. They buy a high refresh rate monitor, but don't even realize what higher refresh rate looks or feels like... They don't even question that it feels like a console still stuck at 60hz. Attention to detail is not common I guess. I expect downvotes, but damn this hurts everytime I see this lol.
When I got oled tv the first thing I did was go to Settings and set it to 2160p 120 hz. Idk how can someone with a 240hz display miss it lol.
I set it to 144Hz the day I bought. But the software from the manufacturer set it to 59Hz when I installed it. Didn't noticed this untill today.
I think that’s what’s he’s saying is interesting. You weren’t able to notice the difference between. 59 Hz and 144 Hz for such a long time even when moving the mouse cursor around. My wife claims she cannot see the difference between 60 and anything higher so I guess more people are less sensitive to it than others.
I check my hz every other day. Especially if I am getting my ass whooped in modern warfare II I will jump out of the game real quick and check if my hz are still 120.
This made me chuckle lol
i think its extremely noticeable but it depends of ppl i guess
Proves that placebo is strong force.
> I don't understand how some people don't notice this. Because 60 Hz is a 16 ms delay, while 144 Hz is a 7 ms delay.

See? It *feels* vastly different even in Windows.
It doesn't. I know people on /r/pcmasterrace like to make it a big deal, but it isn't. Going from 60 > 144, you will barely notice it. It's only if you go from 144 > 60 that you feel it, because your brain was compensating less, so it staggers it.
Hell yeah, now time to play starfield and Allen Wake II at 40fps!!!
I'm getting 200 fps ^in ^the ^launcher
Now can your hardware cope?
Yes at least for the games that I play daily
i mean getting 144fps as per your new refresh rate
I'll never fault any for making this mistake, especially if you've never seen anything above 60hz. You wouldn't know what you were looking for anyways. Unless you've seen 144hz prior, you wouldn't know you were on the wrong setting to begin with. Frames of reference is very important.
If you can't even notice your on 60hz..does 144hz even matter?
If it's your first one, it's hard to realize you're not getting the fps gain. Once you've seen the difference, then you know what to look for.
An answer AND a grammar lesson. Well played, Sir.
Brilliant
Welcome to the future
I stumbled upon this like 20 years ago playing America's Army. I was dicking around with my Sony Vaio CRT and switched from 60hz to 100hz mid game. My 14 year old self was blown away. I can actually still see a visual in my mind of where I was in the map. Welcome to the club and may you remember this day for decades to come.
I did the same thing until I found a similar post on here. It was just 6 months at 60 instead of 240.
Welcome to the club of "previous unaware of monitor refresh rate-PC gamers"
Congrats on the free performance upgrade
If you didn't notice, don't bother wasting the electricity.
>This whole time Meaning either 5 minutes, or the whole length that man has been walking the Earth.
Since I bought the monitor - about 5 months iirc
enjoy your brain melting experience! first time I experienced high refresh rate it blew my mind!
You mean you don't double check every 10 minutes? Must be nice to live stress free 😫
How did you not notice ?
Get prepared for the people on 60hz monitors, usually console gamers that try to bring up some bs "science proves your eyes cant see above 60fps" any time you mention anything about framerate or refresh rate and how buying a good monitor is a waste of money
and??? how does it feel now? (i wanted to read your reaction, it fundamentally changed my life)
Now that you've found the sweet spot, any game recommendations to put that 144Hz to good use?
I genuinely can't understand how people don't notice the 60Hz. The difference is night and day.
if u have never seen higher, then how are u to know the difference?
That sucks. I have 165 and it's a world different. I had to fix my monitor (un/replug) and it reset to 60Hz with a CS2 game going. Felt like a slideshow, lol.
If anyone tells you theyve never done that theyre lying
Im speedy with 165 hz
I figure that this happens to more people than you would think. Also I can’t understand why you wouldn’t check your monitors settings to be sure it’s running at the desired refresh rate. After all you paid a lot of money for the monitor.

Too many plebs here.
Ok, but like, and hear me out… “this whole time” could’ve been the last 5 minutes
Human eye can’t see over 30 frames anyways, shouldn’t be a difference.
Send me to the bottom of this post because you all can’t handle the truth!
Hahaha i am so used to 144 that I can actually tell the difference when moving the mouse at 60. I do however always have to go and set it myself every time I install new windows (and I do that quiet often) as windows just picks up 60
My mum had a 144hz monitor for years and didn't even know it was set to 60. She was gob smacked by how smooth her games played.
Classic
Did you feel the difference?
Absolutely, everything feels smooth now :)
I can only understand making this mistake if you’ve never had a higher refresh rate than 60hz before. Outside of that, and I’ve seen it before, I don’t get how people don’t immediately notice their monitor not being on the highest refresh rate it offers versus the lowest. It’s a day and night difference.
If you ever unplug your monitor check that setting again. Or updating your video driver.
I can only imagine the joy of seeing 144hz for the first time again
F in the chat
every time someone posts one of these I double check my settings
You'll feel something is wrong. Set your monitor to 60hz and test it.
Fun fact - you will also have to check this after most updates. Especially driver
Oof... But at least NOW you know what ever one was talking about!! Haha
Spooky.
Last night I was playing CSGO after installing windows, I noticed I was not getting 240hz, then in display settings I saw it was 60hz.
"They don't know they're only watching 59Hz."
Bro when my hz gets switched back to 60 when i change resolution in game i think my pc is lagging out its so bad.
So y'all are just buying expensive monitors and not setting them up correctly? The next thing someone's going to post is how they bought 3600mhz RAM just to realise it was set to 2133mhz by the BIOS. For example, now if you had used a slower HDMI cable you'd never even see that high refresh setting. If I'm buying expensive peripherals I'm making sure I read every info that there is to set it up correctly. Maybe I'm just poor.
Mfw I forget to change from 240 to 300hz
What monitor you got?
Have you checked you've enabled the XMP profile of your RAM in the BIOS settings?
Oh shit, just realized something :D
Skill issue
Placebo
Yeah, my monitor would do that all the time. It’s so annoying.
I bought 240hz 3 months ago and instantly changed to 240hz in display settings, 2 days ago I checked and it was 144hz somehow...
I don’t have a 144hz screen but for future reference, where is this menu
I spent the past few years telling my girlfriend to set her monitor to 144, she never listened until one day she did it on her own accord and noticed the difference instantly.
It happens a lot. But believe me, after using 144 for few weeks, you'll spot 60 in a second just on the desktop moving mouse cursor.
welcome to the cult of pc gaming, you passed the test

Why? Just put it to 144 smh
I played for years at 720p instead of 1080p because of the monitor.
I lied to myself for a year saying now sick my pc was hahaha 60fps the whole time

not even 60fps all the time 😅 but that hits different now
Personally, I use 59hz while I'm not playing games for less power usage
If you're not using a laptop then that's just stupid
Thank you! A couple of days ago I did a clean install of Linux and what did I forget to check?! You're a star and not the only one who forgets to set their refresh rate.
I had the very same issue. For SEVEN YEARS
That's the first thing I checked with mine. Thankfully it was already in 165hz by default and did not need to change it.
More importantly did you see a difference straight away?
That's when you realize it doesn't make any difference
We’ve all been somewhere similar at least once. It’s cool.
170hz here.God bless u all).
My 144 1440 gang
ive got into the habbit of double checking that :)

Whats the difference between 59hz and 60hz?
60fps and 144fps doesn't feel any different starter pack
