Bought a 144hz monitor, but no games will use it.

I didn't realise that you didn't have the game installed. Had I known I would not have pressed you as I did. Many thanks for taking that time.

No problem, I was thinking about replaying it anyway.

I still find it odd that the framerate doesn't change no matter what settings you have, the game isn't that unoptimized and as you can see I got a 90 fps increase (benchmark might not represent the actual game) but there should still be a difference.

Can you run the Tomb Raider benchmark with different graphic settings for me?

Big ups to this man, did you really download and install a game just to benchmark for a stranger online? Fantastic, everyone needs a game tech bro like you!

Meanwhile, with my connection, I have an archive of 1TB of game backups from Steam and GOG in case I want to roll them out on any new or different computers, just to avoid having to download anything again because it takes a stupendous amount of time, and my ISP throttles me after like 5 hours of max bandwidth.

Haha thanks! The game is great so I might replay it now when I got it installed.

Yeah, my connection isn't all that great either, I mostly install games while I'm sleeping.

Yes, You need a very powerful PC which has 144Hz refresh rate with 1080p gaming monitor. I have 144Hz gaming monitor and I must say that It is best for gaming. I buy my monitor after seeing the reviews onhttps://gamingbuff.com/best-144hz-monitor/.

Changing global settings to force V-Sync off and Prefer Maximum Performance in your nvidia control panel may help. I'm not overly familiar with 144mhz monitors though, as I built my system for 4k@ 60fps gaming.

Not a lot of game engines support framerates that high. 4k gaming was dragged down by consoles, so 144 gaming is not going to happen for a very long time, if at all. PC might set the standard, but it's consoles that drive gaming.

I don't know where you people get this info from, A LOT of games support +144fps. The only engines I can think of that don't is the Call of Duty engine (Games are capped at 91fps for some reason) and the shitty gamebryo engine for Fallout/skyrim which make the game's physics go bananas.

Games like Rise Of the Tomb Raider, The Division, Dishonored series, GTA series, any Valve game, Witcher 3, Resident Evil series, Battlefield series, Metro series...I could go on forever, support uncapped framerates.

I'm surprised when a game DOESN'T support a uncapped framerate.

Sorry for the late reply.

This is the benchmark ran with your settings, with the exception of DX12 as my Windows 10 drive is serving duty in my spare PC at the moment, and for some reason I am now breaking the 60fps lock I had before.

I then chose the 'Lowest' preset and this was the result.

Thank you very much for all your help. I know I'll have to play around to get the best mix of looks and frames per second, though to be honest Lowest doesn't look too bad, so I'll be using that as my starting point.

Nevermind, I think I may have just found it!!

Framerate topics are always painful because the pretentiousness always seems to outpace the futility of chasing these numbers.

Considering how little the human eye can accurately decipher and react to [http://www.pcgamer.com/how-many-frames-per-second-can-the-human-eye-really-see/], even 120 is overkill. That's not to say we still can't perceive some minuscule differences, but for all practical intents and purposes our egos are getting the better of us.

"Sure, aficionados might be able to tell teeny tiny differences, but for the rest of us it?s like red wine is red wine."

Don't generalize with fake statements, and let aficionados have it their way.

Is it a full HD LED monitor?
