144Hz, 240Hz and FPS Question?

[Zaf]

Hi Guys,

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've done some googling and can't seem to find a definite answer.

If I'm only managing 140fps, is a 240Hz Display overkill and waste of money or are there still benefits?

Is there a direct correlation between FPS and Hz?

Thanks in advanced for helping me get my head around this.

Thanks Billy, so if I've understood correctly; If my GPU is outputting 140fps and I've got a 240Hz Monitor with Freesync, it will automatically adjust the Hz to 140Hz matching my fps?

Therefore I'm better off with a 144Hz Display than a 240Hz Display?

Cheers guys

I was basing my decision on Fortnite but, after installing Counter Strike GO I’m getting just over 200fps so will go for 240Hz

My main display is a Dell 27” 1440p IPS with 100% sRGB and Adobe... just limited to 60Hz

Cheers Distracted, thats confirmed my decision!

I’ve narrowed it down to two... which one would you go for, or does it not really matter at this price point?

ViewSonic XG2530
AOC AGON AG251FZ

Only 240hz has almost no blur. 144hz will have blur for me 144hz if it was ok i would buy into it. But its not good enough only at 240hz does magic happen.

Do not buy a 144hz monitor either buy a good 240hz like the AW2518 OR wait for 0.5ms 240hz which i have been doing for over six months.

Not sure if you've read my previous posts but, I've said I'm going with 240Hz and the two monitors I've listed are both 240Hz.
