Thats wrong man lol sorry but take a screenshot before any hacks of your Resolution in CCC, note in Refresh rate if 60hz is the max then that is the max your display will run at..
It is what it is nothing in between or higher.. 30fps will still be 60hz, 30fps will still be 144hz..

90fps in your case will still be 60hz nothing more nothing less.

The only way you can be running mixed Refresh rate would be with Gsync or Freesync this is what it does that you trying to say your None freesync or Gsync display is doing..

Fair enough Shanks

I still maintain that i get little screen tearing in BF4 at 90 FPS.

I think this argument is pointless, people look at one or two screens, don't like it and think one or two is a representation of all.

As i keep saying it depends on the screen, as a Star Citizen player on both TN and IPS i'm looking at the IPS and asking "What Glow?????"

Some TN Panel's are better than others, the same goes for IPS, thats a fact with absolutely everything in life.

Then you should clarify your posts to say "my TN" instead of making crass generalisations. It does also sound like your tn could benefit from a bit of gamma reduction in the gpu control panel

Yeah and that I can 100% agree with.. But that is because of you not the display

You used to seeing what you seeing! Go look for screen tear and you notice it big time..

That's the great thing about high refresh rate it does indeed hide the the screen tear much more because how fast the display is refreshing.. But sadly it still isn't the be all to end all tearing.. That's why we getting new tech like Gsync/FreeSync.

I look for it all the time, i hate it. its why i lock it to 90, i never said there is no screen tearing, i said there was very little.

In anycase it looks like 120hz IPS Free-Sync screens are coming to market so i know what i'm getting.

One thing I hate about IPS displays is having to mess with overdrive settings.
Anyone who plays FM or fifa will know what I mean.

You are probably getting loads but just used to it, so you accept it. What IPS do you have?

He is wrong in the respect that a 60Hz display will run anything different when set to 60Hz but there are a good number of 60Hz panels that you can manually "overclock" or tweak to run at higher refresh rates.

I usually run 125fps cap/120Hz without vsync and it minimises the perception of tearing considerably, aside from areas with lots of parallel lines and cut scenes with slow panning where it can be quite obvious - its quite obvious what effect it has as dropping the fps cap to around or at 120 will result in hideous rippling on the screen :S

Is humbug making stuff up again?
Minimum refresh rate. LOL.

Though obviously I'm fully aware of "overclocking" monitor, used to run my own at 72hz.

Get a bit of tearing on bf4 even when using an fps limit of 60. But not that bothered by it tbh.

Some of it is the game rather than the screen.

You're spot on there.

Yer, I remember that monitor from a few years back and it got a good rating. For a 22" 1080P, it does a grand job I expect.

It's served me well but it's getting a bit long in the tooth now, about time for a replacement.

I almost grabbed it, as it was really cheap but I grabbed the Acer 24" TN instead. Not a bad picture on that either but it had a gloss screen and the sun streaming through the windows made it almost impossible to see anything on-screen

Ha..., the LG has the opposite problem, they put so much Anti Glare on it so it actually distorted the image slightly.

luckily using a cloth with warm soapy water to clean it it wasn't too long before is wore off the screen.

The only thing i really don't like about it are the touch sensitive controls, other than missing the tactile sense of a mechanical button the touch sensitive buttons are marked with a gray dot thats difficult to see in light thats anything other than direct sunlight.

Wonder if/when we will see VA panels with gsync/freesync? I've always preferred theese to TN or IPS.

That's what I'd like too

My screen being anciently probably doesn't help either lol. Cant afford a replacement at the moment either.

Some of you here act as if you don't understand how business works. Of course Nvidia want to lock you into a product, that's how you make more money. Jeez.
