Just set games to 144hz using in game options and desktop to 120

That easy? Great!!

Games will over-ride desktop then?

It did when I had my Swift - still applies I hope

Nice one, will try thanks (although I think now Gsync disables itself if fps exceed the 144fps. No obvious tearing though)

Set Rivatuner to 144 or just below (read that some where)

Gsync/High Hz is *awesome*

40" 4K or go home

hang on, how do you do that? whats riva tuner?

so i set desktop to 120hz and gaming at 144hz, good idea, how do i implement it?

ha ha i tried a 37 inch 4k, and I did not like it, honestly visually I saw no difference between 2560x1440 and 4k resolutions, hence why I prefer GSYNC at 144, it looks like 4k to me without the tearing and low fps

You using AB or Precision?

Ali, using Rivatuner to set just below refresh rate is a "trick" for Gsync monitors, and is pointless for non Gsync.

Also, does your card maintain 3D clocks when in idle? Mine does, and it appears to be an annoying Win10 issue. I've set my fan curve to 40% minimum as a workaround.

Couldn't stand the tearing

Run yours at a higher rate yet? Mine ran at 70hz no problem :cool:

This is my thinking. If it is, set 120Hz on the desktop and that will lower the clocks and card temps.

Temps on my GPU dont get higher when using 144hz? they no change vs 60hz or 120hz.

No tearing here and running at 72Hz

Didn't know you had a 980ti

I dont

but its a GPU non the less I didn't know refresh rate effects some cards temps? I not experienced this before.

neither, oh i used firestorm but got rid of it as the fans control do not work, im gonna try precision to see if i can set the fans to run in custom settings...

i have a rog swift gsync monitor, so is there any benefit in that rivatuner software?

I have a 980 ( non TI)27" 144Hz +29" ultrawide monitors, bf4 on ultra ( MSAA set to off), res scale set to 150, play at 1080,FPS around 160, and my card gets to around 64c-ish , and at idle the card sits at around 34c
