Displayrefresh journal #1248235

by sAs1 • 10 Aug 2008, 18:45 • Journals
I just realised I can run my monitor on 160 hz on my resolution (800x600)

And i play with 125 fps. In the past I've read numerous times people claiming that 120 hertz is the best value if your using 125 fps but is it actually better than using 160 hertz?


Also: Is there any way to tweak hz? As in gain some extra hertz with some program or sum :Þ?




Thanks in advance, sAs

0 ingame = same hz @ desktop.

But if I have r_Displayrefresh 160 ingame, does my desktop value have any affect?

if your hz @ desktop is 160, you can use 0 instead of 160, and the affect is a smoother view

if u set r_displayrefresh ingame, check it with the button on your monitor, but yes if u set it with ET it will also have 160 @ windows

if i set it ingame it makes me lag, even if i set it to the same value as im using @ windows :s

if you have stable 125 fps you should set 120hz or smth like 127hz
more displayrefresh could have been better if only you could set more than 125 fps

use rivatuner, it's the best utility for nvidia gfxcards

Displayrefresh

Frames Per Second

Those two must have something in common if you ask me :G

displayrefresh = fps = maxpackets

100 hertz -> 100 fps -> cl_maxpackets "100"

Just play with the FPS that is closest to your hertz and that would be 125 so 120 hz is perfect. Playing with a lower / higher hertz than your fps (and the other way around) causes lag (you dont see it in your ping/fps, it just LAGS),.. at least with me it does

And hf getting your eyes burned if you do play on 160 hz. And ofc there are programs to tweak your hertz but only in a way which results in a broken monitor.

My eyes hurts at 75hz, never had any probs with high hz.

Never had any probs with that, you prolly went beyond your monitors specs :)

But yeah ur right, theres no point in raising ur displayrefresh above your fps, as some frames will be shown twice whearas you could have one frame every displayrefresh which gives a very smooth feeling.

I remember having sore eyes after raising my hz from 60 to 100 (with my old CRT). And I'm pretty sure that "overclocking" your CRT from 100 hz to lets say 140 hz would make your monitor wear out a lot faster / break it. Certain things have a limit for reason I guess :-).

I got quality degradation when using max displayrefresh, like 160 in rmode 6. Any decent 19 inch monitor should be able to do 120hz in rmode 6. I wouldnt recommend going above those specs either :) (raising resolution or refresh)

Simple, set 120 fps 120hz and r_swapinterval 1

i agree, if you have crt that can do 120hz then imo that's the best option.
