you're monitor must be able to perform at such a high display refresh rate, only crt monitors are able to at the moment. the display refresh doesn't give you higher fps but makes the game much more smooth, making it easier to shoot at long range. besides it does give you a little accuracy boost. the fps have to be synchronized on a crt, so it is nothing for people with unstable fps.
Yes, noticed already a long time ago a huge difference between 125 and 71 FPS. 125 almost doubles it with the same settings. But the guestion was that does the 76 FPS make the game somewhat smoother with my screen (and give some acc bonus :D) or shall i stick with 71 all the way.
Not on a LCD, you can't really feel a difference I think. I can't tell you for sure, after all it have been over two years that I played last time on a LCD, and I was playing with 125 FPS on it too.
If you are used to 71 FPS, stick to it. 76 FPS won't make a see-able difference I think, but it will make you aim and hit (includes being hit) differently.
No you dont theres no diffrence at all betweeen 120hz/125fps and 127h/125fps on a crt ive used a 22" CRT for years and tried every combination you could think of but i still stick with 120hz/125fps as theres no diffrence in using higher hrtz .
i serached @ google and updated drivers,and now it seems to work.tested a little in et,but hmm...dont rly see big difference(not like when switching from displayrefresh 75 to 85).should i still keep 125 fps?
i will look more in to it and ill try to tweak some settings and get a good ingame feeling :D
com_maxfps 125(should i put this 76,is better with displayrefresh 120?also ppl say that 100fps/100hz it feels smooth?that true?)
r_displayrefresh 120(trying now,used to have 85)
r_mode 6(since i changed my pc some months ago,but this just doesnt feel good.on old pc on big maps i was playing r_mode 3,and belive me,idont want to get back to that).
i would like to change to r_mode 8,but im not sure if it can run at 120 hz.before when i was changing it would have go to 60 hz
com_maxfps 125 and r_displayrefresh 120 will be most smooth. fps and the display refresh have to be synchronized as much as possible! though, other fps will give you an other feel. you will hit differently, jump differently far, have different recoil and the enemy will hit you differently [due to fps changing actually the real maxpackets - I know that they are forced to 100 nowadays, but if you change your fps to 125, then you will have just 63 maxpackets. it works like this, if the real fps number is bigger than 100, like for example 111, than the packets which you send are twice less than 111 in this case, means 55 packets will be sent. you monitor won't be able to perform 120 hz most probably at r_mode 8. the resolution also changes how precise you are able to aim. precision is great on long range, but on short range such a precision is not needed and is basically a con. I'm playing with r_mode 4 because I like to, when I had a lcd I was playing with r_mode 6 and that just because r_mode 4 was too ugly due to the lcd stretching a lower resolution to it's native one.
If I would be you, then I would play around a little and see what suits me better. Some combination of values you could want to try:
r_mode [what-you-like-best], com_maxfps 85 - 90 (real fps will be 90 anyway), r_displayrefresh 85 or add a custom display refresh in your drivers and play with r_displayrefresh 90
I like it being ugly. Oh and the resolution does change how the mouse feels and I like how r_mode 4 feels, giving me an advantage at short range and a disadvantage at long range.

wtf :D
e: custom set up display refresh, of course it's not a value you can just set without messing with your drivers
I've been using 71 for a long time now and it feels great with everyweapon imo. Are u sure 76 makes the game smoother? :D
If you are used to 71 FPS, stick to it. 76 FPS won't make a see-able difference I think, but it will make you aim and hit (includes being hit) differently.
have you tried installing monitor drivers or forcing a refresh rate above 85?
i will look more in to it and ill try to tweak some settings and get a good ingame feeling :D
r_displayrefresh 120(trying now,used to have 85)
r_mode 6(since i changed my pc some months ago,but this just doesnt feel good.on old pc on big maps i was playing r_mode 3,and belive me,idont want to get back to that).
i would like to change to r_mode 8,but im not sure if it can run at 120 hz.before when i was changing it would have go to 60 hz
