Monitor Refresh Rate Checks

You paid for 144Hz. Make sure you're using it.

It happens every LAN. Someone plays all weekend on 60Hz without realizing it.

Check your settings

  1. Right-click Desktop > Display settings.
  2. Scroll down to Advanced display settings.
  3. Check the Refresh rate dropdown.
  4. Set it to the highest available number (144Hz, 240Hz, etc.).

Troubleshooting

  • Option missing? Check your cable. HDMI often limits refresh rates. Use DisplayPort if possible.
  • Game feels slow? Check in-game video settings. V-Sync or frame caps might be locking you to 60fps.
  • Nvidia/AMD Panel: Sometimes you need to set the resolution to “PC” instead of “TV/Ultra HD” to unlock higher refresh rates.
