Is a faster monitor refresh rate better than a slower one?

Q. Is a faster monitor refresh rate better than a slower one?

I'm just after performance, increase my fps in games - nothing more.

Many thanks.

A. For FPS in games it is going to make no difference.


For usage, it depends.

You need a fast enough refresh rate that the screen will not flicker. For LCDs that is 60 Hz. For CRTs most people are happy at 75 Hz. Some need to run at 85 Hz.

You also want as low a refresh rate as possible. The electronics in the video card and the monitor have a limited slew rate - the time taken to change the voltage from one level to another level - So the shorter the pixel time the higher percentage of time that the electronics spends changing the voltage level and the shorter the time actually spent at the correct level. Higher vertical refresh rates or resolutions mean higher horizontal scan rates which means shorter pixel times.

The problems seen due to this is jitter in LCD monitors, and dim vertical lines and blurring of the image in CRT monitors.


Set LCDs to a 60 Hz refresh rate, and CRTs to 75 Hz. If you can still perceive flicker on the CRT when looking off to one side then up the refresh rate to 85 Hz.


Is motherboard specs can affect the refresh rates of monitors?
Q. can the motherboard specs affect/change the refresh rates option from 60 & 75 of my LCD monitor?

A. No it only depends on your monitor, and that's it. The monitor is what refreshes the screen not the motherboard.
