I can barely tell the difference between 60 and 165 hz on my monitor
I can barely tell the difference between 60 and 165 hz on my monitor
Title says it all (i have turned on 165hz on settings). Its a cheap monitor, do some 165hz monitors not truly give you that experience? Or are my eyes fucked

Me being super jealous of everyone here going to 144 or 165 when I just upgraded my pc a few months ago to finally use 120 on my current ultrawide monitor.
All I can say is even 120 from 60 was amazing and very obvious. As someone else said the biggest wow moment was just moving desktop items around and it being super smooth.
I do know there are a bunch of settings you may need to change to make sure your using the correct settings above 60. Check the advanced display settings which should list out all resolutions with refresh rate to pick. Sometimes monitors need to be set. Sometimes the driver software for the GPU has options for it listed. I know on mine I had to have freesync enabled as well. Lots of variables that may keep it from being set correctly to check. I remember setting up my audio equipment and you think your using everything correctly then realize your advanced settings had an option set to like 44 bit rate instead of at least something more reasonable like 192.
I use Linux so its just the one toggle in is settings, but you're right, I might have to double check my monitor settings
If you're using x11 and have another 60hz monitor it may be an issue with vsync. Wayland shouldn't have this issue.
Personally I don't notice 75 vs 144 unless I'm playing a first person game with a lot of quick movement.
Yeah I'm using wayland

No need to be jealous, the gain from 120 to 144/165 is significantly less than from 60 to 120.
60 to 120 is like a night and day difference, even for desktop usage.
Tbh I've used >100fps on monitors for so long I've subconsciously made it so when I see windows running at 60fps it feels sluggish
