Cavemanhead Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I know everyone gets all hot and bothered these days when it comes to refresh rates... And I can see how 120 or 144hz is great for FPS etc but I'm guessing it would be placebo effect for flight simulation. I'd think contrast ratio, deep blacks for night flight and gsync is infinitely more important than refresh rate for simulation... Looking for best value monitor or TV 32 - 43in Thoughts?

David OC Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Hold 60 fps is the sweet spot for flight sims. Fast combat sims especially... I have a 144hz G Sync monitor set to 120hz, Sim locked at 60 fps lol. This is because of TRack IR, it doesn't like to get between 60 and 120 fps. Locking it to one of these makes for much better and smoother panning. G Sync can still help I believe, more noticeable in large MP sessions.

TOYKILLA Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I only run 144Hz Displays on my System, but for flightsim use,only VR with the Reverb and 90FPS.

David, I was particularly interested in your comment about TIR. I was wondering if faster might actually be worse... Does any multiple of 60 work? So, do you lock at 60fps because the sim is somewhere between 60hz and 120 hz? Or said another way, if you got 200fps all the time, would you lock the sim at 120hz?

Or said another way, if you got 200fps all the time, would you lock the sim at 120hz? Many of us pull back to 60 fps to smooth it all out and somthing the system can hold. I guess I could reach 120 and sort of stay at 120 most of the time. I would need to pull back some settings which I don't really want to do. So I just set a fixed rate at 60 with nvidia inspector. Not sure about all the in's and out's of it, something to do with the camera polling. I just tried it and it was much smoother when under 120 fps, when you pan around. It's very small micro stutters, just try it. It's not massively noticeable all the time, it is there tho. BitMaster started a fix petition thread last year.
