How to set 144Hz refresh rate in games
144Hz refresh rate refers to the ability of the monitor to refresh (update) the screen 144 times per second. Here "Hz" is the abbreviation of Hertz, which represents the number of periodic changes per unit time. Specifically, the refresh rate of the monitor refers to the number of times the screen is refreshed per second.
144Hz refresh rate monitors are mainly used in scenarios with high requirements for picture smoothness and response speed, such as e-sports, high-end games, etc. For professional e-sports players and high-end gamers, 144Hz monitors are a must-have for the ultimate gaming experience. However, for daily office work, watching movies and other purposes, 144Hz refresh rate is not necessary. Traditional 60Hz or higher but not 144Hz monitors are sufficient to meet the needs.
To set a 144Hz refresh rate in the game, first make sure that your monitor supports a 144Hz refresh rate, and your gaming system and graphics card can also support this setting. Here are the general setup steps, but please note that the specific steps may vary depending on the game and system:
I. Set through the system or graphics card control panel
1. Open the graphics card control panel:
For NVIDIA graphics cards, you can right-click on a blank area on the desktop and select "NVIDIA Control Panel".
For AMD graphics cards, the method may be slightly different, but the control panel can usually be found through a similar path.
2. Change the resolution and refresh rate:
In the graphics card control panel, find the "Change Resolution" option under "Display" or "Adjust Desktop Color Settings".
Select your monitor and select "144Hz" in the "Refresh Rate" drop-down menu. If 144Hz is not displayed in the list, you may need to update the graphics card driver or check the monitor connection first.
3. Apply and save settings:
After selecting the refresh rate, click the "Apply" or "OK" button to save the settings. According to the prompt, you may need to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
II. Adjust through game settings
For some games, you also need to set it in the game to ensure that it runs at a refresh rate of 144Hz. Here are some common game settings steps:
1. Start the game:
Double-click the game icon to start the game you want to set.
2. Open the game settings:
In the game main menu or during the game, find and open the game settings. The location of the settings may vary from game to game, but it can usually be found in the "Options", "Settings" or similar menus.
3. Adjust video settings:
In the game settings, find options related to video or display.
Check if there is a "Display Mode" or "Full Screen Mode" option, and make sure it is set to "Full Screen" or "Full Screen Windowed" (depending on your preference and game support).
If the game provides a refresh rate option, select "144Hz" directly. But please note that not all games will directly provide refresh rate options.
4. Turn off vertical sync:
Vertical sync (V-Sync) may limit the refresh rate of the game. To make full use of the 144Hz display, it is recommended to turn off vertical sync in the game settings. This can be found in the "Video" or "Graphics" settings.
5. Apply and save game settings:
After adjusting the settings, click the "Apply" or "OK" button to save the changes.
III. Additional tips
Ensure hardware compatibility: Before setting the 144Hz refresh rate, make sure your monitor, graphics card, and gaming system all support this setting.
Update drivers: Sometimes, updating the graphics card driver can solve problems in the refresh rate setting.
Check game compatibility: Not all games support high refresh rates. If the game itself does not support it, you may not be able to enjoy a smooth 144Hz experience in the game.
Adjust in-game settings: In addition to the refresh rate, there are other game settings that can affect game performance and smoothness. For example, adjust the graphics quality, resolution, and shadow effects.
