The reason for this is simple. Windows and Linux do not change your Hz settings automatically. Hence people forget to set the Hz from 60 to 144/165

>This whole time
Meaning either 5 minutes, or the whole length that man has been walking the Earth.

Now can your hardware cope?

Ok, but like, and hear me out… “this whole time” could’ve been the last 5 minutes
haggle3
That sucks. I have 165 and it’s a world different. I had to fix my monitor (un/replug) and it reset to 60Hz with a CS2 game going. Felt like a slideshow, lol.

So how many years did you have placebo 144Hz?

While we are enjoying this PSA, I’ll tag along with “check your ram speed from Task Manager quickly”.

Now you understand my shame when I got my 240MHz monitor….
*This expensive ass monitor fucking sucks man….what a rip off*
– Did you manually change the refresh rate in the Settings menu?

And this is also 80% of the reasons that some people says that 144 has no difference
aliusman111
Hahaha i am so used to 144 that I can actually tell the difference when moving the mouse at 60. I do however always have to go and set it myself every time I install new windows (and I do that quiet often) as windows just picks up 60

My mum had a 144hz monitor for years and didn’t even know it was set to 60. She was gob smacked by how smooth her games played.

If you can’t even notice your on 60hz..does 144hz even matter?
Rawjent
I don’t understand how some people don’t notice this. They buy a high refresh rate monitor, but don’t even realize what higher refresh rate looks or feels like… They don’t even question that it feels like a console still stuck at 60hz. Attention to detail is not common I guess. I expect downvotes, but damn this hurts everytime I see this lol.

Human eye can’t see over 30 frames anyways, shouldn’t be a difference.

How long is this “whole time”? Because my friend was on playing on 720 for a whole year before realizing it was not 1080. Lol.
PeterMcPhile
Whole time mine was set to 59 instead of 60. Absolutely died when I found out

Did you feel the difference?

I can only understand making this mistake if you’ve never had a higher refresh rate than 60hz before. Outside of that, and I’ve seen it before, I don’t get how people don’t immediately notice their monitor not being on the highest refresh rate it offers versus the lowest.

its a lot more common than you might think

It’s a day and night difference.
