this warrants a new monitor for me, been holding out over a year with my old display, waiting for something and now I know what that was
Can’t wait to try it!
Looking forward to giving VRR a shot again. Last time I tried a couple years ago was pretty underwhelming on a couple different machines. Some games worked well with it, but a lot of software felt subtly broken. A lot of weird micro-stuttering and stuff just not feeling smooth even when the average framerate was high compared to boring synced 144 hz.
Ya got some quite not rounded numbers there …
In video, common frame rates are 30, 29.97, 24, and 23.976. (Almost) anything else will be a multiple of those. Your monitor might not actually run at 30hz * 4, it runs at 29.97hz * 4 which is why you see an option like 119.88. Sometimes that’s displayed as 120 to the user for simplicity, but in this case they’re showing the actual value (or it might support both).
Where do the weird fractions come from?
I think it’s because of HDMI the values aren’t whole.
DisplayPort would display whole numbers
I don’t think that’s it, rather the monitors supported refresh rates. (Think!=know)
Wait, so if I get a 144hz monitor, only now will that work in say, standard Fedora or Ubuntu?
