Refresh rate issue.

ive been playing with 1024 * 768 res for the longest time, and i actually kinda enjoy it. but, i noticed the refresh rate on that feels like 60 and not what it should be (should be120hz but feels like 60hz). i tested a res that my monitor res is, which is 1152 * 864. and the refresh rate on that felt smoother and not as choppy. but at the same time, i like my 1024*768 res. is there any reason why my 1024*768 res feels like 60hz (when it should be 120) and why it's choppy af? and how can i fix it?

thanks xd

Verified that it is actually running at 120Hz?
Probably running through a terrible rescaler/rescaler doesn't deal well with 768->864 (8->9) upscaling.
Try GPU scaling.

Yes. a little overclocked but its 120.
and how exactly would i scale the cpu?

think he meant gpu scaling, and for amd, you just go into display and turn it on.

That's why I wrote GPU scaling.

looked in my nvidia control panel, and i dont see "use Nvidia scaling" at all.
i see things like "full-screen", but not what you showed me

im pretty sure there is a tutorial on youtube on how to enable it, as it's pretty s1mple, but if you want, just screenshot your control panel and i can show you which option it is

Says right there it's set to GPU scaling.
It's also set to 1152*864 though.

well since im an actual retard, do i keep it as gpu scalling?
and i know that. for some reason, the higher res for my monitor doesnt go to the highest hz. so if i put my monitor res up, the hz will decrees. so thats why.

Yes.
Probably a bandwidth limit, might be fixable, might not be, we'll deal with it later.
What's the highest refresh rate you can get with 1152*864? Testing that with GPU scaling would test us whether or not the scaler is indeed the problem.

EDIT: Just to make sure: LCD monitor connected via HDMI/DVI?

120hz is the highest, even tho this monitor is shitty, doenst get a really high res, i get 120hz (a little over clocked too).
i'm pretty sure its connected via hdmi.

Ok, again, what is the native resolution and what's the highest refresh rate you can get at that resolution.

SkyH4ighi tested a res that my monitor res is, which is 1152 * 864.SkyH4ighand i know that. for some reason, the higher res for my monitor doesnt go to the highest hz. so if i put my monitor res up, the hz will decrees. so thats why.

I asked

SetsulWhat's the highest refresh rate you can get with 1152*864?

This answer does not make sense if what you said before is true (1152*864 native, lower Hz at higher res).

SkyH4igh120hz is the highest

well damn set.

the highest res/native res is 1366 x 768, the res on that decrees fucking majorly, goes to like 75. this monitor is small as shit and weird af too tbh. the reason i get 120hz is cuz i over clocked this bitch.

So is your monitor 1152*864 or 1366*768?

montior res, highest it can go/the native is 1366*768.
its currently set to 1152*864 cuz the hz (for some reason) is higher on that.

Can I get a screenshot? Because now you're saying you've been running the monitor at a higher resolution than it actually got and that that feels better than simply running 4:3 (1024*768) instead of 16:9 (1366*768).
