does my monitor affect my gaming FPS ?

i was wondering if m monitor can affect my gaming like making it laggy and slow. if i upgraded my monitor will it help and make me play in high resolutions without lagg ?

Answer
Monitors can create screen tearing, where the pc generates to many frames than the monitor can handle, causing the monitor to display multiple frames at once, creating unsmooth and fairly ugly picture quality. And example of this is if a monitor has a refresh rate of 60 and the pc is generating 90 fps, the monitor takes in 90 but can only display 60, causing some frames to mix with others. This usually only occurs with games, as many other programs limit the fps, and it can be fixed for games by enabling vsync in either your game or GPU, which will prevent the graphics card from giving your monitor more frames than it can display.

Best Gaming Monitor?

Answer
SAMSUNG 245BW Black High Glossy 24" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor with Height Adjustment 400 cd/m2 1000:1 (DC 3000:1) - Retail
Windows Vista Certified

The 5ms Response rate is a must for an extreme gamer. (by the looks of your video card I would say you are). The lower response rate, the better. For a 24 inch monitor this is an amazing response rate. I use the 20 inch Samsung in this model and it has a 2ms response rate. It is awesome for gaming. The colors are flawless and the monitor looks sophisticated.

I talk about the response rate because of ghosting. If you are playing good quality games (like Oblivion, F.E.A.R, and such) you will have to have a low response rate, or else your images can have a bluring effect and make you lag for a brief second. That brief second can mean life or death in a FPS (first person shooter).

I really hope that my answer helped. If you think my answer is the best please give me the "best answer reward" as a "thank you" in return.

Do computer monitors affect fps in games?

What is a good LCD monitor for FPS games?

sam08

Im looking to get a samsung monitor thats 2 ms but that can handle fps games with no ghosting. I was looking at the Samsung 2233rz 120hertz but currently out of stock everywhere. So if you can please post a link from newegg or tigerdirect on a monitor thats under that but still good for games please that would be helpful. my knowledge with monitors isnt so great so please help :)
I can tell the difference between 60 and 100hertz on my viewsonic crt. Im looking for the best samsung 2ms with 75 hertz.

Answer
Honestly you really don't need a 120hz moniter to have gaming lag free. The majority of lcd tvs run at 60hz and no ghosting occurs. If you are looking into a hardcore set up then, you may want to look into a 30 inch 2650x1600 display. The resolution on these displays make games look amazing but they will force your graphics card to work harder and may cause lag if your computer is not powerful enough. One reason to buy a 120hz display however is for 3d connectivity via Nvidia 3D vision glasses. These require a minimum 120hz display to run in 3d with no ghosting. You will also note that with 3d enabled games will have to render a frame twice therefore causing the computer to work two times harder to render a game, again possibly causing lag on slower systems.

Better monitor = Higher FPS ?

morris6442

My monitor atm is the big Tube monitor type, around 4 years old, I got to wondering if I got a new Monitor would that Boost my FPS in different games ? I got a 256mb Video card, 1 gig ram, I believe 3.0ghz Processor, I run Diskeeper daily, but just looking for an extra boost in FPS

Answer
The FPS of a game is going to depend on the processing power in your CPU and on your graphics card.

The monitor will have no effect on the FPS your games run at.


Many gamers prefer CRTs over LCD monitors because they blur less with movement and can support higher vertical frame rates, If you actually have >60 FPS on the game then you need a monitor running faster than a 60 Hz refresh rate.

Personally, I would probably up the resolution of the game, dropping the FPS, but getting more detail. But then I am not a serious gamer.

How do I record my games on x box and how do I get sound ?

gaming monitor for fps image

Ben

Hi guys I have had my x box for a long time its the x box slim and it is connected to a monitor. This means I cant hear any of the game sound. I was considering getting a T.V because then I could actually hear sound in the game but all my friends say a monitor has more fps and is generally better they have both so I trust there opinion. My monitor is terrible it only has two slots one to connect straight to electricity and one to to connect to my x box. My ideal thing to have is turtle beaches so I can talk to friends and hear the game as well and to be actually able to record my gameplay and my voice I know I wont do well on YouTube views but I would just love to be able to do it.
My budget is 200 and I could stretch to 250 so if i need to buy special speakers or a new monitor or even a tv then I will. I will also have to buy some kind of software to record sound and gameplay.
Links would be extremely helpful and more than one option would be too.
Thanks very much.

Answer
Preliminary Analysis:
-If you can't hear sound then I can safely assume your monitor doesn't have an HDMI port.

-If you want to record youtube gameplays you will need 2 monitors (1 for your xbox and 1 for your computer) as it can't be done all in one.

-You will need to buy a headset (turtle beaches are good and cheap, especially the X12). You will need to buy a second monitor with an HDMI port, or an HDTV. You will need to buy a recording device.

-You have $250 dollars available.

-Monitor vs. HDTVs in console gaming hardly matters unless you are a Pro player. I discussed this topic here:

($139, Seller Refurbished/Used, 60 day warranty, you can add an extra 1 year warranty for $23 extra. Being used/seller refurbished can be a hassle but you won't find a monitor of this category for less than $200, it's worth a try)

The reason why I chose a monitor is because due to their size they are cheaper than TVs and you are under budget.


-Elgato Game Capture HD ($159.36 New. I don't think you want to buy this used but you are free to do so at Ebay. I can't recommend any other Game Capture Device because this one is the best in the market and I haven't tried any other to be honest. You need a computer that can handle basic video processing and the better your computer is the less time and the better quality your videos will have. You will need "audacity" (free program) to add audio to your comentaries if you pre-record them. You will need Sony Vegas Pro, which you can pay a lot for or get it by other means that I can't discuss here. Or if you don't want the complexity of choices that Sony Vegas Pro will give you, you can just use Windows Movie Maker to render the audio you recorded in Audacity and your gameplay videos together.

It is above your $250 budget but it will be worth every penny if you truly enjoy gaming and uploading gameplay videos. There might be less expensive equipment but you will get no where near the same performance. The choice is yours. Good Luck. Hope it helps...

What is the best monitor on the market for FPS gaming?

Parker

I am looking for a new monitor for my PC Gaming rig. I only play FPS games.

What is "THE BEST" monitor on the market at the moment for gaming that will deliver the maximum frame rate? (My computer can play games over 100fps, but I just need a monitor that can deliver more than 60fps for me to enjoy it to the max)

Anyone know of the best?

Answer
welll.. define "The Best"

by my standards (and your not gonna like this) the BEST display would be:
NEC PA301W 30" IPS 2560x1600 monitor. for the best experiences you'l need 3 of them.
99% perfect color reproduction
excellent contract
14 bit 3D color dictionary (some 1.3 billion colors)
it supports 3D display
industry standard for graphics, video, and game designers.
its um, $2300 each, and 3 of them would be... $6900. and since its obviously extremely valuable, shipping would be like $400 ($200 to ship + $200 in insurance)


you'll need dual-link DVI -out or you'll have trouble enjoying this top-quality monitor.
this is as close as you can get to an Apple computer's display, which is the best there is.

How much does it cost to build a decent gaming computer?

gaming monitor for fps image

Tomato Boy

I'm looking to play League of Legends on max settings but I'll also be using this computer for school work and such. My current computer gets like 20 fps on LoL so I'm looking for a BIG upgrade. Would it be cheaper to buy a power supply and a graphics card and just replace it with the parts in my current computer? Or if I do buy brand new parts I'm looking for quad core processor and an 8GB ram at least. The graphics card doesn't have to be super HIGH end because I just want to use it for LoL. Thanks. Most thorough answer gets 5 stars.
My budget is $700 but I'm looking to save as much money as possible. Already have a gaming keyboard and decent screen.

Answer
You don't need quad core for gaming, almost all games will only use one or two cores. And you won't be able to build around a quad core with $700.
For gaming forget about AMD, THEY SUCK!!! And what they sell for a quad core is in fact a dual core with 4 processing threads, AMD is full of it...
INTEL is the king in gaming.

You can build a decent budget gaming PC for under $750, here it is:

Yahoo answers will only allow up to 10 links, so I have to leave out the not so important components. Just copy paste in the search field on Newegg to find them, I will give the full name but no link for those.

BEST BUDGET GAMING DESKTOP PC BUILD FOR THE MONEY (under $750.00USD for the tower only)
Monitor, keyboard and mouse can add from $175 to over $500, depending on size and model you want.
All prices are in $USD and in the USA, current as of December 2012 and they might be slightly different one way or the other by now.
Also, some shipping charges may apply to some of the items.
Add your state sales tax if you reside in NJ, CA or TN - that's where Newegg has warehouses.
Look for similar parts on Amazon, Tiger Direct, etc if you want to avoid paying Uncle Sam.

Monitor Response Times Really Make A Difference?

Joey

I've been looking into buying a gaming monitor and the only thing that has me confused in the response time. I seen mostly 5ms times, But i found a few with 2ms times... What should i go with and is there even a difference?

Mainly for Call Of Duty (fps) Games.
And what should i look for in contrast ratio?

Answer
It depends on what kind of gaming you do. Do you go hardcore all-nighters, or do you just casually play when you feel like it? If you go hardcore, get the 2ms, and if not, get the 5ms.
