Hi all!
The title says it all, but I recently got the rog swift and I don't understand the merit of setting the monitor to anything less than 144Hz. I assumed G-sync will kick in if I am not getting enough FPS in gaming and deliver a smooth experience, so what is the point of ever switching to 60Hz?
Sorry for being ignorant, but I don't really understand the purpose of being able to switch refresh rates. Does it matter when watching movies for example? Thanks in advance.
