Best Video Card for a 144HZ monitor

[M1A1AbramsTanker]

Hi,
I have a R9 270X right now. Will it handle a 144HZ monitor?

Thanks

Yeah, but you won't be able to max out games at 144FPS. You'd need a 290, GTX 780 or at least a 280X or 770 for that sort of thing.

You'll need SLI 780 to run games at 144fps

Depends what settings you're happy with. If medium is fine, you'll do good with a single 780/290. If you want high settings, you'll need a 780 ti. For maxing games out with 120fps you'll need SLI 780 or Crossfire 290

Eh, I mean getting more than 60 fps. (enough to notice a difference over 60hz). If he turned down some settings he'd be able to get 144fps with the cards I first mentioned.

Also depends on the game you want to run at 144Hz i assume its a FPS... What is your CPU (might not matter what video card you get if your CPU is low end)?

^ True. CS:GO for example would have no issue whatsoever running at around 250fps maxed out.

Also, there are games that have a locked frame rate anyways. Just so that's out there.

As for the 144Hz monitor, there's not much more than a 60Hz monitor like Alex says. Main difference in my opinion is just that it helps lessen the amount of screen tearing since it can run at a higher frequency.
