screen tearing at 144hz?

[Jack03]

Will switching from a 60hz monitor to a 144hz monitor reduce screen tearing/stutter in gaming if I run most games at 60-100fps?

The whole point of going up from a 60hz monitor to 144hz is to kill screen tearing, so yes it will reduce it.

Screen tearing will happen any time your fps is not synced to your refresh rate. So you'd still have screen tearing with a 144 Hz monitor. That being said, it may be less noticeable with the faster refresh rate.

Try capping your fps to 60, it works very well. It nearly eliminates screen tearing and doesn't cause lag like V-Sync does. MSI Afterburner allows you to cap fps.
