Not feeling im getting money worth for 144Hz monitor?

[Benc12]

So i bought a 144Hz monitor which arrived today, and got it all set up with some complications at first but its sorted now, however i was told i would "see a significant difference" from upgrading from 60Hz, after playing for a couple of hours im seeing no difference. So im wondering is there any settings that i should change that would show better results? and ive already changed the HZ settings in my nvidia control panel. Any help would be appreciated because right now i feel like ive wasted my money

What games are you playing with a higher refresh?

Also try this to make sure the monitor is actually running at 144hz.

fortnite, overwatch, pubg and some league of legends (which i know wouldnt have significant improvements to begin with)

Yep its running at 143 saying ready. Also in overwatch i still see some screen tearing on corners when passing them which i thought would of stopped

Hmm I would think at the very least you'd see it in Overwatch, having a higher FPS made a huge difference in BF4 for me as far as K/D as everything was much smoother and clearer. Can your hardware provide those higher frames?

The screen tearing is less noticeable with a higher FPS but you'll still want to use Vsync or adaptive if you card/monitor support it.

With v-sync on will this cap my dps to 144? and if so will i experience any lag

Vsync will cap it at 144hz but should reduce any tearing, some ppl prefer to keep it off however I think it's better to stay on as if your experiencing screen tearing it may mess up your aiming.

The reason i kept it off was that people on another post i read said it causes lag and input delay?

Unfortunately Overwatch doesn't support 21:9 as there's some nice 2560x1080P/75hz/IPS monitors out there for around the same price as 1080P/144hz. I just picked one up and I love it.

I've read the same thing but I call BS, I've played on a 1080P/144hz with a 1ms response time with vsync off in BF4 while my buddy was on a 900P/60hz/5ms and did better then me, it's skill and judging enemy player movements that allow you to do better.

Good audio helps as well, hearing an enemy coming around the corner and starting to fire right before they come around at head level will damage them before they realize what's going on, then they call you a hacker .

If i was to be lagging due to v-sync would my ping spike? cos it hasnt changed at all

No lag and ping are two different things.
