Quaklive and 144hz monitor?

[megatroooon]

Hi there,

I was just wondering if a 144hz monitor work with Quakelive, am asking the question because quakelive maximum refresh rate is 120hz so will a monitor with 144 work with this maximum refresh rate of a 120?

will I get the best performance? will be there any issues ? should i buy a 120hz monitor to avoid problems?

thanks

why do you think quakelive maximum refresh rate is 120hz?

I play quakelive at 250 fps @ 140 hz.

by the way playing on 120hz and above in quaklive does it make a difference?

It makes a noticable difference.
For best results I cap my frames @ 120fps (com_maxfps 120) set a resolution @ 120hz and depending on taste enable blur reduction. The blur reduction will lower the brightness considerably so you may want to adjust the strobe "on time" to about 1-2ms.

I do not use v-sync as it adds unacceptable input lag, however it does look slightly nicer.

Further to this set your mouse poll rate @ 1000hz provided it can do this reliably, I'm using an A4tech Bloody V7 @1000hz which has a pixart optical sensor.
