eh, 950 for 144hz. i mean it would if u play at seriously low settings? not worth it i'd get a new graphics card if i were you, that's just me though

your card is still perfectly fine for 60fps gaming though but if u want a higher hz monitor... gonna need a new card

inb4 everyone flames me for helping


well, that's unfortunate and I guess I'm to blame for a being cheap. That card is relatively new (this year).
I was told running PUBG at the lower setting is beneficial due to it helps separate the landscape from the players.
some of the settings in CSGO are played with lower settings to help you see through smokes.

In your opinion I wont see ANY benefits from the 144Hz?

The lowest of the 1000 series grfx cards is the GTX 1060, and it is more than twice as fast as the 950. Just so you know where your vid card ranks.
But you definitely need a new monitor. I would look at a 24" 60Hz monitor if I was you.


If you were to get a GTX 1060, then a 144Hz monitor would help.



/e On the other hand you could always get a 144Hz monitor but don't expect it to help until you get a better vid card. But at least you'll already have the 144Hz monitor when you do get a better vid card.

it pretty much just means that when you plugin a 240hz monitor, it'll work with the card.
However it does not mean that the weak 950 card will give you 240+fps without dropping below in pubg.
