Automatically adjust monitor refresh rate on fullscreen

Re: Automatically adjust monitor refresh rate on fullscreen
Stupid question: why have you set the refresh rate to 75hz?
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Re: Automatically adjust monitor refresh rate on fullscreen
If you don't have a CRT monitor what it actually should do is refresh the screen whenever a frame has rendered. No fixed refresh rate at all.
And yes, you can usually do that. Unfortunately there are 2 standards for this with stupid licensing fees. So it depends on what your monitor supports.

Re: Automatically adjust monitor refresh rate on fullscreen
I really don't know how to interpret this reply, so I'm going to assume that by stupid question you are referring to your own question. The answer is that it doesn't really matter. The point is that my monitor refresh rate doesn't match Factorio's frame rate. If you really want to know the reason for why I overclocked it, the answer is the same as if I had bought a 75hz, 120hz, 144hz, or any other higher-than-60hz refresh rate monitor.
Something to add that may not be obvious: AFAIK monitors natively support different resolutions and refresh rates. For example, in Nvidia Control Panel I can choose between 60hz, 59hz and 50hz without touching anything "dangerous". If I want to set the refresh rate to 75hz I have to create a Custom Resolution myself and accept the dangers. My suggestion is to set the monitor refresh rate, if available (which it probably is), to match with Factorio's 60fps.
That sounds good but maybe too complex.mrvn wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 8:36 amIf you don't have a CRT monitor what it actually should do is refresh the screen whenever a frame has rendered. No fixed refresh rate at all.
