Following my laptop woes with pre-installed Norton (see http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?103011-Antivirus/page2), yesterday my PC monitor when kaput (black screen with power light flashing on and off, so I suspect power supply issues at the monitor end). Unable to survive by going back to my old (square) monitor, I rushed out today and bought an AOC G2460P which supposedly features 1ms response time and 144hz refresh rate. I've changed my settings in Windows for that refresh rate and it appears to be recognised by my ATI card.
Things do seem to look somewhat smoother on the display compared to the standard 60hz, especially movies. But my obvious question is: what implications does working in 144hz have for Trainz? Does the GPU have to work harder? Does it affect framerates? Do any of the settings needs to be changed to get the best out of this refresh rate? Or should I reset the rate to 60hz when I'm running Trainz?
I've taken a quick look and, after some initial jerkiness, it seemed to settle down and the framerates looked unaffected. Anyway, I'd welcome advice.
