Try 30Hz he said.....it'll be smooth he said..

Am I doing something wrong ? Is the pixel response rate not so important after all ?

 

I doubt it.

At 30Hz individual frame time is 33ms so what would be the advantage of a 5ms response time here?

Is there a way to force 30Hz on a monitor that doesn't support it out of the box (no such setting in NVCP)?

You can try and create a custom resolution set to 30Hz. If it doesn't work you'll get a notification.

I have an old 4:3 LCD that doesn't officially support 50Hz but handles it quite well. I use it for oldskool gaming on emulators.

As Peter says: NVCP-Change Resolution-Customize-Create Custom Resolution-Set Refresh Rate.

Note NVCP warning box.

4k TVs, as a lot of you guys seem to use, have horrible pixel response times (15 to 20 ms !).

 

That's a sweeping brush and not accurate ... I have 3 cheap Acer 1440p monitors that do have poor response time (and I was aware when I purchased and expected ghosting), I have a Sony 2160p that has very low response time and no ghosting.  A monitor being 4K doesn't mean it'll have bad response time ... it's all about quality and cost, a cheap 1440p monitor can have poor response time just as a cheap 2160p monitor can have poor response time ... it's not the resolution that makes the response time bad, it's Brand/model quality.

Do you need to be useing HDMI cables to get 30hz? I have the following monitor and use DP cables and cant get it to run at 30hz, it just says out of range when trying to create custom res.

Definitely not as a general rule but in your case, according to those monitor specs, it might be the only way to go.

Edit: Assuming you are running at 4K resolution.
