I'm playing with a 60Hz monitor since years and I'm ok with that, but surely a 144Hz monitor would be better.
What do you recommend? Should I keep using a 60Hz monitor or should I upgrade it?

Go ahead if you have lots of money.

RSI and TICS HIATUS LMAO

kids, don't joke about rsi, it's not cool to have it, it doesn't inflate your e-peen, just makes you look retarded for being proud of it

If you have a lot of extra money, why not.

Get a good graphics card first (unless you already have, like a 1060 or better) to get the most out of that 144hz. You don't want to just buy one for osu! and struggle to maintain even 60 on AAA games. I bet if you have money to easily buy a 144hz then you have too for a top-end GPU.

if you only want to get that 144hz strictly for osu! hoping to get that AR11 skillz then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting question, because I never really thought about refresh rate ever being that relevant for this game (although a higher refresh rate is always beneficial for anything).

That being said, I own a 144Hz monitor.

Initially bought it for CS:GO and Overwatch; haven't tried playing osu! on my 60Hz monitor and probably never will.

144 won't help if you're not gonna play HR.

I don't think it's gonna help you play this game at all unless you're going to play maps with AR ~~higher than AR9 DT~~ 11

Once you go 144hz, you never go back. Worth every penny.

144hz.

at this point I would consider buying a 240hz screen (Asus Rog Swift/Benq Zowie) though.

Diminishing returns above 144hz. Also you would need a 1080 SLI to play most games with eye candy, unless you wanna play them on really low settings. I suggest just buying a 144hz monitor with ULMB/Lightboost as it reduces motion blur and gives more smoothness for a lesser price and reasonable hardware requirements. http://www.blurbusters.com/faq/60vs120vsLB/

Above 144hz diminishing returns? In what regard? And why 144hz and not 143hz, 100hz or 200hz? Who came up with this rule that the "returns diminish" after exactly 144hz. The math is 96hz more which is about 66% more frames/more smoothness compared to 144hz. Sounds pretty linear to me.

And I don't know why you would need 1080 sli for osu! to reach 240fps... couldn't care less about other games. but even then, it would be much more about the processor than the gpu.

What I mean by diminishing returns is that, the subjective measure of how smoother it looks from 60hz to 144hz is significantly greater than from 144hz to 240hz. 66% more frames doesn't mean 66% more smoothness. Imagine adding 20 more frames from 20fps to 40 fps than 120fps to 144fps. The former has a more drastic change.

Also buying a 240hz screen only for osu! is just too extravagant, but hey, I won't stop you.
