144hz monitors and dolphin

[WiiSnake]

Can Dolphin benefit from them? Since emulators seem different from regular PC games, because when the FPS goes up the game goes really fast, unlike PC games. Can that be avoided and benefit from a 144hz monitor somehow?

Dolphin can only run games at whatever FPS they're programmed at (or at least without a patch, like the Mario Sunshine 60FPS patch), so unless the game runs at 120fps, there's no real point.

I don't know about 144hz, but I'm sure some games could run at 120hz.

Some games have patches that let them run at 120 fps, but no games run at more than 60 fps natively.

Sorry if we go a little out of subject, but I noticed that 200 Hz TVs displays smoother than 100 Hz TV, even with a 60 FPS console. Why? And can we notice the same thing between 60 Hz and 144 Hz monitors with a 60 FPS game?

There's a 120fps patch for Super Smash Bros. Brawl (it also works with Project M), and you can also use Nvidia 3D Vision 2 if the monitor is compatible with it. In my opinion 3D improves the Dolphin experience a lot.

TVs like that artificially increase the framerate by comparing 2 frames together and creating a new one that's in between them, doubling the frame rate.

I see, thanks. So I suppose it introduces some minor input lag.

Yep

Thanks for the answers.
