In this tutorial, we show you how to change the refresh rate for your display adapter(s).
The refresh rate is the number of frames per second your monitor can display, and Hertz frequency represents how fast your screen is redrawn. Before making any changes, be aware that your refresh rate may be limited depending on your monitor, video card, and drivers.
Everyone can make changes in Settings, and NVIDIA owners can use the NVIDIA Control Panel.
