Resolution options in drop-down list

Andreas Ericson · May 25, 2015

Hello, I just started playing Assetto Corsa and I am really enjoying it. For the moment just with a gamepad but soon with a wheel.

I have a question regarding the resolution options;
In the Resolution drop-down menu there are two choices right next to each other of many of the resolutions.
For example it looks like this:
1920x 1080 @ 23,97 Hz
1920x 1080 @ 29,97 Hz
1920x 1080 @ 50 Hz
1920x 1080 @ 59,94 Hz
1920x 1080 @ 59,94 Hz
The difference between the top ones is obvious but what about the bottom two? Does it matter which one I choose?

It just uses the list your graphics driver provides, which is usually based on what your monitor says it can handle - one possibility is that they're "1080p" (a TV standard) and PC 1920x1080 (monitor standard) which aren't really different, but some TV devices (cable box, dvr, whatever) only recognize '1080p'.

The "59,94 Hz" is the refresh-rate frequency of your monitor/display, you'll want to choose the highest one your monitor/display supports, which it seems from what you pasted is 60hz (or 59hz), so choose that.
I explained this in another thread so don't mind me pasting this, from here :

Another idea (not sure your knowledge so my apologies if you know this already): What is your monitor/display's response time and refresh rate? You can google to find out what those terms mean if you're not sure. Roughly: response time is how quickly the display reacts to input (moving your mouse, steering your wheel), its in milliseconds. Refresh rate is roughly how smooth the display is, it feels something similar to FPS, but in the display's terms. Remember the old big-boxy CRT monitors from 2002 and how much they would flicker? Modern LCD/LED's are different technology but the principle is the same. If you're using for example: an old 60hz LCD monitor with a 20ms response time, you're going to have a bad time, very delayed input with blurring and ghosting etc. Try get onto a (2ms or lower) AND (120hz or higher) monitor/TV and witness how much faster the display reacts to your movements (if that is the case).
