Is It Okay If You Have a 144hz Monitor but get Below 140FPS?

One of the main games I play is Planetside 2, I just tested it on my 50 inch SonyW800B LED TV with a custom resolution of 2560x1080 and I usually get 70-90fps in a big battle that involves 48-96+ vs 48-96+. I wanna buy the Z35 Ultra Wide monitor, would it be okay if my FPS is lower than the refresh rate? I get 70-90 fps in a big battle at 2560x1080, I get about 95-120fps in a big battle at 1920x1080 but I doubt the monitor has some automatic scaling mechanism so if I played on 1080p then I will probably have 2 side black bars.

I would appreciate any insight on this.

If if you have a Nvidia GPU and Gsync Monitor that is totally OK.

Yea, this seems legit to me too.

The whole idea of variable refresh rate technology is that the impact of fps drops and fps increase isn't as noticeable as compared to a monitor that has a fixed refresh. Also no tearing and no lag that's is normally caused by v-sync. Anyway, I am happy to answer any further questions you have, since I own a Z35 myself.
