Dec 15, 2012 · Yes. FPS and refresh rate (Hz) are not the same thing, nor are they linked. FPS is the number of frames per second the software is processing, while Hz is the rate at which the hardware in the monitor is refreshing the display. They are two independent functions, and you will see a difference in animation quality with more FPS.

Mar 30, 2021 · Higher FPS reduces input lag in the sense that the data on the screen is more up date at any given moment. If 60FPS is all that is achieved then the input lag is identical. Your first case involves running a 60hz screen at MORE than 60FPS.

Mar 10, 2020 · Limting fps does help and i've noticed in the past when i was on a 60Hz screen, enabling Vsync can also improve smoothness but to defeat input lag, i just limited fps a tiny bit lower, 59 from memory, but have seen others suggesting 1 or 2 fps lower still.

Oct 17, 2021 · The reason you're seeing stuttering yet still seeing high FPS is because FPS meters do an average over a second. You can have a noticeable increase in frame time but still have a high FPS. For example, you could get 100 FPS if you were getting 200 FPS for half a second, then there was a half a second pause.

Oct 28, 2014 · A 60hz monitor can only show 60 complete frames, but if you have 70 FPS, you'll end up seeing 70 frames at an average of 60/70 of each of those frames. At 120 FPS, you'll see 120 half frames on average. Obviously a 120hz monitor is better. NOTE: if you do not use V-sync, no matter what your FPS are, you get screen tearing.

Nov 20, 2012 · What she may have meant is only true in the case of interlaced video output such as in TV and analog video, in which 60Hz interlaced provides 30fps at full resolution with the right field order, and forcing full 60 fps will require a decrease in resolution by half, and cause visible combing artifacts.

May 24, 2019 · So average fps higher than the monitor's refresh rate can actually be useful if it means your minimum fps stays at or above the monitor's refresh rate. And the answer to the question in the title of this thread: "60 Hz display = limit 60 fps" is wrong.

Aug 16, 2019 · Most people won’t tell the difference of the higher FPS on 60Hz however real enthusiasts or pro’s can because of the reduced latency, at 120fps there should be less delay between the frame drawn and the frame displayed. Personally I don’t think the i3/i5 are a good choice when compared to Ryzen 3000 due to lower core/thread count.

May 5, 2016 · since monitors that only supports 60HZ can tend to get screen tearing when pushing FPS above 60, but when you reach 100+ fps the tearing gets less severe, still can happen noticeably, thats why people want high HZ monitors because it limits the effects high fps can have, not that it cant display the amount of fps below the rated HZ

Apr 21, 2016 · - synchronizes with monitor, thus has to buffer (lag) but you get no screen tear. FPS cap is monitor refresh rate (60FPS on 60Hz monitor) Adaptive VSYNC: - simply toggles VSYNC ON or OFF. - used for when you might drop below the desire FPS cap (i.e. 60FPS) which can cause stuttering in normal VSYNC due to a delay in new frames being drawn
