FAQs

What FPS do I need?

60 FPS is smooth for casual gaming. 144+ FPS provides advantages in competitive games. Diminishing returns exist above 240 FPS.

Why does frame time matter?

Consistent frame times feel smoother than high average FPS with spikes. 16.7ms consistent feels better than averaging 10ms with 50ms spikes.

Does higher FPS reduce input lag?

Yes, higher FPS means more recent frames are displayed, reducing the delay between your input and seeing the result on screen.
