[@OubleJum]

Changing through frames is just your computer receiving new data and changing the pixels on that screen, so if the pixels will show movement 60 times per second, that would make it so movement seems smooth since there will be less movement for pixels change

[@adityajha4696]

Short. To the Point. Informational. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@fluffyearl2572]

Correct me if I'm wrong.
So basically, no matter how high your FPS is, it will be capped by your monitor's refresh rate?.
Like,
250 FPS on a 60 hz monitor will only give you 60 FPS?
250 FPS on a 75 hz monitor will only give you 75 FPS?
250 FPS on a 144 hz monitor will only give you 144 FPS?

[@MaxsTech]

True, but the thing is you would still want a high average fps because then in your worst case scenario say while gaming a lot of animations and effects happen at once you wouldnt want to fall below your monitors refresh rate or you may interpret some lag

[@joaquinmurgarodriguez2099]

[@aadeshkapadne7253]

So my processor, ram, graphics card, etc are responsible for the FPS
and my refresh rate (Hz) is solely dependent on what my display is capable of

[@furikusu]

Computer: generates 60 fps.
Monitor: refreshes 144 times per second(144Hz)
You only see 60 fps.
Computer: generates 150 FPS
Monitor: refreshes 60 times per second (60Hz)
You only see 60 FPS because the monitor is refreshing 60 times.

Thank you, I'm new to the pc gaming world and I truly appreciate these videos with simplified explanations

[@E3lcpl]

its funny back in the mid 2000 HZ was really never talked about cause high refresh rate monitors were really not a thing but FPS was, there was a huge difference between 30 fps and 60 fps and even 100 fps. But other than V-sync there was no software the monitor Hz Vs FPS from gpu plus we have cables now to worry about. Makes me think we were lied to about the chase for higher fps when weren't even talking about refresh rate on monitors.

[@Fai-rp6qj]

yeah in fn i get around three hundred and sixty fps but my moniter gets sixty hz

[@cyanrz9325]

so should i match my fps with my hz?

[@mhrbarnes]

The pc I’m getting can output about 180-220 FPS. Does this mean I need a 240hz monitor to see all the benefits? I was going to get a 144hz monitor for budgeting reasons but I want to be able to enjoy my PC for as much as it’s worth

[@jacekeller4128]

Yes if you get a 144 hz monitor and your computer push's out more than 144 fps your monitor will bottleneck at 144 unless you geta 240hz then asking as you don't go over 240 fps you will never be frame capped if that makes sense if you have anymore q's I can answer

[@deekay2899]

Jace Keller yup. That’s about as accurate as it gets👍🏾

[@deletedchannel4780]

[@KellerFkinRyan]

so, for example, lets say I have a 144hz monitor. would my experience be the same if my fps was 144, 160, 200, 300, or 400? meaning, is the hz the bottleneck in that situation, and there is no benefit to having an fps number greater than 144?

[@ireitman1087]

[@showjaypee7317]

So if my GPU can output 120 but my monitor is 60hz , even if my FPS counter is showing 120+, I’m actually not getting 120? So pretty much FPS = MHZ both are cap?

Nothings changed you’re not getting anything out of it. It’s best to have your hz as close to your FPS as possible you could get lag if your hz is a lot higher then your FPS.

[@OfficialOGJ]

Thank you so much you cleared alot up for me, i had one question,
Does this work the same for your mouse report rate or are they independent?
so for example ill try explain what im trying to say: if a mouse reports at 1000hz it will be refreshing your mouse movements every 1ms but if your computer only refreshs 60 fps is it reporting 60 frames per second to your screen and reporting mouse movements every 1ms right?
So what im trying to say is
If your computer hardware only refreshes 60 frames per second
It only refeshed 60 fps
And if your mouse hz runs at 1000hz the mouse reports everytime you touch it to the your on screen movements every 1ms
Im assuming that hz and fps are indepent
Please correct me if im wrong because i am trying to learn about all this stuff:) thanks again and if you have a answer to this question it would be highly appreciated

Ok so I’m here for my quest 2. I’m trying to play no man’s sky on Vr. How do I check my max fps output on my pc? I can up my hz on my quest 2 higher than 60-70hz but I have no idea what it’ll do. You’re talking about monitors. So would the screens in the quest be considered monitors? If so how would I check the max fps for my quest 2. Cuz wouldn’t it be plus more than my pc considering the quest 2 also has hardware on its own that can run games without being connected to anything, or am I thinking wrong. Like is the quest 2 completely working off my PCs hardware or is my quest 2 working with my pc hardware plus it’s own hardware. Ig doesn’t really matter but the real question is that if I do up my HZ on my quest 2 and it’s connected to my pc. What would the draw backs be for my pc. Like rn I’m having issues with my game stuttering and frames dropping before 30 fps. Would putting my hz higher fix the issue or would it make it worse? Would it put too much strain and crash my pc ?

[@levandeur3574]

But what if your GPU starts to send frames at (say) 0:01:01 while your monitor starts to refresh image at (say) 0:01:02. Doesn't it mean that the final picture is going to be a black one? Or is it a software level where these two things are synchronised on?

[@MaxsTech]

It will just have the previous frame on screen until it’s refreshed, if the frame rate and refresh rate don’t align you can get what’s called tearing on screen where at some point whenever the new frame was rendered your refresh was partly through and all the pixels are like 1 layer off causing jagged edges. There’s a method to sync the refresh rate and frame rate to avoid this called Vsync. You’ll see that as an option in most games.

[@kaankarapnar1028]

I was just wondering this question and it just appeared in front of me lol. Thank you I have now learned the relation between the two 👍

[@Zonno5]

So are functionalities like GSync and FreeSync are responsible for syncing frame output to scree frequency? I can imagine that there may be slight fluctuating delivery delays if the phases do not exactly match.

[@pedrofang17]

Vsync does that. Gsync and freesync are different than Vsync. Gsync or freesync make your monitor's frequency imitate the output of your GPS frequency so the images get LESS stuttering. Yes we could say there would be some perceived input delay from the user but nothing special unless you are a professional gamer

[@pedrofang17]

Just to clarify VSync makes the GPU imitate the monitor's frequency. The opposite of freesync and gsync

then how come 200 fps on 60 Hz feels smoother than 60 fps ? is it a placebo effect or what

[@Josama0214]

Simple: input is hz and output is FPS, so you won’t see much difference with hz but a lot more difference with fps

[@MaxsTech]

Well both are outputs. Like if I was baking cookies and you were selling them. I can bake 120 cookies each second (fps) but if you can only hand out 60 each second to the customer (hz) the customer (you) will only see what is delivered.

[@chingonmex2488]

Good explanation, so if going up to 100FPS or more in a 60hz monitor is useless,
Then I'll be using vsync more often on games that give me more FPS than my TV is capable of receiving!

So lets say if my console is sending 120fps to my Tv witch is capable of giving 240hz im only seeing 120fps an 120hz basically?

[@MaxsTech]

basically. your tv would be refreshing faster than the console was updating the frame if you had 120fps pushing out to a 240hz display.

[@deekay2899]

I-Fresh-I yup. The tv or display refresh rate is basically the cap. You can feed as much frames per second and you’ll see exactly that as long as you don’t exceed the displays refresh rate. Also...yh those are big dreams looking for a console with 120fps😂 I mean you made this comment 10 months ago. But the next gen consoles coming out this fall are probably gonna have 120 FPS.

What if you have a 165hz monitor and you have around 1000 fps, and then fps drops to like 800-400-600... can you see and feel the difference or is it the same because its more than 165fps?

[@MaxsTech]

Even if you had 1000 Hz I don't think you would be able to tell the difference. There is a quick rate of diminishing returns after 240hz IMO. 60 to 120 is a huge difference then 120 to like 240 is very very slight almost indecernable difference. After that I don't think most people would even be able to tell if you had then guess between anything higher.
