Does "Game Mode" Impact FPS?

[Shrek_]

So, I own a samsung monitor...And it has this option which makes most games look beautiful called "Game mode" I'm here to ask if, It impacts frames per second...It makes games look better so it may be, But i still don't know for certain... An answer would be nice.

Game mode on most displays turns off TV specific features and sticks to a one refresh per frame system, rather then interpolation, which might cause lots of latency. It might also adjust some color settings, which has no affect on FPS.

Stick to game mode if the monitor has one.

use something like fraps or msi afterburner to see your fps in game

but its obviously not affecting it to the point its noticable to your eyes

What bystander said. Game mode adjusts some contrast/brightness settings, and actually turns off a bunch of post processing features (comb filtering, interpolation, sharpness etc) that can cause input lag/latency. This is all done on the display, it has no effect on the fps, except to display frames earlier due to no post processing.
