I was under the impression anything over 60FPS is wasted.

no, this is something that gets brought up repeatedly.

the human eye is unliekly to be able to tell the difference between 60 or 100 fps. but the human BRAIN can.

the movement may look smooth, but when controlling the motion yourself, higher framerates are noticeably better.

watching a video at 60 or 100 is pretty much the same. but controlling a game, especially something fast paced, is much better at 100fps. you have greater control and can react much faster. given that reaction times can be well above a 60th of a second, every extra frame can help.

Monitors can't display over 60FPS due to refresh rate..?

again, we are talking about the input and reaction speed. the more frames being rendered, the smoother input and reaction is. its not about how it looks, but how it feels.

We're not talking about some psychological brain thing...monitor can't physically output more than 60FPS. There should be no difference between 60FPS and 1000FPS if the monitor has a 60mhz refresh rate..?

yes, it would look exactly the same.

but the mouse, and keyboard as well as your brain, are not restricted to the refresh rate of the monitor.

the more frames being rendered, the smoother the gameplay expereince is. just because you cant SEE the frames being renderd, doesn;t mean they aren't there.

think about it, 60fps means you have 60 updates a second. 100 means 100 updates a second. you cant see any difference due to the refresh limit, but the mouse can still be controled, the cursor still moved. and extra 40th of a second can make all the difference in a video game.

you dont even know what you are talking about 😀

whatever you say.

If your monitor has a higher refresh rate (120, 240Hz) then it can output greater than 60FPS.

OMFG, What kind of super eyes do you have?

BTW, 82Db I can barely tolerate my 5850 TOXIC.

It also depends on the response time too. 120hz would require very high response time. 2ms is desireable but that only available on TN panel.. sad

If they only made 2560x1600 with 120hz and IPS panel. OMG that would be amazing, but not even close.

Its not like graphics card can even display that many frames at 2560x1600.

In any driving game I can tell the difference between 40+60 and also 60+80. Just like in a real car (when you leave your house) if you jiggle the steering wheel back and forth. IF your fps is low, you now start steering with a delay. At the same time the gpu and the game engine can draw a new frame it accepts a input from your controller/keyboard or mouse. What don't you people grasp about this ?


edit: Everyone is aware about response time in monitors , 2ms vs 5ms vs 8ms ? Well there are 1000 milliseconds in a second. Its the same principle , response time is lessened in gaming (controlling your car,gun,3rdperson) with higher fps.

I also will change view in driving games , that give me the quickest steering response, and that usually is the view that delivers the fastest fps because of graphics being drawn.

IMO, this is another factor in the balance between IQ and fps. And the reason why we need more powerful gpu cards. Some people want it all.

thanks notty, glad to know there is someone else here who actually gets how pc games work.

As I play more RTS games on my PC, I could see why higher frames are necessary...

Imagine a massive fight on one corner of the map and then having to scroll between home and the fight...

The life of your troops (CoH) lies in how fast you can get to them to give orders. 30 or 60 FPS... pick one...

Most of the RTSes I play seem to hit a CPU limit first, though I completely agree with you. It gets annoying to keep pausing (if you even can) to issue orders.
