What's the advantage of 75 Hz?

[rasmasyean]

I thought the standard for most video and games is 30 / 60 FPS.

The Radeon "properties" says:
Maximum reported refresh rate: 75 Hz

What exactly does this do? Thanks.

Basically means that if the monitor connected supports 75Hz it can display at that frequency. Really it is how often a sec the picture on the monitor can refresh.

Means that monitor can support up to that frequency. The advantage? Much smoother/fluid gameplay.

BUT, if you don't have hardware capable of providing a specific range of FPS, or are unwilling to drop game settings low enough to achieve those FPS, you may also experience screen tearing or other issues with higher refresh rates.

How do you change the FPS in the Radeon software. I can't find the setting.

How do you CHANGE the FPS? You don't. That's what G-sync and Vsync are for, if your FPS are too high, it will lock them at the desired setting. If your FPS are too low, you reduce your game quality settings until FPS come back up to where they need to be, or get better hardware. Of course, that's the very short, very condensed version. There's much more to it than that, but that's the gist of it.

I know. But that's the general reason why people want high refresh rates. For some games even exceeding 30fps can break things like physics (ehem, Batman AK). SF4 for example will break once FPS exceeding 60.
