Is 870 FPS even a thing? Lmao

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 16 points 4 weeks ago

Given that no display has a refresh rate that high, in practical terms, no

I mean, it can be. ive had menus reporting north of 1500fps.

There's no real benefit that high though, and even at like 500fps most professional players would be unaffected by more.

annoying bit about some game menus, when you cant cap the frames in-game and the menu has stuff going on so the frames jump to like 900 and your PC hits all fans into overdrive.

that's some real diminishing returns at that point. i know theres the whole "the eye can't see more than 60 fps" but i can tell the difference in just moving my mouse cursor on my 160hz and 60hz monitors. But from there on up it has to be harder to perceive. also what can run at 870fps except Overwatch on low settings.

On CRTs I stopped being able to see a difference from around 80 Hz so I suspect the reason I see a difference between 75 and 165 Hz on my current panel is due to ghosting or some other shortcoming in the display technology

This definitely seems to differ by person, difference in my mouse cursor movement on 60fps vs 165fps is extremely apparent.

How long is a piece of string?
