  • I switched from a 144Hz 165Hz monitor that I used for years to a 240Hz monitor, and yes of course there are somewhat diminishing returns, but if I can run a game at 240 fps then I can absolutely tell the difference between the two. Not only is motion noticeably smoother but games just feel so much better to control (especially shooters) when you have faster visual feedback on your inputs, even outside of multiplayer games.

    The game I’m playing most right now is Deadlock which I get between 140-170 fps on average in, and even just in that range it starts to feel comparatively sluggish when the framerate starts to dip.

    Edit: I actually just remembered my last monitor was overclocked to 165Hz and it was still a significant leap.
