My background is in telecommunications (the technical side of video production), so I know that 30fps is (or was?) considered the standard for a lot of video. TV and movies don’t seem choppy when I watch them, so why does doubling the frame rate seem to matter so much when it comes to games? Reviewers mention it constantly, and I don’t understand why.
Because it isn’t unless you play competitive really. Since I generally hate sweaty online competitive games I don’t really mind if frames are under 60 sometimes. The only online games I play are slower paced where a frame coming slightly quicker wouldn’t be a huge advantage.
That’s why I built a high end PC with a 144hz 1440p monitor.
