Thanks for explaining things that are so basic that people think it's not worth to talk about. These basic stuffs are important. Would love to see more

[ignaciovicencio]

Quick and easy explanation, well done!

[joerust]

Super simple explanation, straight to the point. Thank you.

[adityajha]

Short. To the Point. Informational. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you, just you holding the hdmi and explaining the interaction between that and what it’s plugged into made it make complete sense to me. Great explanation

[aadeshkapadne]

So my processor, ram, graphics card, etc are responsible for the FPS
and my refresh rate (Hz) is solely dependent on what my display is capable of

[fluffyearl]

Correct me if I'm wrong.

So basically, no matter how high your FPS is, it will be capped by your monitor's refresh rate?.


Like,
250 FPS on a 60 hz monitor will only give you 60 FPS?
250 FPS on a 75 hz monitor will only give you 75 FPS?
250 FPS on a 144 hz monitor will only give you 144 FPS?

Changing through frames is just your computer receiving new data and changing the pixels on that screen, so if the pixels will show movement 60 times per second, that would make it so movement seems smooth since there will be less movement for pixels change

Thank you for a quick and brief explanation on FPS and Hz 👍🏻 Big help!

[Greazzy_G]

Short and sweet! Easy to understand with no extra BS! why can't all videos be like this

[chrispawelczyk]

Thank you, I'm new to the pc gaming world and I truly appreciate these videos with simplified explanations

[xileys]

I like how he says “redraws the screen this many times a second” I saw another video and it was more like explained but like harder to understand so this is better than that

[JustMelsie]

Thank you for the simple explanation. Other videos were still leaving me confused for some reason.

[machspeed]

Not gonna lie I’ve been looking for this type of answer for a long time in this video definitely simplifies it. Thank you for this.

its funny back in the mid 2000 HZ was really never talked about cause high refresh rate monitors were really not a thing but FPS was, there was a huge difference between 30 fps and 60 fps and even 100 fps. But other than V-sync there was no software the monitor Hz Vs FPS from gpu plus we have cables now to worry about. Makes me think we were lied to about the chase for higher fps when weren't even talking about refresh rate on monitors.

[masterrzeke]

Computer: generates 60 fps.
Monitor: refreshes 144 times per second(144Hz)
You only see 60 fps.

Computer: generates 150 FPS
Monitor: refreshes 60 times per second (60Hz)
You only see 60 FPS because the monitor is refreshing 60 times.

Easy to understand. Thanks Max. Subscribed 👍

The pc I’m getting can output about 180-220 FPS. Does this mean I need a 240hz monitor to see all the benefits? I was going to get a 144hz monitor for budgeting reasons but I want to be able to enjoy my PC for as much as it’s worth

[showjaypee]

So if my GPU can output 120 but my monitor is 60hz, even if my FPS counter is showing 120+, I’m actually not getting 120? So pretty much FPS = MHZ both are cap?

[KellerFkinRyan]

so, for example, lets say I have a 144hz monitor. would my experience be the same if my fps was 144, 160, 200, 300, or 400? meaning, is the hz the bottleneck in that situation, and there is no benefit to having an fps number greater than 144?
