Being someone who loves video games, I spend a lot of time discussing them on the internet via various Reddit communities and forums and when I can stand it; the YouTube comments section. One topic that seems to keep coming up in the ever-growing battle between PC and console is the difference between 30 and 60 FPS. or rather the lack thereof, in the case of some subjects. In this report, we will take a look at some of these topics and try to clarify some of the misinformation that is often used in them.
THE GREAT FRAME RATE DEBATE

Does a 500Hz monitor exist?
Tech giant BOE has developed a new technology resulting in the construction of the world’s first 500Hz gaming monitor, which will soon enable a smoother gaming experience for gamers, according to a report spotted on the Sina Chinese website.
The 49-inch super ultrawide QHD dual curved gaming monitor is the equivalent of two 27-inch QHD displays side-by-side, giving you more productivity. HDR 1000 supports a peak brightness value of 1,000 nits. With Samsung QLED technology that delivers brighter, more lifelike colors.
Which is better: 60 fps vs 30 fps?
It’s a question that has haunted us since the birth of film: what’s the best frame rate to shoot at?
What should you choose between 60 FPS and 30 FPS? Well, depending on what you want to do with your footage, one might be better than the other.
Why do animations stutter at low frame rates?
When an animation is displayed on the monitor, the graphics processor must draw and redraw the images to produce an animation. At 60 FPS, the computer draws 60 images per second, with each image continuing the first image.
When you reduce the frame rate, the animation will advance faster than your eyes can see the images. A ten-frame-per-second animation produces only one-sixth of the photos as a 60-frame-per-second animation. So where you would see “tweens” showing how the image moved from one place to another, you simply see the image teleport forward.
Is there an advantage to playing at high FPS?
There is a definite benefit to high FPS gaming gear if you spend more than a small amount of time each week playing video games. High-end game drives (with high FPS) give their owner a greater edge and boost than you can ever imagine. Maybe even a 90% increase!
But there is a point where the highest Hz monitors are barely higher than any eye can see or tell a difference. If your monitor is at the fastest speed you can actually see, it doesn’t mean you’re any better at gaming because your response rate just can’t keep up.
