I didn't say framerate, I said from what your monitor can display. FPS and Hz are not synonymous.

Why would you play a 60 fps game on a 1,000hz screen?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You've got it the wrong way around. People play very high FPS games on (comparatively) lower Hz monitors. This has been common practice in competitive pvp shooters for decades.

This is my point. A 1000Hz screen would, most likely, be played at as close to 1000 fps as possible. I am not sure why you think i have it the wrong way when it is you.

Your point was that game logic doesn't run independently from your framerate, trying to refute my comment saying that game logic runs independently from your monitor. You're clearly severely confused about the topic at hand.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have not tried to refute. Just gave an example of game logic running slower than the screen and a question to why you wouldn't try to equalize fps and Hz. How am i confused again?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You gave an example of game logic being tied to framerate, which again, is a completely different matter. And generally, why would you ask me why you wouldn't equalize it, when you claim that the reason I've given was the point you were making in the first place, even though it's a completely different type of example? You make no sense at all.
