      It ticks me off when i see twitch streamers with the fps displayed and its running at 300+ fps. What a waste of electricity, money and hardware.

        Eh, more frames means better latency, but up to what point it still makes sense is a whole other story.

          Turn on Nvidia reflex/AMD Anti-Lag and you got both, lower latency and lower power usage

            Reflex at 100 fps still won’t compare to 300 fps without Reflex though

              I wonder why, because technically it should be pretty much the same thing

                Reflex just shaves off the extra overhead you’d get from having the gpu run at its limit. It won’t make a low framerate have the same latency as a drastically higher one

                    I think I might be too dense to get what you mean, then

          for pro players

          Exactly. Most people aren’t pro players however. I’ve also seen this with games like Baldur’s Gate fwiw.

          Not only that but people seem to do it sometimes just to flex, when turning on VSync is an objectively better experience with less screen tearing. There’s ZERO reason to drive 300fps when your monitor is only capable of 144Hz.

              You know the VSync setting had to be enabled in a lot of games for VRR to work right?

      Not only does this reduce GPU power usage but CPU as well.

      Already set. I’m not that competitive player and my reflexes are worse than a sloth’s. So I didn’t even bother to buy a higher refresh rate monitor than 60.
