The human body isn't superhuman, though...it has and will have limits to what it can do/see/process.

Good info, but I kinda dislike when an article makes you read the entire thing to find out a simple answer. They should post such at the top in a summary, imo.

This bit was interesting and fits this thread, imo:

“I think typically, once you get up above 200 fps it just looks like regular, real-life motion,” DeLong says. But in more regular terms he feels that the drop-off in people being able to detect changes in smoothness in a screen lies at around 90Hz. “Sure, aficionados might be able to tell teeny tiny differences, but for the rest of us it’s like red wine is red wine.”

Yes, but that certain threshold is definitely not at 60 Hz but much higher.

Read the bit at the end of my last post.....the article has claimed(by some people in the field) that the limit is not as high as one thinks.

Irregardless, we can only go so high before the returns become near equivalent to 0.

It's most certainly higher than 90Hz. Most people that argue against are people that don't own higher Hz monitors. I used to argue with my buddy about this all the time, saying the same shit. Until I got a decent monitor. Even my wife who doesn't game noticed the instant I plugged in my 144Hz. Going from 144 to 244 isn't as crazy but there's a noticeable difference as well. At least for me, not as much as 60 to 144 but it's still certainly there. i could go back down to 144Hz and it wouldn't be so bad, but anything lower would be torture and give me headaches.

1. It likely is, but there is likely still a limit and going beyond a limit before that limit will produce diminishing returns over time as one approaches the true max limit.

2. Yes, but how much of that is from hitting that Hz of the new screnjn and not due to bypassing a number between the old monitor's Hz and the new one's? Basically how much of that improvement is due to only bypassing that Hz level or reaching it and not due to just improving the Hz just a bit/in general?

One would have to increase it a bit by bit to see how much improvement each increment added.

3. I've played on all sorts of monitors and to me i've never experienced such....though I am guessing not everyone is the same in such cases and there are exceptions(obv).

That's what I hate about LED lighting. I hate how when it's cycling at 120Hz that I'm sitting in the dark every 8ms. It's so noticeable. The whole world looks like a slide show.

Edit: that's why I don't go out at night, the lights flickering at only 100hz in Australia makes it unbearable. I stay at home with a battery powered torch.

Edit2: I just thought of the greatest pickup line. Next time I go out I'm going to bump into the most attractive woman in the shop and say "oh i'm terribly sorry, I'm a gamer that's used to the silky smooth .0042 second response time of a 240Hz monitor, and the sub .008 second response time of these 100Hz shop LED lights meant I wasn't able to avoid you". I'll let you know how it goes, stay posted.

60hz is a downgrade. Old crt monitors used to be about 75 to 85 hz as standard

If you're playing fast games with precision it's very noticeable. Turn quickly and it looks like a slideshow. For online games the servers response time or tickrate can have an effect.

Made me laugh......+1
I find it funny that you mentioned slide shows and such after the comment above yours also mentioned it.

Also you are right it is noticeable to a degree.

Try testing with the same game, not different ones. Preferably a fast-paced one. Lower the graphics settings if you need to, so it can run at 144 FPS all the time, and then cap the FPS at 60, 100, 120, 144 with MSI Afterburner or RTSS Rivatuner Statistics Server.

Sometimes the game or GPU itself is the problem introducing motion blur like TF2.
There's high speed videos people have made of their monitors on youtube which show some of the problems people talk about.
Like this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUvx81C4bgs

Frametime is another word for what you describe.

A lot of the older games were higher skilled and faster paced. When GoG gave away Aliens versus Predator during Galaxy testing some people were complaining it was broken because it was faster than usual.

I just remembered If Quake was done today.

Anyone knows why we have 144 Hz screens ?
For 120, I understand because it is twice the 60 hz, but why 144 precisely ? Why these extra 24 Hz ?

Because having a higher framerate never hertz.

I think it has something to do with VR and the cinema's movies 24 FPS. A bunch of possible answers here.

We could also ask if different frequency ranges have a subtle effect on peoples brains.
