    so, i have a 280hz monitor. my reaction time is awful compared to others I know, but it just feels smoother and more pleasurable to use for games that support a higher refresh rate.

    I don’t think framrate is tied to reactions. if that was the case, I think most of the popular fighting games (sf6, tekken 8, mk1) wouldn’t be capped at 60fps.

      I think they’re capped at 60 fps specifically to prevent people who have better hardware from having an advantage.

        I had to look it up cause I was curious, and according to this article, the frame data for a character is tied closely to the framerate and not because better hardware means bigger advantage… unless I missed that mentioned in the article
