So we can all agree these are the minimum acceptable refresh rates for various genres in 2016?
Twitch shooter: 120hz with low persistence (like nVidia ULMB or BenQ Blur Reduction)
Standard shooter: 120hz
Racing games: 120hz
Figthan gaems 60hz (fast enough for 120 but frame targeting and shit exists in competitive play)
Platformer: 60hz
RTS 60hz
Tactical, slower paced shooter (ARMA, Squad, SWAT...) 60hz
Open world 60hz
Flight sims/games (combat): 60hz
Turn based: 30hz
Strategy/management 30hz
Flight sims (commercial planes) 30hz
MMO 30hz
You forgot
Every current gen console game 30hz with drops
Almost every single 60gz monitor on the market today will OC to 75hz, and many can go up to 90hz.
75hz is all you need really, the noticeable difference between 75hz and 60hz is bigger than the difference between 144hz and 75hz.

How can somebody take your post seriously when you say anything besides management style games are OK at 30fps?
Your mom shouldn't have snorted coke off niggers dick during her pregnancy.
>>342819085
Not OP, but I would even go so far and say NO game should ever have below 60 fps, only console fags who don't know any better will think otherwise.

>acceptable
>>342819085
So 60hz is crucial in minesweeper?
>>342819184
Considering the genres I put in 30 are pretty much PC exclusive, calling me a console fag is pretty retarded

my university has a LED panel that can go up to 1200hz and is used for human reaction testing
diminishing returns aren't a real meme until about 6000hz from what i have been told
>>342819049
Really depends on the game. In racing sims I just can't play below 120 because you lose out a lot of information about what the car is doing and will make more mistakes. Even if I can't immediately tell the difference between 100 and 120 just looking at a replay, it's dramatic when actually cornering
>>342819943
>diminishing returns
I don't think you know what that means. Diminishing returns are "real" from like 5hz

I own a 120hz montior. Its a meme. Stable 60 fps is more than enough for you
>>342820084
>I own a 120hz montior. I'm a casual. Stable 60 fps is more than enough for the games i play at the level I play
fixed
>>342820084
Stable 60 FPS is clearly better than wonky 100/120FPS, period.

A real 240hz monitor is coming soon for the first time since CRTs.
>>342820084
My KDR went from 4 to 6 literally over night when I bought a 144.
And that's in BF4 which is pretty slow paced, it's even more important in faster games. You're just a casual.

Monitors have been really held back by the maximum bandwidth of HDMI/DP. DP 1.4 just released, so you're going to see a sudden increase in rez/hz now.
Whats the translation between hz and fps?
Does 144hz mean 144 fps?
I dont know anything about monitors.

>fish that get accidentally cucked by manlets
LOL
>>342818185
Anthony Burch thread?
>>342821067
hz means "Hertz" which is just a generic measurement of frequency (1 per second)
In monitors hz is how often the physical screen updates, FPS is how often your graphics card renders a new frame and sends it to the screen. So they're not linked unless you use v-sync, and a 144hz screen is useless if you only reach 70 fps in games anyways
