i found i could still slaughter the noobs at 60 fps XD

TBF once you have played at high FPS dropping down to 60 is like walking in sand.
im not saying you cant play at 60 but you can feel the differance

my son as my old 1080 240Hz screen. i went from that to 1440 165hz but didn't set the refresh rate right and i was playing at 60hz for a bit and it was just horrible like a had a system problem or something

You don't miss what you've never known. Ive only ever gamed at 60Hz. basically 100% of it at 1080p.
yes, higher fps is handy though. to a point. played plenty with v sync on. some players like 120fps/120Hz. I can't even imagine higher than that.

server lag is the only thing that annoyed me. Havent looked much at monitors lately, but i think there are reasonably priced high refresh rate ones around.

demographics of spending limits is a thing. of the 1 billion or more pc gamers. (some estimates are higher) there are plenty that are not in the high end. ie they arent paying 700 aud , or more, for a cpu. not even 500.

im assuming without knowing that 10%, perhaps 20%? are in the high mid range to top end hardware. which leaves a lot of lower specced stuff for the remaining majority.

I 100% felt the difference going from 60fps to 120fps, not so much from 120 to 240
also the desktop experience is better from 60 to 120+ its very noticable to me scrolling, moving windows etc

now whenever I use screen stuck at 60 its horrible its blurry and makes me dizzy

that's the nature of it. once you step up there is no going back.

something to mull over. plenty of affordable 120Hz monitors. now i have to look for 120hz monitors. it never ends
but i dont have 120fps 1440p yet. im aware there is g sync etc. but nothing beats real frames imo

I have time. I'm patient.
