More than 60FPS on a 60hz monitor?

[cheeze_tartz]

Never really thought about this, but will you be able to see more than 60 FPS on a 60hz monitor?

[Enderman]

no

never

it just causes tearing

[BrandonTheCat]

Wat.

No.

[Guest Kloaked]

The human eye can't see past 12 fps anyways.

[niofalpha]

If you overclock your monitor, then yes.

 

If not it'll just cause tearing.

Yeah....No.

We might not be able to see it, but we can detect the difference, and I really prefer not to have my eyes bleed. If you want to have a major headache, try watching a screen running below 30fps for an hour.

So if fraps say 120 FPS I'm only seeing 60 fps?

Yes.

yup. Once you see 60 FPS, theres no going back.

[BrandonTheCat]

So if fraps say 120 FPS I'm only seeing 60 fps?

Yep. Monitors that say 60hz are stuck at 60hz.

[cheeze_tartz]

Yes.

k, thanks!

[Guest Kloaked]

Yeah....No.

But it's been scientifically proven on a random article I found on Google that anything above 12 fps is a waste! The writer said he was a optical scientist!

yes, and 24 FPS is so cinematic.......

[Guest Kloaked]

yes, and 24 FPS is so cinematic.......

 

You're right! We can see 12 fps per eye, so 24 fps in total!

 

 

I hope you realize by now I'm just BS'ing.

[BrandonTheCat]

Some are overclockable.

True, but the general monitors... 60Hz is 60 FPS STAHP!

[AlwaysFSX]

So if fraps say 120 FPS I'm only seeing 60 fps?

Yes.

No, wrong. You're seeing all the frames, just fragments of them because the monitor can't update them quick enough.

yeah, pretty much figured that out.

what are u talking about. Play a game at 12 FPS. It's horrible.

It's very cinematic, just like going to the movies!

If you're talking about tearing, that only happens when the monitor receives a new image while it's in the middle of drawing a frame. The monitor isn't constantly drawing though, for example if you have a 60Hz monitor, that means each frame is displayed for 16.667ms, but that doesn't mean after 8.333ms the monitor is halfway done drawing the frame, etc. It only spends a short time drawing the frame, and then holds it on the screen until the next refresh. So if you receive a new frame after the current frame is finished drawing, it's entirely possible to skip it completely if it receives a second new frame before the next refresh cycle begins.
