[MrStealYourGirlFriend]

hello guys , so currrently i have two PCs 

A) i9-11900k with a 3080 , 32GB ram , 240hz monitor

B) i3-10100F with a 1060 6Gb , Dual channel 16GB ram , 240hz monitor

 

when i play valorant , my A pc usually gets around 250-400 fps with high settings and feels very smooth 

while my B pc usually gets around 250-300 fps with the lowest setting , both with 240hz monitor with around 240 fps , but why does my A pc feels a lot smoother than my pc B .

sorrry for my bad english , hope everyone understands. thanksss for the help .

Have a look at things like the 99/99.9% frames (or inversely the 1% or 0.1% lows). You may have high FPS, but if you drop to low FPS regularly it can feel less smooth. That's why, for example, a rock solid 30 FPS on consoles can feel better than a shaky 60 FPS (for me at least). That frame consistency is partially responsible for that "smooth" feeling.

Need to look at the frametimes, 1% and 0.1% lows. Without even having to check data I can tell you the 8-core 16 thread chip with 16mb cache will have smoother gameplay than the 4 core 8 thread chip with only 6mb cache.
