Love you Dazs!
this is good but can we also get a video on ping? i play on 180 ping on average and would like to hear your thoughts on comparing under 70 ping to high ping and what difference would it make on being competitive in high ranks in different games...
Here in brazil a 144hz monitor cost more than a minimum wage, but even with that I got one and man the difference is huge
Brazil
Brazil moment
Here in russia such monitor costs double the minimum wage and I don't have one
@Calisthenics Life it is
@@kurushimee random curiosity but if you convert the prices in your country to usd how much would it cost? Wondering if it's a difference in minimum wage or the actual pricing of them is different
I've been playing 60fps/hz on 720p since season 0. I've practiced all I could with the hardware I have. Now, I'm building a pc with the potential to hit 1080p 240hz. I'm so excited, should be done building by the end of the year!
so whats the update
@@rinobito2 I love it so much! I've seen a difference in my reaction time and aiming. It's still a hit or miss with my flicks on moving targets, but my tracking is so much better! I'm running a 3060 ti so I'm not getting a consistent 240fps, but it's still a huge difference (capped at 190fps because of apex bug, but apex fixed that now)
@@xStratus101 okay im sold, time for my upgrade, thank you
@@rinobito2 now's the time! Most GPUs are almost down to MSRP. I just wished I knew this as I would've liked a 3070. But, I got a 3060 ti also at MSRP so I'm still happy
Went from ps5 to pc and the difference is extremely noticeable. More frames allow more control over recoil.
You are my favorite Apex youtuber, thanks for the good content!
from someone that gets easily 200 fps on a 144hz monitor: it's night and day, quite literally.
before i thought it was kind of a waste of money, but then I gave it a shot.
my aim is kinda okay, so when i switched i literally started getting double the kills, from 3--4 each game to 7--8 - also I believe corridor digital showed a study that human eyes don't have a specific frame rate, it's adaptative to focus, but if it was a camera it'd be around 500 fps. so it's definitely notable.
I gotta say man, I watch a lot of your videos and the other day you wiped our whole squad. This is that clip. Great content, good win and thanks for getting me to be a better place in Apex!
P.S. that really is my squad at the end
Even watching how you engaged us I've learned something that can improve my squad.... again thanks for the guifance lol
recently played apex in 60hz down from 240hz. The things main things i noticed were higher input delay on 60hz, and definetly harder to spot people at a distance, almost felt blind.
My aim was still consistant and I was even hitting some shots I normally wouldnt hit. I almost feel like you can predict enemies movements better?
However once you try 144 or 240hz monitors theres is absolutely no going back.
I highly encourage everyone to buy a 144hz monitor (if your hardware can support it) because it is such a treat to your eyes and to play on.
what monitor do you reccomend for a ps5 and will 60hz to 120hz monitor make a difference for warzone. thats what i mostly play
@@hammond5315 ik this is super mega late but no there’s no difference. Consoles currently max out at 60fps expect for the switch which caps at 30fps so you’d be wasting money going for a monitor higher than 60hz
@Hammond won't make a difference if the game doesn't support 120 hz. If mw2 supports 120 hz like fortnite does then you should be all set.
I play on ps4 and it probably averages 50 fps. Now crossplay is a thing I am thinking of going to a PC at 165hz... I am good on ps4 (diamond) but the fps and input lag is noticeable and annoying af!
Great video and I love the use of Chrono Trigger music!
man, is really amazing that you put music of chrono trigger in this videos, i love it!!
This really helped me understand all of this thank you so much
Love the Chrono Trigger music in the background 😩💕👌🏾
"Can't see above 98 fps."
I play on an average of 70 fps. I can see the difference when my computer randomly jumps to 100 fps or more.
Thanks for the video.
I play at 20 FPS with FPS drops
Good topic, good video 🔥

Build your own PC then, it's not that hard and they are pretty cost efficient, my last PC (built in 2017) cost around $1500 and it can still run most AAA game on high graphics setting at 1080p 60hz
@@shepherdlavellen3301 I am thinking of....but its really hard to get a GPU in hand.
1:26 - Well, there's a margin at what point image-tearing actually happens, though. - I don't know if it's an exact point or number or whatever, but it's when the framerate is off a certain amount compared to the monitor's refresh-rate. For example, I know that with my 75Hz, whenever the framerate would drop down to... I guess below 45 or something, tearing would accur, as well as when the framerate was a similar amount above it. So it could be like 25-30fps below and above it before it starts to happen. - It basically just means that it's "out of sync" too much for the image to be displayed properly. - I don't know if it's the same kind of margin at much higher refresh-rates or if it's tighter or larger or what, but yea. You generally want to sit near the refresh-rate and not go over or below too much if you want to avoid image-tearing.
This is such a big and technical topic that can't be really easily explained if someone doesn't know how frames work, vysnc, hertz, frames, frame buffer windows. In short, if you have low end specs, buy a high hertz monitor and play with no vertical sync and cap your frame rate to atleast 60 or higher, (slightly lower than your avg framerate). This gives no screen tearing and better input latency
You are a legend for playing heavens tower in the background. Also great video. Also high fps/refresh rates really do make a difference in gameplay for me. Going from 60fps to 144 you can tell a huge difference.
144 is nothing until u see the big boi 240hz!
The song is called Corridors of Time from Chrono Trigger composed by Yasunori Mitsuda
But yes the song is the best VGM of all time ^_^
@@mkooij you know what idk what made me say heavens tower lol. This is also a great song too! Idk how I mixed them up lol
@@CraftySama haha I agree. I do get it though they sound a little bit similar with the bell sounds
listening to explain this is like talking about Graffiti intellectually . its such a beautiful thing.
Will having a monitor running 144hz while experiencing 60fps in some games hurt my visual experience? Or will it just be the same as if it was set to 60hz?
Which game is this? Looks fantabulous!
Apex Legends :)
@@Dazs Damn! I have seen it in so many GPU comparison video's but it never looked this good! I am going to download it, thanks and great video by the way!
definitely, jumping from low hz to high hz monitor will make u play like u have never touched the game before. I personally jumped from 60hz to 144hz recently expecting better results but i actually started playing worse for a short while lol. It does take a little getting used to before ur experience will start to improve.
That's odd. The moment I jumped from 60hz to 144hz I instantly started playing better.
I'd love your thoughts: I have a 165hz monitor but my computer specs are pretty mid tier so I can't get a high frame rate on apex without using the adaptive resolution setting. I usually play with it set to 100 but do you think it would be worth to just set it lower so my game looks crisp? It just makes things so blurry but 60 frames feels so choppy on my screen. I just want to have consistent frames at whatever rate so I can have consistent gameplay. (fyi I play a lot of valorant as well and can get 165+ frames consistently so I found the monitor upgrade worth it; apex is the only game that I play where I struggle with consistent frames).
Is that monitor the 1440p one? I own that monitor also, just figured ask making sure know the resolution. Remember higher resolution impacts frame rate.
@@Dazs no it's 1920p. I've tried playing at a lower res before but it felt better to play at 1920+adaptive resolution. I tend to switch between the two but I've never stuck with one. depends on how badly I feel like I want to sacrifice my game quality for more frames
Can some one aswer a question ? I play a game where my pc jumps from 60 to 100 fps, and when i went to buy a monitor the 144 hz and the 240 where the same price, so i opted for the 240 hz also cuz im thinking to upgrade my pc... but right now, witch would have been better ? playing 60/100 fps on a 144hz monitor or a 240hz monitor ? Doesnt G-sync fixes the problem ?
Playin at 240 feels so dang good
Crono music in the background, love it lol
What's the song at around? 6:35 i forget the name
reference at the end was perfect
So is running an lg oled as a monitor enough? Or would you grab something else?
Even if you have a potato pc (gpu prices are still extremely high, that's my situation as well) and can only run this game at around 70-100fps, a high refresh rate freesync/gsync monitor is still definitely worth it
wait really i have the same probem , can you link me the one you bought
70 to 100 fps is not a potato pc, its a blessing. try gaming on an rx 550 gt 1030, now thats an experience i wouldnt wish on anyone
I have a 165hz monitor but can only play at 99 because of screen tearing and dead pixels idk if it’s the monitor or the gpu which is an 2060 I was using an hdmi cord but I got a display cord coming tomorrow hopefully that fixes it if not I guess I need a better monitor. Any advice is welcome.
isn't it amazing that we can battle with others from around the world ( or at least your area) in a virtual world and for the most part everything works lol

1:48 so the fact that my TV is set to 120hz means nothing because I'm playing on an XS|S. Or am I misunderstanding?
I need help i know most people cap there fps at 190 in apex and I understand why but i just got a 360hz monitor and a 240hz gotta em both at a super deal but i trying to decide on one I mostly play Apex like literally all the time and I’ve tried uncapping the frame rate so it runs at the max 300 on Apex I have a 3070 TI so it drops down in like super heated fights it drops down to about 200 so I met a captain at 2:40 and that holds it pretty damn steady but I’m trying to decide whether I just need a cab at 190 and return the 360 Hz because the 240 looks better any input AW2521h and lg27gn750 im used to a 27 but i see the benefits of of 25 someone help
Daz,my laptop is 120hz,but when I play apex the normal fps I get is 50-80,do yk what I could do
Much wanted video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
what specs are your pc running on to get so many gosh dang frames.
I remember when I moved from my 360 to my Xbox one and I played Battlefield 4 which wasn’t my first time playing, but I literally sucked at the game for some reason. Seeing a game in person that was so smooth compared to my 15 years of 30fps was incredible.
Everybody thinks higher fps is about a smoother image and seeing more frames but the real benefit from it is less input lag, you feel more connected to the game and its this that improves your aim and makes you perform better. People focus on the wrong things, most people playing high fps have screen tearing etc etc this looks bad but it doesn't matter because the game feels better to play.
So as important as ping/latency: the lower the better, in this case, because you are less disconnected from the action.
How about an updated guide on fixing all the lagging, stuttering and framerate drops. Someone with as much time in the game should have come across these issues. I get contsant frames but bad frametimes
I've been struggling whole season with this and just last week got a solution on my own - changing resolution to borderless window, matching your desktop resolution.
Dunno if gonna do the trick for you, but it reduced my stuttering a loot.
Thank You.
What's the background song?
but do I get oled at 60hz or 1440p at 240hz laptop? rtx 3060?
Really fast tldr: It's 2021. You can find 144hz monitors for
FACTS I definitely recommend getting one. But in case you have no money, parents won't spend on one, or just other stuff is a priority well...least have a solid understanding but also if you are thinking 144hz vs 240hz the hardware set up you have.
30-60fps videos won't be any smoother, but browsing will (you probably know this, but maybe some people don't idk lol)
Literally just moving your mouse on a 60hz makes you want to puke once you tried 144/240hz

What song is this again?
By the way, speaking from a graphics engine standpoint and doing software engineering. FPS in game and Hertz have been decoupled for a long time.
What you really need to look at is maximum, minimum, and average frame rate delay, that's right, I said delay. That is how long it will at said frames per second before it changes. Also, the higher the delay the less likely you are to see your opponent. Now, this is not just your monitor, this is your card. Turning down the settings, while it does help the delay to a certain degree, it doesn't actually help too much because of the way the operating system, the video and network drivers work, as well as your graphics card and monitor. There's a lot more complexity to this question than people realize.
People don't under what Hertz on a progressive scan monitor actually means, it's different than the older standard called, interlace.
The other thing that screws you up is hitting peaks and valleys, going up and down in the frame rate when your delay is fast in one direction but slow in another, this is actually what causes the simulator sickness (like motion sickness but much worse). It's a sudden increase in delay that causes your frame rate to plummet and stay down there, which is when you get sick.
5:47 When I switched to 144, first thing I did was try to play PUBG. The first impression was that altho there were more frames now, the perceived speed at which thing happen in game became not faster, but slower to me! Not in a way that of stuttering, but in a way where I have bigger window to react because I can see stuff sooner and in more detail
thanks for this comment. gives me hope that my aim will be less ass. it appears that I always react too slowly when peaking corners in rainbow 6 siege
I can confirm... having a 240hz monitor, doesn't make you a better gamer. that's a huge! misco from companies that sells them. it helps, but... won't make you a star. your points are right on the nail man. like I play on a 60hz with a very good input response. I didn't see.... a single difference on my eyes. wise man! :)
Anyone knows the name of this song playing through the video? It’s so damn good.
Thank you so much,i got a 100 hertz monitor but when i play apex it doesnt feel smooth,this helped me realised whats going on
I'm playing on a 120hz monitor, well i can see no more than 120fps right? I have a 3080 and im watching for a monitor with 144hz or more, the difference between 120 and 144 Is really a huge difference? Someone can help me? (Sorry for my no english 😂🤦🏽)
gotta say i appreciate that CT music playing. set it off!
Nice!
I purchased a 144hz monitor to replace my 60hz monitor and didn’t notice any difference. The FPS on both monitors were exactly the same and maintained 100 FPS. I ended up returning the 144hz monitor and staying with my current setup. Wondering if cables have a factor to play with the FPS performance?
Maybe you havent set your monitors refresh rate to 144hz in windows settings?
@@WisdomPowerCourage Good call. I played with all the graphic and display settings and still didn’t notice a difference. I’ll try again in the future cause I do want to upgrade my monitors eventually.
@@JonnyxPants Very good
You need to be able to hold 144fps 24/7 to feel the benefit of 144hz. If your computer cannot do that, there is no need to purchase a 144hz monitor as you are not able to sustain the frames hence why you do not feel a marginal difference between what is probably more closer to 60-100fps (im sure your fps fluctuates through fights if its barely holding 100fps to begin with) which in a lot situations could cause even MORE screen tearing than if you were just playing on a 60hz capped monitor. So like you said, it could have ultimately been worse off for you than vs a 60hz due to your computer only being able to push ~100fps.
@@henlolneh No, there is a positive difference in both input lag and smoothness of image. Yes, screen tear might be an issue, but you do indeed notice a difference switching from 60hz to 144hz, even if your fps is not high enough. But it's not OPTIMAL, like he explains in the video.
uuhh i dont play these kinds of games is there a diffrence between regular games??
Love the chrono trigger music
obligatory comment to support da boi DAZ
You didn't talk about 240Hz. It overall gives you advantage, but you need consistent framerate for that. And Apex has terrible optimisation above 200FPS so there will be drops even with the best hardware.
So for imo Apex it's better to cap FPS at like 190
Yea it's better to cap it at 190fps. Even tho you can't get the fps. 360hz or 240hz will still make your experience much smoother as Linus tested this already
Im running a GE73 7re raider MSI laptop with 120hz but idk im really feeling like regular PC settings dont with this sht . :S
been trynna run streaming budget at none , bilinear etc but if i turn on 2gb and trili its literally same mostly even better perfomance which i dont understand.
i have like 80fps in cities and drop to 50-60 in Larger areas like idk
Are we getting the next gen console update this season?
It’s supposed to come out next year around the 3 year anniversary along with cross progression and level cap increase
Yeah it’s better to play at higher FPS but at a certain point your brain will not be able to perceive the difference. So you should probably only go for 60 FPS or 140 FPS, the higher FPS might not improve anything.
people with 2080 and i5 9th gens can yall run 144 fps? mine crashes after 5mins
the question is what to do with my brand new like 60hz monitor if i buy 120hz or more
Use it as a second monitor. I have three, a 60hz, 144hz, and 165hz.
Does it matter for 2d games, 3d platformers?
I still game on a console (PS5) on a tv. Recently purchased 65inch Samsung s90c to take advantage of what the ps5 has to offer. I can honestly say gaming from 60fps to 120fps is a world of a difference in my opinion. I can only imagine getting into PC gaming & being able to run 240fps! 😳🤯
Bro, I'm dropping bodies while playing on a 50" projection screen. I just black out and see red.
Monitor or TV bro a lot of TVs are out with high refresh rates
Yeah but the reality is that if you want to match top end refresh rates you need to play at lower quality and lower ress to match up.
I prefer quality over performance and i prefer to have my gpu not working flat out so i prefer lower temps and better graphics quality.
To play like you said you need to low graphics and resolution
I thought 120 hz was all i needed, then i got a 175, and when i switched back to the 120 to see if there was a difference. There was. It looked slightly blurrier for a minute then my eyes got used to it.
I went from playing on my TV to a 144hz then 240hz nd idk why but games play so smooth now, I would of gotten a 360hz if I knew they even existed
I remember back when I switched from my 60 Hz monitor to a 144 Hz one and just being amazed and how the game looked 😲
I definitely was able to hit a bit more shots with more frames, but being a better player came down to me putting the time in to practice!
Hey!😄 I know you!
@@sechabatheletsane9784 oh hey funny seeing you here
I'm surprised you've made no comments on free sync and g-sync, which are completely necessary for screen tears
Focused on hz and fps aspect. Going info g sync and free sync I would do a separate video.
I was playing at 120fps vsync for a long time since I only have a 120hz monitor. But recently I turned off vsync and locked the fps to max out at 240fps using rtss. Even though I have a 120hz monitor, letting the fps get to 240fps drastically improved my aim. It just feels so much more responsive.
less input lag
@@yoked391 why caping with rtss and not in the files?
Is it only interesting for fast shooters like csgo or what ever? I play games like Death Stranding, F1 Manager 22, Far Cry, Men of War, Tomb Raider.
Will I have a huge benefit from 144hz with 1440p.
Now I have 60hz 1440p and it feels fine.
my experience is that 60htz to 120htz is massive and 120htz to 240htz i cant really tell the difference
It sucks when your pc cant keep up with the refresh rate of your monitor, I have a 144hz but my fps barely gets 120fps in apex i still dont want to upgrade my 1070ti since gpu are still expensive af but man it must be nice to have a stable 144 fps.
Shouldnt you be able to turn down the graphics settings to reach it? 1070ti is perfectly capable at reaching 144 fps on low settings
@@beenguy5887 yea i already have mine at low on everything but its not really constant 100+ fps for some reason in some areas I have like 75-90 fps and I can definitely feel it when it drops below 100 fps
Patiently waiting for the next gen update on apex.....
Came here for the hz differences, stayed for the chrono music :)
Someone wanna hit me with the song info? 😅
Thanks for bringing this up Dazs.
My current monitor goes max 75Hz, GPU is a Radeon RX570 (4GB), 8GB RAM and my best ping is 50, though ingame it usually rises to 75.
When I play my fps matches the monitor 75Hz and my ping. So everything is about 75.
Do you think that changing to a 144Hz monitor will make a big difference considering the other things?
Kind of, a gaming monitor would have a 1 ms response time for competitive advantage. I tried this with my dual monitor setup, my primary is a 240hz msi mag251rx and another regular msi ips 60hz, i set the game on 60 fps to test and even though it wasnt as smooth i could notice the ‘instant-ness’ on my gaming monitor its just responsive, but that’s it. If you want to fully experience a smoother gaming you should have an average of 144 fps. Ping doesn’t matter in refresh rates but the game it self so those two things are different.
I've been patiently waiting for a 120fps mode for the series X for what seems like forever 🥴
Well limited size and hardware so makes sense 😂😂
After playing destiny 2 and rogue company in 120fps on the ps5. That’s All Apex needs , it’s already super buttery smooth on my gaming monitor. 🥶
@@General_Li_Shin not that limited. lol, give me a fucking break.
It doesn’t make your aim better….it gives you the chance to aim better . Like the shoes analogy, can you run faster with shoes vs without …probably now imagine boots vs running shoes that’s how I see it. Running shoes won’t make you faster …but they give you a chance to run faster
that backround music. i need the title
That Crono Trigger intro music tho
I always wanted to make a survey how many FPS average gamers play on 60Hz or more..very curious about it .
I will do a poll on it later this week :)
Merci!
A comparison with basketball shoes is not even close, as the owner of 144hz display I can guarantee you will get better with 144hz monitor assuming you can dish out 144fps with your PC (even 120 is totally enough), in a few attempts I tried going back to 60 or 75 just for the heck of it, it's like what I would describe playing on 20-25fps would look like, it's not possible to go back, it looks and feels unplayable {i.e. when you do 180° or 360° turn with your mouse, you can clearly feel you missed half the images ( you didn't see half of the transition) it's a feeling of losing the image hence why the 20-25fps comparison}.
Actually, casual gamers will get better with more fps. The better gamer you are, the less important high fps will get (to a point) compared to the casual gamer because the brain of an experienced gamer can more easily fill in the blanks in between frames. The causal gamer is less capable to predict what happens between frames. This translates to slower reaction times and worse tracking. This means: the casual gamer will get a strong improvement with more fps, compared to lower fps. The experienced gamer will also get an improvement with more fps, but it will be much smaller compared to lower fps. Linus did a video on this. Basically, the casual gamer can narrow the skill gap significantly with a higher fps rig.
he did a follow up video aswell with shroud,and yes it does help but its not going to make you a pred if you're in gold....
I craving for one 144hz. I'm from Brazil too but for now I made goals on my stream to help me bc I play Apex with a LCD monitor sadge
It's so unfair you guys have to pay such prices for electronics... here in Italy we have a lot of taxes, but it's not that bad, plus i can always order from Amazon De for fair prices if i can't them on the italian version.
Example: mouse supposed to cost 80 euro, 100 in Italy, 80 in Germany.
people say it's night and day. I have a 240hz monitor and can hit 240+, and I have been cycling between 60, 120, 240... I cannot fucking tell at all.
For me on my Series x and lgc1: 60 frames is absolut ok,120 frames is only 20 percent better ON CONTROLLER, but mouse a keyboard on PC its far more better than the 20 percent on CONTROLLER...
Risky move for the last kill. Using the battery and not a med kit was almost pointless depending on if he was planning to use his secondary or just kraber. I guess he could have leg shot you for 117 and you woulda lived still but a body shot or hs of course woulda been sadge gg
I have a 60Hz TV/Monitor and a Benq 144hz, the framerate make a HUGe difference.
People are always on about "the competitive edge", but I think that's just brainwashing by... the gaming-culture, or whatever you wanna call it. - SURE, response-time (as in, everything altogether, from system-performance to monitor performance and peripheral-input and the player) is helpful. The smoother and more responsive everything is, the nicer and more direct the experience and performance are. - However, I've topped leaderboards back in the days of Pentium 4, or actually when a lot of people already moved to the Core 2 generation, playing with an average of like 45fps. It just doesn't really matter if you just play well (and I'm not that exceptional). Besides, you learn to deal with whatever your hardware does and compensate for it. Like... I would just look "through" the blur or just use the image and camera in certain ways. A lot of it is by feel and it doesn't really matter what you see.
But just to add what I think about refresh-rate, is that it's important to tighten up the image. Meaning, they speak of reducing motion-blur, which it does, because the image literally refresher faster. That doesn't necessarily mean that it makes YOU faster, it just means that you get a clearer and tighter image to respond to. But again, I used to just "look through that" by lack of choice and played by feel. - Of course, like I said, many are here from the "competitive" angle, but I play a lot more "casual" stuff than online competitive stuff, like city-builders and things like that. And even when you just pan the image across a map, at even 60-75Hz it can become this trailing blur that makes it so you can't exactly make out everything. It can be a little headache-inducing when you move around a lot, and in a way it might even be worse than for games full of action. So moving up to something like 120Hz+ would make for a more coherent image in motion. But then I'm also very much about quality. So where competitive players might want to go like 240Hz+ with 1080p, MAYBE 1440p, I "settle" for 1440p to 1620p at 60-120Hz for the eye-candy. But if I can run thát, I can probably also run the more competitive games at higher framerates, as they tend to be made lighter on a system.
So, that's just another way to view it. And let's be real: If you just play competitive games at home, don't worry about all these number so much and just get it to run smoothly to what FEELS comfortable and just play well and enjoy it. Don't sit there nitpicking over "oh no, it just dropped from 144 to 100 for a sec" or whatever, cause it doesn't really matter, you're only gonna be distracted and bothered over your PC's performance instead of your own.
Better fps does help your aim
Ty
Ive been playing 60fps for the longest, is 120fps that much of a difference, on console especially
I'm a PC Player and it depends what games you play, if fast paced games that require good reaction times, you gonna benefit from it.
The answer is obvious, why would people even question that? Pc gaming has one of the most unbalance games purely because theres people that play on 240 hz with a 3000 dollars PC meanwhile my case i play on integrated graphics and people expect fair 1 v 1s when in fact im playing at a disadvantage, sadly people wont know or wont care if you are at a disadvantage they will take it as granteed that you are just worse when in fact that HZ or Fps made them win that if you were playin gon the same ground, same everything you would win, and thats a case ive always been struggling with and people with good Pcs and srt ups will never acknowledge but people that people on budget set ups and Pcs will feel and understand because its obvious that the disadvantage gap is incredibly big
why even play if you're at such a disadvantage? Upgarde your PC or go play AOE
