FPS is a very important parameter for users with gaming preferences, but not everyone understands what it means. If you also regularly entertain with games, refer to the article written by Hightechbrain to get the best gaming experience.
What is FPS?
FPS stands for frames-per-second, ie the number of frames per second. Basically, FPS measures the number of images that the GPU (graphics processor) can render (render) and displays on your screen every second.
For example, if a game is running at FPS speed of 1, you will only see 1 image per second. This situation is more like a slideshow than a real-time experience and a game will not be able to play at such FPS speeds.
The more frames are rendered and displayed every second, the gaming experience will be smoother.
FPS score
The human eye is an advanced organ, but it is difficult to tell the difference between several frames. In addition to the standards imposed by hardware, FPS is often divided into levels:
- 30 FPS: The speed at which a handheld game console and a low-end PC are headed. However, frame snatching only becomes serious at FPS below 20, so FPS from 20 or more is considered playable.
- 60 FPS: This is the goal of most gaming PCs. On the console, only less demanding games or better optimization can manage a steady 60 FPS speed.
- 120 FPS: Speed only appears on monitors with refresh rate of 144 - 165 Hz. That's what only high-end gaming PCs can achieve, and the console doesn't.
- 240 FPS: Highest frame rate, only achieved with the most advanced 240 Hz screen, the most powerful hardware.
Remember that the higher the frame rate, the harder it is for the human eye to distinguish the difference. For example, anyone can see 60 FPS smoother than 30 FPS. But the difference between 120 FPS and 240 FPS is very difficult to realize in real time even when comparing side by side.
What is the best FPS speed?
This is an important question, always debated in the gaming world.
Certainly, there are many reasonable answers, but if viewed objectively, there will be no best, unique and ideal frames for everyone and every type of game. Putting aside your hobby, imagine the appropriate FPS speed as follows:
- 30 FPS: Good for single players and cinema experience.
- 60 FPS: Consistent with the multiplayer mode of combat because this speed can improve reaction time (especially important for games that react to animation is the key to winning the win).
- 120 FPS: Only for more competitive gamers, usually professional players.
- 240 FPS: Also for professional gamers who are willing to invest huge amounts of money in hardware, but the improvement compared to 120 FPS is quite small.
Conclusion
Closing the problem, the frame rate you should choose is based on personal preference and game type. 30 FPS can be an interesting cinematic experience for single players. While if playing with multiple people, 60 FPS offers an indispensable advantage.
Finally, unless you are a fastidious gamer or a professional competitor. Otherwise, investing in the screen with a refresh rate of more than 100 Hz and the hardware that can render more than 100 frames per second is not really necessary.
