Could increasing your FPS improve your gaming experience?
His machine is generating more than 60 frames per second, yet the screen displays only 60. This means he’s seeing a lower rate than what his computer is producing.
It depends on the context. 60Hz is a standard frequency used in many devices, but whether it's good or decent varies based on your needs and the equipment you're using.
It seems you're looking for a higher frame rate with your current configuration. Are you playing casual 10v10, community servers, or competitive matches? You'll likely notice a drop in FPS on casual or community servers. On competitive play, you might approach around 200 FPS, but background processes still impact performance. You probably won't see a big difference between those two FPS ranges.
I understand that perspective, but a 60Hz monitor doesn't guarantee 60 fps. Some games, for instance, Audiosurf, let you set your frame rate to match the monitor's refresh rate. This means a FRAPS counter will reflect 60 fps on a 60Hz screen. Certain titles, such as CS:GO, might not limit your frame rate to the monitor's refresh rate, so using an FPS counter could show you exceeding 60 fps. On this note, I haven't played CS:GO on my system (specs available), but your hardware appears to be reliable for the FPS readings you're seeing.
