how does the hz and fps work?
Hello, for a 60Hz monitor you don’t need 75Hz to play Fortnite smoothly. Your current setup with 60fps on Ultra Graphics should work fine. The recommendation for Fortnite is typically around 60-70fps, so 75Hz isn’t strictly necessary unless you want the best performance. If your monitor glitches, it’s more about resolution and refresh rate matching than frame rate alone.
Hz indicates the number of frames displayed each second. A 75Hz display shows 75 frames per second, which equals 75 frames per second. If you're seeing 60fps, it means your monitor's refresh rate is limiting your experience. If you're getting lower than that, your gaming performance won't fully utilize higher frame rates.
Tearing happens when the GPU rapidly fills the framebuffer, sending partial frames to the monitor. The monitor requests a new frame, receiving half of one and then half of another newer frame, resulting in a torn image. This is why VSync restricts FPS output to match the display's native refresh rate, ignoring lower rates.
They aim to eliminate screen tearing by adjusting to the display's refresh rate rather than the frame rate. If tearing were a concern beyond that rate, it wouldn't be necessary.
After deeper analysis it appears we're both right. Tearing happens at any moment when the FPS output isn't aligned with the refresh rate, regardless of whether it's higher or lower. It makes logical sense—when your FPS drops below the refresh rate you receive half of the previous frame followed by half of the current one. Conversely, if your refresh rate is lower than your FPS you get half of the current frame plus the next one.
Consider your needs and budget before deciding. A 75Hz monitor offers a good balance between refresh rate and cost, suitable for most users.
