 Does high refresh rate make you a better gamer with the new consoles having high refresh rate support just like PCs? Does it even matter or make you a better gamer have a first rate basically makes your screen refresh more a second? So 144 Hertz would be more responsive as well as more smooth It's really hard to say it in words But you have to see in person to get the full experience the higher refresh rate the lower latency you get as well Since the screen is refreshing more your enemy will pop out faster and it's more precise when they're moving How much of a difference does latency make? Well, not as much as you would expect input lag is important Sure, but your internet and settings make a bigger impact than your monitors refresh rate for latency Also, if your hardware is putting out more FPS in your monitor, although it wouldn't show more smoothness It will still make you have lower latency What's more important, however, is the smoothness when you flick or turn around super fast is where it's most noticeable When you make big movements on 60 Hertz, it's more choppy and less precise in those quick scenarios If you have good aim, you will still hit the shot in 60 Hertz But it just makes it a little bit more precise so that you can adjust your shot quicker Line is tested, however, first rates impact gameplay and yes, it does have some impact But in both scenarios, your enemy is not going to peek and fall back in less than a second However, first rates help with those fast scenarios Now, this is in my opinion the biggest part of why high refresh rate is used among pros That is a good gaming experience Let me explain so many players never go back because once you experience it It's like how was I even playing in 60 Hertz all this time It's just the fact that it's so enjoyable that makes it feel like you have an advantage Even though it's small, the smoothness and the experience makes you feel more confident to hit your shots I didn't improve at all much when I switched to a high refresh rate And Stroud even said that as well But it's still a necessary change if you want to play at the highest level The impact lag are those significant is barely noticeable Switching from 144 to 240 Hertz, however, it's a smaller jump than going from 60 to 144 I would still think that 144 Hertz is a sweet spot But again, it depends on the player You can see the ministering returns past 240 And after that, they can cost upwards of $500 Which in my opinion, I don't think it's worth it But you know, some pros would take any advantage they have, you know So in conclusion, if you can't afford it, I would If you can't, it won't improve your skill by that much But it will emphasize it If you're bad, you're still gonna be bad If you're good, it would just make you a little bit better And it's kind of like an extension of your skill Again, it's more about the experience Thanks for watching
