    My display is 144hz and I’ve played quite a few games at that framerate. When you’re talking about smoothness, what you’re actually talking about is frame time. A consistent FPS at 30 is smooth, if there’s not inconsistent frametime and stutters.

      Well framerate is defined by frametime. Though the average displayed framerate differs if the frametimes are not consistent.

      What I am talking about with “smoothness” here is higher framerate, I am used to 120fps on most games, I normally lock my fps to that. You may not notice it going up, but you notice it a lot when going back down to 60.

      Everyone has different standards and preferences, I’d rather not play any fast shooter at 60fps.
