A player demonstrates on YouTube how he plays Valorant on an AMD system. On average, he achieves between 500 and 600 FPS. But what does it really bring?
A gamer shows in his latest video on YouTube how he plays the shooter Valorant. It is a fast, competitive shooter that is reminiscent of CS:GO. The special thing about the video is that he is operating with very high frame rates: On average, he plays with 500 to 600 FPS, depending on the situation he is in.
We have embedded the official YouTube video from cjaiye here for you. Here you can watch the gameplay and also the high numbers.
The higher the FPS numbers, the smoother the game
Why would one even want high FPS numbers? Simply put: The higher the FPS, the smoother the game runs. If you play at very low FPS, it feels like you are playing in slow motion. The game starts to stutter, seems unrefined. PC gamers are also familiar with such stutter from difficult releases and PC ports.
The higher the frame rate, the smoother the gameplay becomes and the more accurately you can move and aim. What may be less exciting for slow simulations or building games is, however, much more important in shooters and fast action games. If you are an experienced player and play with a high frame rate, you definitely have an advantage over others.
You feel the strongest difference between 30 and 60 FPS, and many experienced players also notice the change from 60 to 144 FPS. Beyond these numbers, the changes are hardly noticeable, at least for most players.
What do 600 FPS even bring? First of all, not much, because you also need a monitor that can display these 600 FPS. Currently, modern display units can achieve a maximum of 360 Hz. At CES 2023, ASUS has introduced a monitor, the ROG Swift Pro, which is said to achieve 540 Hz. The problem: Neither the release nor the price of the monitor is known.
Nevertheless, there is regularly the tip to limit the frame rate in the game to a value that is above the refresh rate of the monitor. Because then the image not only looks better, but the input lag is also lower.
