Lets say my lowest is 180fps and highest 237fps on a 240hz monitor
57fps between low and high and changing frametimes are they that bad for consistent aim? Or is it more of a myth and those tiny frametime differences are negligible?
Thx boys.
How bad are inconsistent frametimes?
Re: How bad are inconsistent frametimes?
I would limit to a framerate, that you can reach 95% of the time. And yes your muscle memory suffer from different frametimes. If you limit the FPS you get a low input lag and on top of that you save energy.

Re: How bad are inconsistent frametimes?
Depends on how you play, but yup.
Higher-but-consistent lag is sometimes superior to low-but-varying lag.
To an extent.
Capping can either increase or lower lag, but it’s a lag-consistency-improver as well as less lag than a worse lag (e.g. VSYNC ON treatments of framerates maxing Hz on a VRR display, if VRR is turned on), in which case, capping lowers lag. Capping re-times those frametimes to a glassfloor, to make lagfeel consistent. It can be easier to aim at exact 5ms lag than random-varying 1ms-to-10ms lag.

Re: How bad are inconsistent frametimes?
Ok crystal clear! Thanks chief
Will set my benq to 182hz and cap the fps on that number too. I'm a bit disappointed that in some games the stress on the CPU is so high that a steady 240fps with an super high end rig is not enough.

Re: How bad are inconsistent frametimes?
Which game? Any esports title can easily hit 182 on a decent gpu
Re: How bad are inconsistent frametimes?
Non esport game... bf1 main game
Re: How bad are inconsistent frametimes?
go for 91 fps then?
nvm, if you're going strobed, do not use anything except Hz=Fps. Hmm For BF1 either you tweak the settings or You're gonna have to put up with a stuttery game? You're really in a horrible situation. You could upscale, that would look bad though.
I don't know if any GPU can evem hit 182 on high at FHD. Sorry I'm at loss here.
