      It ticks me off when i see twitch streamers with the fps displayed and its running at 300+ fps. What a waste of electricity, money and hardware.

        Eh, more frames means better latency, but up to what point it still makes sense is a whole other story.

          for pro players

          Exactly. Most people aren’t pro players however. I’ve also seen this with games like Baldur’s Gate fwiw.

          Not only that but people seem to do it sometimes just to flex, when turning on VSync is an objectively better experience with less screen tearing. There’s ZERO reason to drive 300fps when your monitor is only capable of 144Hz.

      Not only does this reduce GPU power usage but CPU as well.

      Already set. I’m not that competitive player and my reflexes are worse than a sloth’s. So I didn’t even bother to buy a higher refresh rate monitor than 60.
