Don't be foolish.
a higher refresh rate also prevents screen tearing, screen tearing is when your monitor is slower than your card is drawing, so if you have a nice video card and have vsync off and a 30-60 hz monitor you will get screen tearing all the time when you turn.
and also its noticable on mouse movements too, once you move to a 144hz monitor its night and day, i have my old 144hz monitor running at 60 on the hdmi and its abysmal..
run some test here if you want too its a great site
so just check it out on youtube and you'll learn, this isnt a moon conspiracy and they are just buzzwords, they are higher refresh rates for a reason.

Look it up. You can google the question. It is a medical certainty. Birds see at a much higher frame rate, so perhaps the index is designed to future-proof technology for parrots.
As for myself, I can't accurately predict frame rates over 30fps. I can't tell the difference between 30fps, 60fps, or 90fps.
Anybody who can tell you that there is a noticeable diference between 60fps and 120fps is a medical marvel (or they're lying).
As a side note, me and gaming friends cannot stand flickering fluorescent lights, the 50 Hz (Europe) strobing is very noticeable to us, but for older family members and non-gaming friends, they don't detect it. I'm pretty sure the brain can adapt to how it interprets what we see, getting better at detecting strobing and various Hz. This is just my hypothesis from observation though.
After googling, it appears we have CFF around 60 Hz, meaning critical flicker fusion, where flickering vanishes. But at the same time it is mentioned that we can actually detect 500 Hz flicker as well, so it's not that our detection capabilities go away after 60 Hz, it's just what is needed for fusion. That is my read of it anyway.
So yeah, for me I wanted higher Hz because I actually benefit from it, as a medical marvel. But for you who cannot sense higher than 30 Hz, you are free to pick any headset I guess. Or benefit from being able to run on the lowest Hz setting to save on performance.
you are a troll or very unfortunate
the rest of the population whether you like it or not is superior, at being able to utilize 120hz+ refresh rates.
good day, there is no changing your mind, i hope your feelings arent hurt, but you cannot speak with conviction on this topic. you are deficient in the matter.
here linus actually sighs at you idea
the bottom line is, if your video card is outputting 300 frames per second, a higher refresh rate will provide you with the most recent frame available.
edit
and if you're going to pull a gotem claiming you were referencing frame rate specifically and not refresh rate, then good on you, but we all corrected your claim to refresh rate as talking about higher frames per second was a benefit of the index when it clearly is the refresh rate.
as you can obviously run the index at 144hz and only be able to render 10 frames per second
My system: 2 x rtx2080ti SLI. I can't remember the last time my frame rates dropped into a perceptible range.
I've been a gamer for 30 years and I have never been able to detect higher than 35 -40 fps.
I did a test last night to see if I was unique. 10 friends. VR party. Sturmovik. We all flew at a capped 30 fps, 60fps, 90fps.
Of the 10, 5 couldn't tell any difference at all. Nobody could see a difference between 60fps and 90fps. At 60fps, 2 of the 10 saw a difference, 3 were unsure.
So yes, you may be right. Perhaps I am unique and higher frame rates are detectable (just) to some people. But how important is it if you had to REALLY concentrate to perceive the difference?
Do bear in mind that we are looking at VR here. Not monitors.
Test it out. Find out what frame rate you can detect. There's no reason to push your hardware any higher if you (like most) can't see the difference (or if you have to really concentrate to be able to detect that tiny flicker at 40fps).
they arent, they are pushing 90hz and 120hz and 144hz refresh rates. and is very misleading as the devices themselves do not render, or generate any frames period.
if you want to argue fps doesnt matter then by all means, maybe in a new topic? we were trying to enlighten you on refresh rates which is completely different from frame rates. i think we all assumed you meant refresh rates.
so yeah with a gtx 1070 at 144hz you likely will not have any screen tearing, ghosting, so on so forth higher refresh rates provide and have all of the benefits of smooth frame rates around 60 fps
edited to say SLI is dead, i assume you mean nvlink and its for quadro related purposes
and for that, maybe should of gotten a titan card? ugh. why 2 2080 ti's? do they actually run in profiles for alternating frame rendering for 4k content?
As a side note, did you turn off any type of reprojection during your VR party? SteamVR and the Oculus runtime both have their own versions which will, even if you render very few frames, re-distort them to keep the frame-rate constant in the headset itself.
I've had as low as 4 fps and the headset was still reprojecting, that was pretty nuts though, hurray for doing beta testing 🤣
Having done it on a monitor might have made more sense in this case, unless you actually did disable all types of reprojection.
If you feel like it, check out this[www.testufo.com] quick motion test displaying 60, 30 and 15 fps next to each other. It should work on most desktop monitors as 60 Hz is pretty much the baseline among screens. Still no difference between 30 and 60?
Can someone explain to me (without being a prick - I skip those posts) what the difference between " the number of times the vr set resets the image " and fps "the number of times the vr set changes the image"
I have assumed that The Index 144hz refresh means that it is capable of 144fps. That is what happens with monitors, after all. Am I wrong? Or are these people quibbling over syntax?
The Index headset can run at 80, 90, 120 and 144 Hz, it's possible to pick whatever suits you or your system. Then as I mentioned, regardless of what fps the game renders at, the runtime will reproject it to the Hz of the headset, unless the system is really bogged down. This to keep it comfortable for the user.
Honestly haven't read all replies to this thread, but I hope this was it 😅
