Does FPS matter for DPS? I read some posts saying lower FPS gives higher DPS?

[Lycon]

Is this true?

I read that for some weapons it mattered for getting more hits in etc?

And that lower FPS means more responsive controls?


Any of that hold any truth?

Yes, and no.

Technically it is fact. So its truth.

Practically the difference is miniscule, insignificant.

There are other additional factors in play as well, like whether you refer to lower FPS <=> more responsive the usage of framegen or not.

It's all about frame time latency, not really about frame per second. Without frame generator, you'll get less frame per second, but higher frame time latency, meaning your commands responds earlier. However, it's measured in miliseconds, so I would say that only matters if you're competing for miliseconds in the average time.

According to testing that has been done this is not true. It can be a lot of damage and very much significant.

For example the HBG testing in this video shows a loss of 50% of the total damage between 30fps and uncapped. It's going to vary based on your PC and how demanding the area you are fighting is on said PC. To say that the difference is minuscule is misleading and not reflective of reality.
