What is the "ms" under the FPS and what does it mean

[DukeNukem111111]

i need to know, and which is best, a higher number or lower number

[DukeNukem111111]

oh ok thanks

the ms has to do with your monitor response time and your FPS
Lower ms is better
Higher FPS means lower ms

Ping is your connection latency

[DukeNukem111111]

out of curiosity, please tell me your ms and ping

6ms with 150FPS
ping depends on the server you are on and your distance from it along with other such factors.

Mine is usually 20-40+ as im in the US and only play on the US server.

The time displayed in ms is the time it takes your computer to draw a single frame. It has nothing to do with ping or latency.

Yeah, which is tied to your FPS and Monitors/TVs response time.

Not exactly. Frame draw is a CPU issue, FPS is a GPU issue.

You've got this bit backwards, it's the other way around. FPS depends on frame draw time.

When you have High FPS the ms is lower, when you have Low FPS the ms will be higher

My example, i have 6ms because my FPS is maxed

But yes, the CPU is what renders the frames that is given to the GPU.

Point is, theres a difference between Ping and the ms shown.
