165 hz vs 180 hz

Hi

Is there a big difference in 165 hz to 180 hz monitors? Will i notice a difference in fps?

You probably wouldn't be able to notice. Higher refresh rates have diminishing returns. Between 165hz and 180hz, it is only about a half millisecond difference of latency.

180 is a multiple of 60 so there is that advantage.

who cares? who plays 60hz anyway... thats unwatchable;)

If you play any games that are ports/emulations of console games it allows for smooth framepacing.

vsync only will display the last complete frame

freesync/gsync can lower refresh rate of the display

100fps on 165hz with gsync/freesync on will lower refresh rate to 100hz
with just vsync on, every 1.65 refreshes will be a new frame
33 refreshes ~20 new frames displayed
1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,7,7,8,8,9,10,10,11

100fps on 180hz, 9 refreshes for 5 displayed frames
1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10

diminishing returns, no reason to be going over 144hz. 144 to 240 is debatable but still an insignificant difference

without vsync the same will happen.
just more irrregulair.

if your gpu renders grames with great variation say between 1 and 100ms.
that 100fps means the average render time is 10ms.. but it can caries grearly frame by frame.

so withour sync you could get
1,2.3,4,4.4.4.4.5,6,6,7,8,9,9,9,9 etc

which is changed with turning gsync on. into
1,1,2.2.3.3,4,4,5.5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,

which is same number of frames just smoother.
so no it will not alter the refreshratem it will just spread frames out better.

with vsync off, you will get a tear line nearly every frame
just changing locations
