Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?

@VinesNFluff Most people can't honestly perceive any change in their visual field in less than 1/60th of a second except perhaps at the very periphery (for some reason rods are faster than cones and there are more rods in your peripheral vision) and even then not in much detail. So honestly, frame rates above 60 fps don't really buy you anything except bragging rights.

This is such bullshit, 60 and 90 fps even is such a noticable difference. Maybe 144 and 165 is hard to distinct though…

  @FlembleFabber Do you have LED lights in your house? Can you see 60Hz flicker?

    led lights almost always run off rectified, smoothed supplies, so no flicker. i have one cheap old crappy bulb that doesn’t, and i can definitely perceive the flicker. it’s almost nauseating.

    @binom If you film with a camera with a ntsc vertical reference rate of 59.95 hz you will see a beat note between the lights and the led lighting indicating it is not well filtered if at all. Many cheap led lights just have a capacitive current limiter and that's it. If you power them off of 50Hz you will see the flicker, if you get dimmable LED lights they will NOT have a filter. But I don't want to interfere with anyone's bragging rights.

I wouldn’t know. Could never afford a posh high-refresh-rate monitor, and it’s very low on my priority list, so even if/when I do get a windfall of money, it probably won’t be what I buy next.
