A 60hz monitor refreshes the screen 60 times per second. Therefore, a 60hz monitor is only capable of outputting 60fps. It can still feel smoother to play at a higher framerate than your monitor can display however, because input lag with your mouse will be reduced.

Is 60Hz equal to 60fps?

For example, if your refresh rate is 60Hz, VSync will cap your framerate to 60 FPS. This means that the frames are displayed as soon as they are rendered by the GPU, eliminating screen tearing and reducing stutter for when the frame rate is both higher and lower than the refresh rate of the display.

How much is 60Hz in FPS?

How Much FPS Can a 60 Hz Monitor Display? A 60 Hz monitor has the ability to display any framerate up to 60 with no issues at all. However, if you have a more powerful machine that is running at 240 fps, your 60Hz monitor will still display exactly the same as 60fps, though there will be screen tearing.
