1. What is Hz to FPS Conversion?

The Hz to FPS conversion helps gamers understand the potential frame rates their system can achieve based on monitor refresh rate and performance multipliers. It's particularly useful for optimizing gaming setups.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( Hz \) — Monitor refresh rate in Hertz
• \( Multiplier \) — Performance factor (typically 1x-3x)

Note: When VSync is enabled, FPS is capped at the monitor's refresh rate regardless of the multiplier.

3. Importance of FPS Calculation

Details: Understanding the relationship between refresh rate and FPS helps in configuring optimal gaming settings, reducing screen tearing, and maximizing system performance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your monitor's refresh rate (typically 60Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz, or 240Hz), set the multiplier based on your system's capability (1x for baseline), and select VSync status.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between Hz and FPS?
A: Hz is your monitor's refresh rate (how many times it updates per second), while FPS is how many frames your GPU can render per second.

Q2: Should I use VSync?
A: VSync eliminates screen tearing but can introduce input lag. It's best for slower-paced games where perfect frame pacing is important.

Q3: What's a good multiplier value?
A: 1x means your system can match your monitor's refresh rate. 2x means it can render twice as many frames (useful for reducing input lag).

Q4: Does higher FPS than Hz matter?
A: Yes, even if your monitor can't display all frames, higher FPS can reduce input lag and make motion appear smoother.

Q5: How do I find my monitor's refresh rate?
A: Check display settings in your operating system or monitor's specifications (often listed as Hz in the model name).
