1. What is Hz to FPS Conversion?

The Hz to FPS conversion is based on the principle that your monitor's refresh rate (Hz) determines the maximum frames per second (FPS) you can see. In Windows 10, matching your FPS to your refresh rate provides the smoothest visual experience.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple 1:1 relationship:

Where:

• \( FPS \) — Frames Per Second
• \( Hz \) — Refresh Rate in Hertz

Explanation: A 60Hz monitor can display up to 60FPS, a 144Hz monitor up to 144FPS, etc. This is the maximum frames your display can show per second.

3. Importance of Refresh Rate and FPS

Details: Matching your game's FPS to your monitor's refresh rate reduces screen tearing and provides smoother gameplay. In Windows 10, you can adjust these settings in Display Settings and GPU control panels.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your monitor's refresh rate in Hz (common values are 60, 75, 120, 144, 165, 240). The calculator will show the equivalent maximum FPS your monitor can display.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is FPS always equal to Hz?
A: No, this shows the maximum FPS your monitor can display. Your GPU may render higher FPS, but you'll only see up to your refresh rate.

Q2: How do I check my refresh rate in Windows 10?
A: Right-click desktop > Display Settings > Advanced Display Settings > Display Adapter Properties > Monitor tab.

Q3: Should I cap my FPS to my refresh rate?
A: For competitive gaming, many prefer uncapped FPS. For casual use, capping at refresh rate reduces GPU load and heat.

Q4: What about variable refresh rate (VRR) technologies?
A: G-Sync and FreeSync allow your refresh rate to dynamically match your FPS for smoother performance.

Q5: Why does my 144Hz monitor feel smoother than 60Hz?
A: Higher refresh rates reduce motion blur and input lag, making movements appear more fluid and responsive.
