This meme was apparently from 2022, but it’s still true.

    I wouldn’t even care if a game ran at a consistent sub 30 fps. I just refresh the way I feel about what I’m doing. Like when you switch to black and white television, or music written in a different tonal system, or an Adam Sandler movie. Just relax, turn off the analysis, let your ocular systems rewire some stuff, and suddenly you don’t even notice anything weird.

    But when the fps is all over the place I can’t hang anymore.

      I’ve found personally that even with changing refresh rates, variable refresh rate screens eliminate screen tearing and I’m a lot less likely to notice it.
