Refresh Rate Guide
Understand how refresh rate relates to frame time, FPS targets, and esports performance.
Frame time budget
6.944 ms
This is how long each frame may take to render to sync perfectly with your display.
Recommended FPS cap
130 FPS
Capping slightly below refresh rate avoids tearing without oversaturating your GPU. If you use adaptive sync, cap two or three FPS below the maximum range.

Tips
- Match OS and GPU control panel refresh settings to your monitor’s native rate.
- Use VRR (G-Sync / FreeSync) when your FPS fluctuates beneath the refresh rate.
- Pair high refresh rates with low-latency modes and frame generation cautiously—ensure frametime stays under budget.
- Consider backlight strobing (ULMB/ELMB) for reduced blur, but note the brightness trade-off.
