      Ever since games existed? I remember being thrilled at how much smoother Doom played when I added 4MB of RAM to my old 286.

      To your point, I thought 60 FPS didn’t matter, 30 was enough. Then I played on 60 FPS and fealt the difference when I went back. The same thing happened when I got a 144hz screen. Now I can instantly tell between 60 and 144 fps. Now I have a 4090 and 240hz screen and I can tell, but it’s diminishing returns.

      So, yeah. It matters.

          Where does it sound like I’m worried?

          Note: This is how pedantic internet arguments start.

            where you say FPS matters, or maybe the big paragraph you put explaining your reason for FPS mattering? idk something about that made it seem like you cared about the FPS of games

      yeah I barely ever got beyond 30fps in the past 25 years I’ve been playing video games, I can only do it easily today because I got a decent rig
