Dear People I have 200FPS on Minecraft but I always set it to 60FPS because I always think the higher the FPS number the weaker the graphics card gets. Should I just set all games to the highest FPS number?
You save electricity
Of course, the card does not get weaker
Thank you so much.
More FPS than the monitor frequency helps nothing and lets the graphics card only more energy from the socket pull. But she will not be "weaker".
Unnecessarily high FPS just cost more electricity. It does not change the look, this down. And even if you could not see it.
But to continue the thought: you can then use the power gained for even better looks. Shader, better texture packages etc.
The higher the frame rate, the higher the computational effort and the amount of data to be moved…
Suppose you have to calculate a shadow… Then do you either 60x per second (for each image namely) or 200x…
No, the FPS limitation is just to save power and take load off the system.
