hey guys this is Austin the Internet is obsessed with frame rates but do they actually matter any video this one included is nothing more than a series of still frames that are playback quickly so for this video you should pick these 60 frames per second option that way you can get the full effect of what I'm talking about so this is 15 frames per second as you can see it looks a little choppy a little weird I mean yeah you can see that this is video but it almost looks like some kind of like dream sequence now we're 24 frames per second now this has passed the point where your brain is looking at the individual stills and perceiving them as motion so 24 frames is much more common in things like TV shows and specialty movies and now we're moving on to 30 frames per second now this is probably the most common for web content it's pretty much what all of my videos are in and here you'll see the motion is nice and smooth that looks pretty natural now we're at 60 frames per second here you can see the motion is much more smooth almost at the point where it's a little bit distracting now while 60 FPS video is not that common you will see it a lot in things like game play things become even more noticeable the more motion there is that's why while 30 frames works for most things switching to 60 can work better for fast paced action like sports another big area where framerate is important is for gaming now I do lower frame rates look distracting they can have a real effect on gameplay it's one thing to watch a movie or TV show another when you're controlling something on screen low frame rates not only look choppy but add a sense of lag to your gameplay most displays top out at 60 frames however something like this a sous monitor can handle up to 144 frames per second when you hook it up to a gaming PC with a one millisecond response time in theory this should almost completely eliminate any sense of lag or choppiness but how much of a difference does it actually make to find out I invite a few of my friends to sit down and play a game at a few different frame rates to see if they could actually tell the difference why oh Jesus 10-minute PS is Bolton if I'm flying I wouldn't know it cuz it feels like I'm just bumping along yeah it's super seals not even laggy but just feel slow does this a sick joke this sucks awesome why do you make me play this smooth is gonna be the keyword in this video can we get a smooth counter going it's like really jumpy it's not smooth like it's playable in the sense that I can do things but first off this is just burning my eyes I don't wanna play anymore not a fan of ten frames hey this is there uh that's so much better oh my gosh this is world's different this is so much smoother whoa this still sucks like it depends on the game you're playing too I think I think some games dude plus 30 it's ok but you can definitely notice in this one that it's not as smooth as it could be yeah you know what watching that thing move out there looks a lot more natural it's just it's just a lot smoother this still looks like n64 right here like it's usable but that's about the most you can say it's not good all right 60 frames ok can fit stretch and move it's a lot smoother when I move feels like need for speed ah that's better a lot smoother than 30 was like mean I mean the jump to 10 to 30 was more noticeable because 10 is that painful you can definitely tell looking at 30 versus 60 it's really responsive and really fast but I kind of want to puke 60 is really good it doesn't make me feel queasy or anything that's a common complaint with people who don't play yeah I mean this is just the standard right now for a reason I never played I won a 40 for us this is gonna be interesting oh my god oh my god this is great so smooth look at all the crumbling so smooth everything is coated in butter even though I'm flying so that does make any sense there's no friction the murders of the chickens I like 144 it's great I can tell that it's faster but it still feels about the same as what 60 was like I feel like difference between 30 and 60 was you know not as noticeable as 10 to 30 and then same for this like it's it's smoother but I don't think it's as drastic of a change at least to my eyes I'm happy with 144 awesome glad that you have me participate in your video cuz I'm really enjoying it thank you everybody for watching subscribe to Austin Evans and I'll see you guys later and if you're doing some sort of reaction game like a drought like a need for speed or like a shooter or something then you might be tempted to spend the extra and see things in what seems like hyperspeed so what do you guys think is a sweet spot for frame rates let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
