1. What is Frame Rate Calculation?

The frame rate calculation determines how many frames per second (FPS) a game can achieve based on the monitor's refresh rate and system latency. This is particularly important for optimizing gaming performance with Mikrotron equipment.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the frame rate formula:

Where:

• \( FPS \) — Frames per second
• \( Game\ Refresh \) — Monitor refresh rate in Hertz (Hz)
• \( Latency \) — System latency in seconds (s)

Explanation: The formula shows the direct relationship between refresh rate and latency, where higher refresh rates and lower latency result in higher frame rates.

3. Importance of FPS in Gaming

Details: Higher FPS provides smoother gameplay and competitive advantages. Understanding the relationship between refresh rate and latency helps in optimizing gaming setups.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the game refresh rate in Hz and system latency in seconds. Both values must be positive numbers for accurate calculation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a good FPS for gaming?
A: Competitive gamers typically aim for at least 144 FPS, while 60 FPS is considered the minimum for smooth gameplay.

Q2: How does latency affect FPS?
A: Higher latency decreases the achievable FPS, as the system takes longer to process each frame.

Q3: What's the difference between refresh rate and FPS?
A: Refresh rate is the maximum number of times your monitor can update per second, while FPS is how many frames your system can produce per second.

Q4: Can FPS be higher than refresh rate?
A: Yes, but your monitor can only display up to its refresh rate. Any additional frames may cause screen tearing.

Q5: How can I reduce latency?
A: Use faster hardware, optimize game settings, close background applications, and use wired connections instead of wireless.
