Monitor Tweaks for Competitive Gamers
SK A PRO PLAYER about what’s really important in a competitive gaming setup, and they’ll all tell you the same thing: The truth hertz. As nice as it is to have RGB everything whirling away under your hands, and an RTX 2080 Ti churning out frames like tissue paper going through an industrial mulcher, it’s refresh rate that often provides the biggest performance benefit of all. Improved reaction times, easier player movement prediction, and an overall sensation of smoothness with the mouse are all marginal gains that add up to something substantial at the top level. And because we all fancy ourselves as an undiscovered S1mple, we go out and buy the kind of componentry that the pros use, lost in the fantasy that every failure and subsequent tea-bagging in our online careers was simply the result of inferior hardware.
