What is the difference between hertz and fps
A lot of people get mixed up with the difference between hertz and fps(Frames Per Second). Hertz is the amount of fps your monitor can do, while fps is the number of frames your pc can do. In this article I am going to go in depth in explaining the difference between hertz and fps.

What’s fps?

Let’s start off by figuring out what frames per second (fps) is. It is the number of frames you get per second, with the average fps(frames per second) being around 60–120. To clarify, frames are the image of your display each second. They are important because in order to see what your computer/monitor displays, the frames makes this happen by allowing your computer to display a certain amount of images per second. Now how do you get higher fps(frames per second)? To get higher frames you need a better GPU(graphics processing unit) or most commonly known as a graphics card; the graphics card is the component in your computer that makes your screen look better and fps higher.

What’s hertz?

Hertz is used for measuring the number of times that your display will update new information(refresh rate). Whilst the human eye can only see 24 fps, there is a noticeable difference in smoothness. For instance, it adds extra images to the objects in detail such as clothes moving when the person walks or does any actions. The background is also a noticeable difference by its smoothness and being more clear, with examples such as how the trees move and how the clouds slightly move while characters interact in games; therefore, making the background more realistic or natural.

How to get higher fps

To get higher fps you either need to lower your games settings or purchase a better GPU(graphics processing unit). For example a Rx 580, which is the best value GPU you can purchase, if you’re on a laptop, I would suggest buying and external GPU witch you can plug into your laptop but these come a little pricey going around $500 Aud.

Is it really worth it

Is it really worth it to buy a GPU/external GPU? Well if you are just trying to run some low fps games like Minecraft/Roblox ect I would suggest not to buy a better GPU or external GPU because there won’t be that much of a noticeable difference. If you are planning on playing higher fps games like Call Of Duty 4, GTA 5 ect, I would suggest purchasing a GPU/external GPU for your pc because there will be a really noticeable difference if you do.
