Reflex just shaves off the extra overhead you'd get from having the gpu run at its limit. It won't make a low framerate have the same latency as a drastically higher one
you might not see a difference between 100fps and 300fps for example, but the feel is certainly there, because those frames are still being rendered and is more information. it can be the difference between landing a headshot and missing for pro players, even if the refresh rate is lower, so its not wasted at all.
Exactly. Most people aren’t pro players however. I’ve also seen this with games like Baldur’s Gate fwiw.
Not only that but people seem to do it sometimes just to flex, when turning on VSync is an objectively better experience with less screen tearing. There’s ZERO reason to drive 300fps when your monitor is only capable of 144Hz.
Already set. I'm not that competitive player and my reflexes are worse than a sloth's. So I didn't even bother to buy a higher refresh rate monitor than 60.
