Does Higher FPS Improve Reaction Time?
Higher FPS reduces the time between your input and the visual feedback on screen. At 60 FPS the maximum frame delay is 16.7ms. At 144 FPS it drops to 6.9ms. This means you can physically react faster because the game shows you updated information more often. Pro players use 240Hz monitors to minimize this delay to 4.2ms.
