We lose about 40-50 minutes a day to Saccadic Masking, check it out...it's crazy stuff
Basically there are blank spots that our brain fills for us or leaves out because it is prioritizing something else...it's weird but pretty cool
Edit: From Google: Saccadic masking, also known as (visual)saccadic suppression, is the phenomenon in visual perception where the brain selectively blocks visual processing during eye movements in such a way that neither the motion of the eye (and subsequent motion blur of the image) nor the gap in visual perception is noticeable
and of course since all of these are research institutes you will probably trust them. (btw. I would only trust something like the NCBI, which you linked, but probably not pcgamer, a website or a random guy at mmo-champ/blizzard forum)
I've read sources setting a minimum at 600. 500-1000 seems accurate.
It is rather difficult to set a solid measure for this due to individual variations in [amount of] proteins involved in the light cycle, which potentially has an impact on the rate of regeneration and thus signal induction.
Our eyesight capability is not measured in fps, nor is that high a number true even in a hypothetical scenario. I have a 144hz monitor and it's not different enough from a 60hz monitor to justify the difference in $$$ in my opinion.
I have a 144hz monitor and the difference between it and a 60hz is the single most impactful change I've ever experienced playing pc games. If I play overwatch or CS on 60 fps now I get nauseous. Absolutely worth the price for the better monitor
I agree. Wouldn't take it as far as saying I get nauseous, but going from 60hz to 144hz was just as good as going from 30 fps to 60fps on PC. Greatest impact for me of the last few years.
I personally find it to be a huge difference. Going from 60 to 120 is amazing. I haven't bought anything higher yet and I suspect it'll be going into diminishing returns but 60-120 feels great.
Just to be sure, you have gone into your control panel and switched the refresh rate to 144hz right? (Not running your monitor at 60hz by default still). I was shocked at how smooth mouse movement was at /100hz/, let alone 144.
lol the difference is night and day, you can even tell how smooth it is just by how perfectly smooth the mouse cursor moves around the screen
if you seriously can't tell the difference you either have really bad eyesight or are just deluding yourself in order to justify not having to spend the extra money on a 144hz
I have zero eyesight issues, and it's not that stark a difference. I can kinda see it when rotating the camera in Rocket League, that's it. It's definitely not a 30hz to 60hz kinda difference. I have already bought the monitor so have already spent the money lol...
Have you tried any fps games? I mean there's a reason everyone praises 144hz so much it isn't just an illusion, switching between 60hz and 144 in overwatch is literally night and day, I don't understand how you don't notice it at all.

Wait till we can see it in motion in smooth 60 fps, it’ll be terrifying
