Warning!! 80fps on a gtx1050ti are NOT the same as 80fps on gtx1060!!

To all gamers out there,I tested all of my first person shooters. The conclusion is that the fps that we see in the top left corner of our screen is some kind of average.

Even in games that my gtx1050ti had a steady "consistent" 80fps, the animation was A LOT worse than my new gtx1060(at 80fps). On gtx1050ti it says 80fps but it feels like 50fps. The only exception were (older) games that my gtx1050ti could play with over 100fps+. Those were fine.

So the fps that games show is probably some kind of average. For example, if gtx 1050ti shows 80fps , half of the frames are "fast" and half of them are really slow and the average is 80fps.While with gtx1060 all 80frames are fast/proper.

Before these cards I had a gtx780 which had identical performance with the gtx1060.(unfortunately it stopped working, but at least now I can have a better picture about cards and their performance...and I can help others too)

Yes, videos on you tube are right showing gtx1050ti having 80-90fps in some games, yes the number on the top left is "consistent"(it doesnt drop) but it feels like you are playing with 50fps, not 80fps.

    I tested it further and even on a gtx1060, 80fps are not the same in a  game heavy on graphics vs a game light on graphics.

    So even if the gtx1060 is capped at 80fps and the frame rate doesnt drop either, still ,a light game will look perfectly smooth at 80fps while a heavy on graphics game will look a lot worse(it will look like you are playing at 60fps).

    All engines are different and run differently. Then you have latency which also effects the gameplay and animation quality. Most online games have input latency, even if it's only a couple of frames it will effect the responsiveness and feel of the game. THere's also a lot of post processing effects in the video menu, such ambient occlusion and anti aliasing. These also add input latency to the game. My recommendation is to turn everything to low for online play.

    I have exactly the same fps as you. I just capped it at 80fps because I have a 75hz monitor.

    I know there are different kinds of monitors but on my monitor capping the game at 74fps has the best results. It has to do with syncing.

    Other games have it too. Capping at 74fps is the best and the next smoothest animation is at 120fps. All the inbetween animations are A LOT worse.

    From 75-80fps it looks like tearing(it doesnt look that bad) and above that it doesnt look like tearing, it looks choppy, even if you play at 100fps+. (in many games not just this one)

    Of course if I turn vsync on, all games look perfect but there is input lag.
