Can fps be higher than hz?

Does an FPS higher than a refresh rate matter? If you have an FPS that's higher than your refresh rate, your monitor won't be able to display the frames properly. It can actually cause issues like screen tearing. Thus, having a higher FPS than refresh rate matters–-but not necesarily because it's a good thing.

Does higher hz make you better?
Generally speaking, the higher a monitor's refresh rate, the more FPS your CPU and GPU will need to supply, and the more benefit you'll receive from higher performance options. With that in mind, games vary in how much load they put on the CPU and GPU.

Does fps equal hz?
FPS and Hertz are 'equal' measurements, even though they measure different things (e.g., a GPU that can run 60 FPS will work with a 60 Hz monitor). Upgrading both FPS and refresh rate together will improve your graphics.

Is it better to have higher hz better for gaming?
Playing games at a higher refresh rate can have a substantial impact on your gaming experience. This is especially relevant with fast-paced, competitive games where every frame counts. However, simply buying a 144Hz or 240Hz display is not enough to see the benefits.
