Shroud provides a definitive answer on the 60hz\/144hz\/240hz monitor debate Streaming superstar Michael \u2018shroud\u2018 Grzesiek showcased the difference in his first-person-shooting prowess with a 60hz\/144hz\/240hz monitor alongside YouTube tech guru Linus Tech Tips. When it comes to PC gaming, having a top of the line set-up seems like a key component for consistency. Playing something like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, you want every setting to be ideal \u2013 be it the frames per second you\u2019re running, the mouse sensitivity, and even key binds. One of the big things that can help is a different monitor. The majority of professional players regularly shoot for 240hz monitors with super-fast response time, but does it really make a difference or is it all placebo? Well, Shroud hooked up with Linus Tech Tips to run a few different tests to get an answer. Using CS:GO, the title that Shroud made his name in, as well as Overwatch, the YouTuber set up five tests to test the differences such as reaction time, being able to flick, and general high-level aim. Obviously, it helps that Shroud isn\u2019t the run-of-the-mill FPS player, but even he had his performance differ per the monitors. \u201cI don\u2019t think, for this test, 60\/240\/144 is going to make a difference because the only time you feel 60 versus 240 is when you\u2019re moving around and you can feel the tear and everything,\u201d shroud said following the reaction time test. Yet, as things went on, the differences were pointed out to him more and more. The streamer was able to score more kills with the AWP on Dust 2 while using a 240hz set-up compared to 60hz. In fact, he went as far as calling it a \u201cpiece of cake.\u201d He reiterated his earlier point after everything was all said and done, though \u2013 noting the biggest positive 240hz versus 60hz came from looking around. \u201cThat\u2019s where I\u2019d say it helps you the most,\u201d shroud added. \u201cBecause the faster you move, the harder it is to see on 60hz.\u201d He noted that \u201cnothing\u201d would change when looking at a still image and posting up, but when everything is moving around it becomes \u201ca lot harder\u201d to use the 60hz. At the end of the day, however, just having a juiced-up rig isn\u2019t going to instantly transform you into an FPS star like Shroud. It still takes hard work and dedicating yourself to a craft. As the streamer himself notes, the game sense is uber-important and its what makes him stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
