Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it’s been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

    I understand, and it’s a bug, like the Mac OS is the only piece of software with a bug. Shouldn’t be a reason to despise an OS.

    I still don’t see why you’d change the fps if not for gaming. Maybe I’m too old to notice any difference between 30 and 60 fps when scrolling through a website… IDK.

      Even my 68 year old mother can tell the difference between 30 and 60hz while scrolling Facebook so I think maybe you have some other medical issues or you’re just in denial.

        Or maybe I don’t care. I’ve never used a computer and thought “I need to change the fps”.

        Good question. The only answer I can come up with is gaming. If I was interested in gaming I would probably use a Windows machine. I am not though.

          You really think the only reason is gaming?

          It’s for the same reason we went to 120 FPS on phones. It makes the interface feel significantly smoother and more responsive, especially scrolling. Benefiting games is just a side effect. It gets to the point that 60 FPS systems feel slow to me now.

      FPS is not refresh rate. stop saying fps. Fps is internal generation, which you then sync your refresh rate to, if you are so inclined (THAT is a gaming thing).

        I’m saying fps because that’s what the OP said they changed that caused the issue. But I guess you’re right, he must have meant refresh rate.
