ZTT Extras finds a personal limit to the FPS chase
Zach's only new upload makes the case for smoother competitive gaming, with diminishing returns beyond his own comfort zone.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Is More FPS Good Past 100 FPS?
ZTT Extras has a clear answer for anyone wondering whether gaming gets noticeably smoother beyond 100 FPS: Zach says it does. The more interesting part is where he stops caring.
In "Is More FPS Good Past 100 FPS?", he points to tracking opponents and peeking corners in competitive games such as Counter-Strike 2, Fortnite and PUBG. Moving from 100 to 200 FPS feels substantially better to him, but the enthusiasm has a ceiling. "After 240, for me, that's when it becomes questionable." He has tested 540 Hz monitors, yet says the games that can make use of them aren't the ones he plays.
The Short, the secondary Zach's Tech Turf channel's only upload this week, reached about 20,000 views in its opening 11 hours. Viewers bring their own upgrade histories to the discussion: some describe a clear difference after changing monitors, others nominate a comfortable middle ground, and one raises consistent frame times as more important than chasing the highest possible rate. There's also the familiar gaming joke that a smoother picture doesn't necessarily prevent a defeat.
Across the channel, the week brought roughly 2.4 million views and a modest subscriber gain, even though daily viewing is currently below its usual level. That makes it one of the busier weeks among its nearby tech-channel peers, with cmcteq also drawing a substantial weekly audience.
The new FPS discussion is its busiest upload right now. Behind it, "Nobody Can Beat Zach in a Typing Test" and "How Important is RAM CL Rating?" keep the channel's older conversations moving, from keyboard speed to the finer print on memory specifications.

What viewers say
Went from 165hz to 240hz and now I can see my deaths a lot smoother. Incredible upgrade
@Juubi_JinchuurikiSee it on YouTubeA stable frametime it's way more important than reaching for the max frame rate possible
@Onyx20XXSee it on YouTubethe problem im having with higher FPS is that its very difficult to play "low" fps after, so if i play a game at 144 stable and the next game is 60-90 it feels awful and sluggish, you do get used to it again after a while but it kinda ruins the start of a game for me. anyone else have this?

144hz is possible the best for a budget to mid tier build and for good overall fos
@tigerclaw234See it on YouTubei thought going past my old 165hz monitor was pointless but i got a 320hz monitor and i definitely noticed it
@FluskarSee it on YouTube160 for me its the sweet spot from there on i cant rreally tell too much of a difference
@XhuriHunterSee it on YouTubeWent from 144hz to 240hz about 2 years ago and it blew my mind
@averagebaenjoyer8534See it on YouTubeYeah it definitely depends on what you play fast twitchy shooters 240 is nice I SIM race so above 120 is the sweet spot for me tho I have 3 x 2k 165hz and it is a system drain
