> You've seen games running at 120Hz and at 60Hz. The difference is obvious, isn't it? Honestly, I have not. I'm not much of a gamer, even though I used to be a game developer. Certainly the difference between 30Hz and 60Hz is noticeable. Maybe this is just because I'm old school but if it were me, I would absolutely prioritize low latency over high frame rate. When you played an early console game, the controls felt like they were concretely wired to the character on screen in a way that most games I play today lack. There's a really annoying spongey-ness to how games feel that I attribute largely to latency. I don't really give a shit about fancy graphics and animation (I prefer 2D games). But I want the controls to feel solid and snappy. I also make electronic music and it's the same thing there. Making music on a computer is wonderful and powerful in many ways, but it doesn't have the same immediacy as pushing a button on a hardware synth (well, on most hardware synths).
