A few months ago I made the case that a 360 Hz refresh rate on your monitor is the sweet spot for competitive FPS<\/a> before diminishing returns kick in. I had nothing but my own testing and a big bottle of ‘trust me bro’ back then, but I’ve now spoken to a couple of Counter-Strike 2 pros and I remain convinced I was right.<\/p>\n

At Logitech’s G Play event<\/a> (featuring a Counter-Strike 2 tournament) in Warsaw earlier today, I spoke to Oscar Bell, AKA ‘Azuwu’, and Simon Boije, AKA ‘yxngstxr’. Both currently play for Luminosity<\/a>, a team that particularly tugs at my CS2 heart strings given it was very big circa 2016 when I was still lapping up the tailwinds of CS:GO novelty.<\/p>\n

Regarding refresh rates, Azuwu tells me: “When I had 240 at home, I didn’t even really notice 360. But now I’m 360 I can’t go back down, you know, I feel it a lot. So I think 360, 400, 600 are all pretty similar… I’d say 400 is a nice spot and 600 is extra nice. But anyway, in a lot of PCs, you won’t hit 600 frames.”<\/p>\n
