Wouldn’t the latter give you lower input lag and better gameplay even though the frame rate is lower?

    60fps is always going to feel smoother than 45fps. In 66ms you’re getting around 4 frames while using 60fps but only 3 frames with 45 fps. This is good for games with a lot of motion, such as racing games.

    However the input lag depends on the sync between the game and the monitor. The higher the monitor frequency, the sooner it “asks “ for a new frame. Having a higher frequency means it waits less time before asking for a new frame .

    The max input lag is dictated by the monitor frequency. For example, a game that runs at 45fps (and has a frame time of 1s/45= 22ms) has a maximum input lag (the delay between the frame being ready and being displayed in the screen) of 11ms because the screen is checking for a new frame at 90Hz (1s/90=11ms)
