It ticks me off when i see twitch streamers with the fps displayed and its running at 300+ fps. What a waste of electricity, money and hardware.

Eh, more frames means better latency, but up to what point it still makes sense is a whole other story.

Turn on Nvidia reflex/AMD Anti-Lag and you got both, lower latency and lower power usage

Reflex at 100 fps still won't compare to 300 fps without Reflex though

I wonder why, because technically it should be pretty much the same thing

Reflex just shaves off the extra overhead you'd get from having the gpu run at its limit. It won't make a low framerate have the same latency as a drastically higher one

I know, that's exactly what I am talking about

I think I might be too dense to get what you mean, then

Already set. I'm not that competitive player and my reflexes are worse than a sloth's. So I didn't even bother to buy a higher refresh rate monitor than 60.

Not only does this reduce GPU power usage but CPU as well.
