TechCompare's gaming tools help you reason about PC performance before and after an upgrade. See exactly how much smoother 120 FPS looks compared to 60 FPS, and estimate how long that 120 GB game will take to download at your connection speed.
Use this category when building a new rig, comparing refresh rate tiers, or deciding whether a high-refresh monitor upgrade is worth it for the games you actually play. The FPS Visualizer and Data Transfer Calculator give you the perceptual and practical context around raw numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I really feel the difference between 60 FPS and 144 FPS?
Yes, especially with mouse input and camera motion in first-person games. The FPS Visualizer shows the actual motion smoothness difference by animating moving objects at both rates side-by-side, so you can judge it for yourself instead of relying on second-hand opinions.
Why is my game downloading so slowly?
Almost always because of your connection, not the storefront. The Data Transfer Calculator converts a file size into an expected time at any Mbps value; a 100 GB game at 50 Mbps is roughly 4.5 hours, which is what the physics predicts regardless of which platform you're using.
Do these tools work on consoles or phones?
The visualizers and calculators work on any modern browser including mobile Safari and Chrome on Android.
How do I decide if a monitor upgrade is worth it?
Use the FPS Visualizer to see the actual smoothness difference between your current and target refresh rate. Pair it with the Display Bandwidth Calculator to confirm your cable can carry the new mode, and the Power Cost Estimator to factor in any change in running cost.
