Is 60hz really an obstacle to a good aim?

[outer linden]

So im stuck on 60hz for now slowly getting better score on kovakks, seeing improvements in ow but i wonder if higher refresh rate really makes a big diff in aiming as a whole?

The smoothness of more hz helps mostly on scenarios depending heavly on reactivity tasks making it easier to react to slowing down of targets. Usually what makes most diffrence is the response time and fps you can generate on your pc so the thing you see is as recent as possible. When i swaped from 75 to 240 it made my scores around 3-5% better which is not much. It also can be pretty much a placebo. You can take into account I'm around Jade right now. The better you are the more diffrence you will see in diffrent upgrades.

it made a huge dif for me and if your main game is ow then it will def make a difference because faster strafes are easier to track with high hz

high refresh rate does make a huge difference but dont let it discourage you from putting in the work now and putting it off. the gains you make on 60 hz will transfer once you are in a spot to get a better panel

It'll be harder but it can be done. When you can afford it, take the opportunity to increase refresh as soon as possible. Having good equipment matters.
