I read many posts about people trying to increase their FPS on these forums. FPS and refresh rates (Hz) come hand in hand for you trying to increase them. If you are trying with a 60Hz monitor there is not much you can do unless you upgrade to one of 144Hz or better. This article discusses this and how you can improve them better than I can do.

On the XB version, it maxes out below 60HZ, as it’s capped at 60FPS(best case scenario). If you run the TV setting at 120HZ, you can get artifacts and the colors tend to be off especially in 4K HDR as the XB is trying to add additional capability to the game, which it doesn’t ask for. Works best at variable refresh and 60hz(XBOX settings). I flip it back to 120hz for all other games. PC’s of course, have an near endless amount of tweaks available to maximize image quality based on the capability of the PC, even a little bit of cheating is possible to squeak out a little extra performance, even purposely giving up some image quality.
Only if you are using V-sync

I have no issues but thought that I would post this to help others with FPS issues. This may help solve their problems and give them an understanding on how things work.
It’s really slow-motion analysis that benefits the most from high FPS.
Consider a golf swing:
Filmed at 10 frames per second and viewed on any monitor (the refresh rate doesn’t really matter as long as it’s more than 10Hz) a slow-motion playback will show the position of the golf club only at fairly well spaced intervals.
Film that swing at 240 FPS, and slow-motion playback will show the club’s position in much smaller time increments.
Super slo-mo requires very high frame rates. For example, here’s a video shot at 1,000,000 frames per second. If it had been shot at 60 FPS you would never be able to see anything but the post impact scar on the steel.
Similarly, a very fast plane moving past a static background requires higher frame rates to remain smooth.
Refresh rate affects how well the screen can keep up with the frame rate.
