the claim

Higher refresh rate improves gaming performance.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that higher refresh rate improves gaming performance?

Partly. One peer-reviewed experiment with skilled gamers found hit score and event interval time improved across refresh rates from 60Hz to 480Hz in a fast-paced FPS, supporting the claim only for that game and population. A separate visuomotor tracking study found higher target refresh rates widened age-related tracking deficits, a partial counterpoint in a non-gaming task.
