Several manufacturers at Computex 2026 informed Tom's Hardware that they are preparing to increase production of DDR4 memory and older motherboards that support it. Demand has increased...
No. No it is not. 60fps is totally fine for most things. Even great FPS’s can have excellent, snappy gameplay at 60fps.
There is more to responsiveness and crispness of the picture than just the framerate. An excellent gaming monitor that has minimal input processing time, virtually no ghosting at 60fps, and vibrant colors is going to feel WAY better than some cheap office monitor at 60fps. Especially if it has adaptive refresh rate.
It’s the ENTIRE reason CRTs were heralded as a wonderful gaming experience for the longest time until LCDs got good enough for humans to no longer notice the input lag, ghosting, and lesser color space of LCDs.
Only in the past handful of years have LCDs come out at reasonable price points that can even approach a good CRT.
BTW, my slowest monitor is a 120hz 1440p, so I’m not talking from cope.
There’s a paper somewhere where researchers tested this. Some people discern higher frame rates, but many could not as the brain has a refresh rate of its own that analyzes incoming vision stream. At some point the brain won’t notice a difference because its only getting X snapshots per second, not a true live stream.
60fps is like saying 640x480 resolution is enough and eyes can’t see more pixels, no need for HD.
I had plenty of fun playing Cyberpunk on my steam deck hooked up to a 1080p monitor running upscaled at around 30fps.
So did i playing duck hunt on NES

That’s a strange looking apple you’ve got there, friend.
