Vindicated: after speaking to some pro Counter-Strike players I’m sure I was right when I said 360 Hz is the sweet spot for competitive FPS
The article argues that 360 Hz remains the ideal refresh rate for competitive first-person shooters, particularly Counter-Strike, despite the availability of faster gaming monitors. The author says conversations with professional Counter-Strike players reinforced their earlier view that 360 Hz offers the best balance for serious competitive play.
