You probably know how many gigahertz your PC can hit, at least according to the manufacturer. But do you actually need all that power? joins Gordon on the CES 2023 show floor to break it down for us: FPS counters are ruining gaming. At least that\u2019s what Brian says. <\/p>\n

\n<\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Brian says we should be ignoring the frame count and the benchmarks to focus on the actual experience of the game. \u201cAre you saying performance doesn\u2019t matter?\u201d Not at all \u2014 it\u2019s just that there\u2019s such a thing as too much power. Or at the very least, more power than you need for a high-quality gaming experience. Unless you\u2019re a pro gamer counting i-frames, do you really need 240 frames every second in every game? <\/p>\n<p>Of course, we at PCWorld and BPS Customs aren\u2019t entirely without fault. We drool over high-powered hardware too, sometimes without considering what most people can actually put to good use, both for practical applications and PC gaming. \u201cMost people shouldn\u2019t be buying a $1600 graphics card,\u201d Brian says. \u201cBut if you <em>are <\/em>going to buy a $1600 graphics card\u2026it should be this one!\u201d Gordon counters. <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re rushing to the comments section to give us a piece of your mind\u2026well, there isn\u2019t one. But there is one underneath every YouTube video, so to join the conversation. <\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/div>\n<div data-ga=\"article-footer-author\">\n<h3>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/author\/mcrider\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\tAuthor: Michael Crider<\/a>, Staff Writer\t\t<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1635298804-1.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1\" height=\"125\" width=\"125\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Michael is a former graphic designer who’s been building and tweaking desktop computers for longer than he cares to admit.
