Questions and Answers

What is the minimum acceptable level for the refresh rate, measured in hertz (Hz)?

  • 60 Hz (correct)
  • 48 Hz
  • 24 Hz
  • 72 Hz
  • In the context of monitors, what does the frame rate measure?

  • The content of the primary frame buffer found on the video card
  • The speed a video source can provide an entire frame for the display (correct)
  • The rate at which the monitor displays frames per second
  • The number of times images are refreshed on the display
  • What does it mean when the monitor's refresh rate and the application's FPS are out of sync?

  • The monitor and the video card are not in sync
  • They need to be reset to default settings
  • It results in smoother display performance
  • The refresh rate can be different from the application's frame rate (correct)

    How does vSync impact an application's frame generation if the monitor's refresh rate is higher than the application's FPS?
