Monitor : BenQ 240hz Monitor (most 144hz Monitors are fine though)
Mouse: Logitech G Pro Superlight / Razer Viper V2 Wireless (I don’t recommend mouses above 80Grams for FPS if you can avoid)
Mousepad : Qck+ / Razer Gigantus v2 / Any artisan mousepads / G640 / G-SR-SE
Keyboard: Any Cherry red switch keyboard. I recommend tbh. I’ve only ever used those, and the keyboard matters a lot less than everything else.
(If you really want to go extra for Keyboard Wooting or Steelseries Apex Pro.)
Graphic - All low
DPI - 800-3200 is fine. I recommend 1600dpi which I personally use.
Edpi = Sen x Dpi
Recommended Edpi Range - 3200-5600 imo 4000 is the best if you can use it for all characters its a good middle ground I’m not very good with too high sens (Had a CS:GO background my sens quite high for CS) so I can’t use it for Hitscan like Mcree.
Sensitivity I use between: 2.10-2.50 (Edpi of 3360-4000)
I used to think the same way with my 80g G-Pro. Then I got a hold of a G502X Plus at 120g’s, and it made a big difference in my Widow game. It is fully wireless, has superior ergonomics, and just light enough to still allow accurate flicks when necessary. I would not recommend anything heavier that 120g, so this baby is right at my weight limit.
I personally run 3200cpi / edpi, or 1000 dpi at 3.2 mouse sensitivity. Any higher and I lose aim stability when sniping.
I don’t recommend this if you are running a decent video card because you still hit the FPS cap, but lots of environmental details disappear. I run mid-high settings on my RTX2080ti, and I still get 145-165fps stable.
I think you might’ve been well of with the G-Pro and using a super slow pad like Zowie GSR it would create a similar affect to having a heavier mouse.
As friction would be quite high I’m assuming it was the stability of switching to a lighter mouse which would’ve decreased friction which you wouldn’t have been used to.
But it is preference at the end of the day some people do prefer heavier mouses I think for 90% of people though lighter mouses work better.
But your 1% Lows will give you bad micro stutters I don’t think the frametime will be extremely stable, I get 500fps and cap it at 300 so I don’t get any micro stutters (All low.)
Thats good I personally don’t use gsync because I don’t want extra delay/lower frames even if it is only a very small amount (vsync is terrible for latency gsync is nothing close to that)
Gsync also limits fps to 144 I think I heard somewhere might be wrong on this particular one, though, so take this one with a grain of salt someone let me know if I’m wrong.
GSYNC has no hard upper limit, though the monitor hardware is the limiting factor. All GSYNC does is match the GPU’s frame rate output to the monitor so that both are in perfect sync, thereby avoiding video tearing and other artifacts that occur when the monitory is given too high a frame rate that it cannot handle, but without the input lag caused by VSYNC.
I have an Asus 17" with hardware GSYNC, and it runs 165fps no prob. Newer models go 240hz+ with GSYNC as well.
I’d also recommend a glass pad if you have the control for it.
No need to make the game look awful. If I were you I’d fiddle with the settings. You have a 240hz monitor, so try to make your game look as good as possible without going below 250 fps. I only have a 3060 and I managed to get a fairly stable 400-500 fps on good graphics settings. It all really depends on what you change.
If it was up to me I would focus 144fps consistent and then focus on everything else in this order
Then mouse and mousepad keyboard matters less than everything else for me, mouse and mousepad are your main aim factor.
They’re good too a bit niche because a lot of games you will struggle to get 360 consistently and some of them don’t have good response times the 360hz benq one is good I would probably consider it if I had spare funds but it just isn’t worthwhile for the small increase for me.
I’m not bothered about graphics. I want to be on 300fps consistently even if we drop 12 ults and all our abilities. If I stutter, it genuinely annoys me.
Its all preference I think most people get on better with cloth glass is quite niche audience definetly really good for tracking though.
I switch between the faster and slower cloth pads sometimes hybrid pads never tried a glass so maybe I should but I don’t think its for me.
Texture quality on high almost doesn’t change the FPS at all but it makes the game visually look much better so I think it’s worth trying. Antialias Quality on low FXAA also are something I use. It makes it much easier to see the outline of enemies further away from you and I find it beneficial for heroes like Widow. I play on 1080p btw.
Other than that I have all settings on low or off.
I’m not bothered about graphics. I don’t really get amazement from that kind of thing, like seeing the most beautiful sight in nature doesn’t invoke much of a feeling in me, so a game definitely won’t.
I used to play overwatch on 50% resolution in OW1 and it was a grainy mess I would rather have more stable fps than any graphics at all.
I think you’ll find that good graphics provide just as much advantage as fps. It’s much easier to kill people that you can see clearly. Try to get your fps stable with good graphics and your gameplay will improve.
It’s not true. G-SYNC works in a limited range no higher than the refresh rate of the monitor screen. For example, the ASUS VG259Q monitor has a range of 48-144 Hz
Moreover, for G-SYNC to work correctly, you also need to enable V-SYNC in the Nvidia Control Panel. I recommend reading G-SYNC 101 guide from Blurbusters
It’s a good list, but I’d strongly caution people against putting too much emphasis on the best equipment. For most people it won’t matter, and honestly will be a waste pf money.
I played on 60fps until I hit diamond, for example, since OW was my first FPS and I didn’t have a gaming PC. It’s not until you get to around that rank that equipment starts to matter (and for things like mice, just pick something you like, counting the weight of your mouse is overkill for anyone, honestly)
If someone is a gearhead as a hobby, absolutely have fun getting into details on your equipment, but it can be overkill for the average player
This does not sound right. Vsync is not needed and actually introduces input lag in my games when used. Also the frequency range is a limitation on the monitor, not GSYNC. GSYNC functions more like a reverse VSYNC for lack of better terms. Yes, I have GSYNC enabled in all video modes.
Check out the Nvidia website. There is a complete list of monitors that support G-SYNC, and the range in which G-SYNC works is indicated. G-SYNC Compatible have a smaller range than G-SYNC and G-SYNC Ultimate

I use a 3080ti and recently went to low graphics settings after having used high and medium for a long time.
Immediately noticed faster response despite my frames being the same in practice range. Other maps will have it drop on higher settings. Either way, aiming is far easier and more responsive.
500-600 frames in deathmatch maps and it still is faster response than on higher settings despite the frame rate being the same.
For snipers I could see this being fine.
I don’t get how you guys run such low sens.
12 and 4000 dpi for 48kedpi is what real ones use. Dva gets away with it since so much of her aim is practically pointblank anyway
What on earth bro 12 in-game sens and 4000 DPI? That’s outside of the normal range and I haven’t seen a single pro use that high EDPI. pros most often use EDPI ranging between 3000 and 8000 at most. Around 4400 EDPI are what flex players usually play on. Pros who play with multiple in-game sensetivities could sometimes use 7000 EDPI on heroes like Genji but perhaps 4000 EDPI on other heroes that requires small movements.
