Helios 300 G3-571 PUBG QUESTION

I have everything on Ultra except Shadows and foliage on very low. Average around 90fps. I have 16GBs of Ram though.

Can I ask what the reason is for 144 Hz or even 100 Hz?  Are you running some sort of 3D glasses?  If not, what is the point?

I use an external monitor with my laptop, using it more of like a desktop really. Anyways, my monitor has a 144hz refresh rate, which means that it refreshes the screen 144 times per a second. When gaming, you want a fps at least as high as your monitors refresh rate to get smoother game play and to utilize your monitor as much as possible.

Now whether it is actually any smoother is a matter of opinion, kind of. I personally feel that 144hz is more responsive while gaming and feels smoother. A lot of pro's usually use 144 hz or even 200+hz screens, just to have the monitor not being the limiting factor in your game play. Im not too sure what refresh rate has to do with 3d glasses though, sorry.

Also, if you are using the built in display, it is somewhat pointless to go above 60 fps since the screen is locked at 60hz, but some also argue that not locking your fps results in less latency while gaming, which is important for fps games like PUBG.

If you understand a little bit about biology and how the brain  processes data, you are both right and wrong.  We are not talking subtle differences in brightness for which you can probably see several hundred FPS differences.  It is your ability to see a rendered frame with understanding of that full frame and to process that full frame.  Your brain is designed to see a scene and then reject most of it and take what it needs as pertinent information from said scene while rejecting probably 90% of the rest of it.  If it were to do different and process an entire scene each and every time and remember the entire scene, you would basically run out of memory.

The point being, somewhere around 30+ FPS, you brain processes this as fluid motion.  Anything more is pure myth if we are qualifying a rendered scene as I state above.  This is why the 48 FPS Hobbit movie was not even noticed as being 48 FPS or hardly noticed.  This also added sharpness in areas where it was not liked much, but that is a different argument.

Anyway, not trying to make this a sensitive topic and if it is that sensitive, then, we can probably drop it.  Not worth getting all riled up over.

You are mixing up a bit of information. You are right in that our brain can fill in information. However, the thresh hold for fluid motion is 18 frames per second, not around 30. That is why TV is usually at 24 fps. But just because our brain can "fill in" the rest of the information doesn't mean that more frames  become "garbage". If you have ever tried playing a game at 18 fps, you will notice that yeah it looks ok, but it is not smooth. This is because the brain, from a electrochemical perspective can perceive the difference differences in higher frame rates, and higher frame rates also make the fluid motion even more fluid. The neuron's with myelin sheaths, such as the ones in our eyes, can receive and send information to the brain every 1ms, which means that the nerves can send 1000 fps to the brain. This is because the myelin sheaths create structures called nodes of ranvier that allow the signals to "jump" faster through the neuron, which is why they are able to send so many signals to the brain.The brain can perceive the difference between 18 fps all the way to 1000 fps. However, this is only important to video games, where you are in control of the characters movements. Low fps are perceived as fluid motion, but not as fluid as the movement of your mouse or keys. That is why higher fps, which becomes more fluid is useful in video games because the motion of your mouse and the motion of your characters movement are more in sync. And the picture is much more smoother. So, overall, the brain can easily comprehend frame rates greater than 30 fps. That is why we don't play video games at 18 fps. That is also why we do watch movies and other things at that frame rate, because in those cases it doesn't matter either since there is no "movement" of your own that you have to worry about. But, the extra frames are not "wasted" as you suggested earlier. But it is possible that some people are too slow to notice anything greater than 30 fps

P.S. I am a Biochemistry PhD candidate, so I'm pretty sure I understand Biology just fine
