A higher refresh rate means a lower time between frames with diminishing returns (according to the equation 1/f). Refresh rate (hz) - The frequency at which your display shows you a new frame.Even slight increases in input lag are perceived by the player during gameplay, such as the ship feeling 'heavy' or the wave feeling 'inconsistent'.
Perhaps the most important technical metric there is to a Geometry Dash player. Input lag (ms) - The length of time between a player's input (a click, spacebar press, or tap) and the movement of their icon.Here's a list of all the techniques I have gathered over the years to make Geometry Dash easier via reducing input lag to the absolute minimum. You too might start to realize how even a handful of frames can mean the difference between your skill cap soaring or stagnating. It's kinda unlike any other game in how much fancy tech numbers like millisecond response times and 120hz+ refresh rates affect the player experience. Part of my 8 years playing Geometry Dash has involved an increasing awareness of how much easier the game is with lower input lag.
