What determines frame rate?

Frame rate is produced by a combination of your graphics card and your processor, so it is essentially the number of frames a system is able to produce in a second, whereas refresh rate is the rate at which a monitor is able to completely refresh its display.

How does frame rate affect video quality?

The higher frames per second, the slower the slow motion will be. For example, videos recorded at 120fps can be slowed down to a 24-frame rate, which creates that smooth slow-motion effect. The notion that higher resolution video looks better with higher frame rate examples is dependent on the display capabilities.

What frame rate means?

Frame Rate refers to the frequency at which consecutive images are displayed, and is typically expressed in frames per second (fps). Whether discussing film and video cameras, computer graphics, or motion capture systems, the term frame rate has the same meaning.
