That's fundamentally wrong. More frames and the information displayed on your screen will be newer.

For the sake of simplicity, let's say you had 1hz screen and GPU producing 1fps. By the time a frame would appear on your screen, it's already 1 second old. You get to see the frame that was generated 1 second ago.

Now, if you had 4fps, the frame you see would only be 0.25 seconds old.

Linus had a video a while back, comparing 60hz and 60fps vs 60hz and 240fps. The difference is MASSIVE.

I think in your second example you would have horrendous screen tearing

With a 1hz screen, screen tearing would be the least of your problems:)
