Is Fps Same as Hz

No; they are two separate things. Remember that FPS is how many frames your gaming computer is producing or drawing, while the refresh rate is how many times the monitor is refreshing the image on the screen. The refresh rate (Hz) of your monitor does not affect the frame rate (FPS) your GPU will be outputting.

Does 60hz mean 60 fps?

A 60hz monitor refreshes the screen 60 times per second. Therefore, a 60hz monitor is only capable of outputting 60fps. It can still feel smoother to play at a higher framerate than your monitor can display however, because input lag with your mouse will be reduced.

Is 75 Hz the same as FPS?

Hertz = 1 cycle per second. FPS = Frames per second. So, 75 Hertz = 75 frames per second. However, if you’re playing a game, it may not constantly run at that many frames per second.
