I chose 30fps with better graphics over 60fps with worse gfx today.

depends on the genre

I can't do 30 fps on my monitor with PC games. I'll upgrade when I can't consistently hit high/ultra settings at 45 or higher.

This games framerates tanks when I start driving in the wild. It'll be like 50, 45, 39, 30, 29, 40, 34... which looks jarring. A buttery smooth 30fps is much better imo.

Yeah a smooth framerate is all that really counts whether you prefer 30 or 60fps

When it drops constantly, you don't even wanna play anymore

Playin Alien Isolation at 30 frames

 

[SumBlackguyz]

Coli standards dictate I accept nothing under 90 FPS

 

[PS5 Pro]

I really like how the extra 30fps brought out this "sunlight effect" in the pics lardy posted.
The colors "pop" more in 60fps

Playing dying light on PC now. I know its not 60fps, but the only time framerate dips seem to bother me is when I'm running fraps. I don't run it, so I don't think about it

I've noticed anime seems to run even lower than 24fps, is this true? I can usually spot the missing frame of animation

 

[Rekkapryde]

excluding PCs

I'd take a solid 30 without sacrifices rather than 60 and gimped

Sunrays and volumetric fog is missing when I lower the settings. That changes how the game looks and "feels" completely. At 60fps it looks like a frigging Battlefield map.

Yeah, the game looks much better on ultra. When I was trying to play it, I refused to go below Ultra. I was able to get a steady 60 most of the time after the stutter patch, but those fukking sli issues.... I haven't touched it since. I dunno if they even fixed it. fukk ubisoft


Edit: I just checked, still AA ghosting with SLI. What a fukking horrible company. Another wasted $60

Locked 30FPS >>> fluctuations between 30-60

 

[Fatboi1]

I'm gonna throw some more pics of games that run at 60fps but with the expense of lowered settings.

 

[Czerka]

ive been playng cs go a lot lately and now that i have a proper setup my im playing at 144 fps+. huge difference and im much better now than i was at 30fps. but even 60 fps is a big improvement

what's the point? is it really a mystery that you can get the framerate up by lowering settings?

the only thing I really take away from all this is that at least on PC you can choose what's important to you, while on consoles you're stuck with whatever they give you
