I am such graphics (visual) Enthusiast but 60 FPS improve so much game feel!!! Which you choose?

[mcruz79]

This week I started and finished yesterday ryse of the tomb raider on PS4 Pro since game was available for free for Plus members.
I finished this game on release date on Xbox One in 2015.
Imstarted the game in the 4K mode because I am such a graphic enthusiast but man, when i changed to 60 FPS mode, the game feels and controls so much better!!
And the frame isn't even stable in this mode but the camera control get so much better and more enjoyable!!
I've been thinking this lately because many games on PS5/series X will Probable offer the options to play in 60 FPS mode with reduced graphical quality.
it will be a hard choice for me which option to choose in the first playthrough!
for exemple, watching that video from demon souls with gameplay in 60 FPS Made me think how much better the feel of the gameplay will be in this mode, but, for exemple, the miles morales will make me feel strange playing in 60 FPS mode if there's some graphical features available only in the 30 FPS mode...
so, how you guys feel about this.
which option you will choose in your first playthrough?

 

[RoboPlato]

It depends but if it's just a switch to dynamic res or reconstruction versus native and it's a proper 60fps mode I'll choose that the vast majority of the time. Very excited that there are 60fps modes for games like Miles and Demon's Souls.

 

[BasilZero]

As long as its 1080p - I am fine - I rather have 60 FPS.

 

[Fuhgeddit]

60fps is amazing

 

[Jawmuncher]

I will game at 720P if it means 60FPS

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I don't care about graphics at all as long as the game functions properly. Graphics age way too quickly for me to get invested in - by comparison, solid frame rates are forever.

 

[Spazerbeam]

60fps no exceptions

 

[nsilvias]

60 fps makes a game feel good to play

 

[Khrol]

60fps should be the standard nowadays. Games look and feel so much better.

 

[Fuhgeddit]

I can't wait to play destiny 2 and Borderlands 3 in 60fps

 

[Kinggroin]

I prefer 60fps and good graphics over 60fps and not as good graphics.

 

[Jiraiya]

30 is fine for me. I wouldn't mind if ND's next game is 30 fps with this much power.

 

[Lashley]

Framerate

 

[Bradford]

Framerate over everything else. Every time this thread gets posted I say the same thing, lol.

 

[SteveWinwood]

60? those are rookie numbers

gotta get those up

144 hz for life son

its the best feeling thing in the world

 

[mcruz79]

60 fps makes a game feel good to play

Click to shrink...

that's my feeling!
the controls become so much more enjoyable!!
but there's some developers that, i don't know how, make even 30 FPS feel really good to control!!
i remember spider man being super ultra enjoyable to control even if it's only 30 FPS!

 

[deltabreak]

Games look good enough already. 60fps.

 

[RPGam3r]

I will absolutely sacrifice 60fps for better graphic enhancements. I can barely tell the difference, not to mention have played countless great games sub 60fps.

 

[delete]

What I think is best is the trend that people are getting options in regards to console gaming, I hope this trend continues especially with all the dynamic resolution techniques like DLSS, check boarding and temporal resolution gaining traction.

I remember playing TLOU on ps3 which barely held 30 fps sometimes and replaying at 60fps on the ps4 remaster. Was definitely a better experience to play.

Also kind of my main problem with the Nintendo Switch as a console, can't even play a Unity engine game (Furi) at a consistent 60fps with the settings that they dialled in for the port.

STABLE 60fps is better than 30fps for sure, but if that isn't possible then I would prefer a stable 30fps or an optional performance mode that would get a locked 60.

 

[Maple]

I'll take 60 FPS over native 4K every day of the week.

On PC, 1440p and 144+ FPS is the sweet spot.

 

[Cipherr]

Yeah I have come to prefer 144fps with adaptive sync, theres nothing like it, but 60fps minimum. Im a total whore for framerate. It improves the feel and look of the game FAR too much to sacrifice.

Keep the sub 60fps modes with improved visuals for stuff like bullshots and marketing material.

 

[Vimto]

60 IS the compromise.

144 is what I prefer.

 

[meph]

No choice necessary: 2K @ 144 FPS.

 

[super-famicom]

I went from 1080p/60Hz to 1440p/165Hz and it's awesome. I will always prioritize framerate, though.

 

[supernormal]

I won't give up FPS for resolution above 1080, but higher fidelity effects and raytracing will put me right at 30fps any day.

 

[III-V]

Would always prefer 60.

 

[Skyebaron]

I can only excuse 30fps when its on a turn based RPG. Even then, the menus should be @ 60fps.

 

[Dennis8K]

High Fidelity.

Ultra graphics @ 24 fps >>>>>> High graphics @ 60 fps

 

[Dancrane212]

60 FPS makes for a far more readable image (more frames on screen) as well as making the game play better. It's an easy pick.

 

[VanWinkle]

I'll try both and decide from there. I do love 60fps, but that isn't always the best for me. For instance, I tried 4k30 and 1080p60 on Forza Horizon 4 on One X, and decided with 4k30. The resolution bump was so great that I couldn't sacrifice that much resolution.

 

[pochi]

144+ fps gang

 

[Betelgeuse]

Depends. How consistent is the performance mode is (locked or near it, wildly variable)? What concessions does it require? Is this a fast-paced or multiplayer game, or something that's slower paced?

These considerations lead me to make different decisions depending on the circumstance. For God of War, I've primarily played at 30 fps due to the far superior visuals but have switched to 60 during some fights. I opted for 30 over 60 in Hellblade and The Witness. In contrast, I opted for 60 in No Man's Sky as the resolution mode frequently drops below 30 fps and feels really poor to control.

1440p high ultra at 144 hz has opened my eyes. But whatever it is i choose stability over everything else. Tearing or stutter hurt my brain.

 

[Irikan]

Depends on the genre and how much I lose by going 60fps. Like for a game like DMCV, I can't and will not play that at 30fps, that game deserves 60fps.

[ResetEraVetVIP]

30 FPS is good for some genres, but I need 30 FPS locked with Motion blur... just look at TLOU II.

 

[Venture]

Better graphics all day. The obsession with 60 FPS is something I've never understood. I guess some people are just more sensitive to framerates.

This.

 

[Altair]

Framerate without question. Visuals mean nothing to me if the game feels like shit to play.

 

[diablogg]

120 fps if I can chose, the massive way it improves game feel trumps how pretty something can look

 

[defaltoption]

I will always choose 60fps

I hope that next gen we don't just get 4K 60 with less great graphics or 4K 30 with everything on.

Give me 1440p or 1080p 60fps with everything on

 

[Dennis8K]

You know you are living in 2020 when the best option is losing the poll.

 

[Jtrizzy]

1440p120, even without checker boarding or DLSS on a 4K set is better than 4k60, and 30 is unbearable for me.

 

[Yasuke]

I typically go for graphics.

I can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps though.

 

[Ghostsonplanets]

60 FPS for sure! Hell, I have much more fun playing Zelda ALBW than LW because of the 60 FPS feel. And the game was called ugly by reviewers itself. So yeah, i'm a frame-rate before resolution person.

 

[The Omega Man]

people that choose 4K/30fps are amateurs.
If you are a graphics enthusiast then 4K or 8K with Ray Tracing, AA and Aniso Maxed Out at 10 fps is the way to go, screw playability and responsivness, let me stare at those reflections and god rays.

 

[melodiousmowl]

acuity 30fps+ > stable frame rates > 60+fps

vrr should be a game changer and make more framerates feel stable

 

[Aaronmac]

I play games to interact with them. 60fps results in better/more responsive interactivity while also providing smoother motion. 60fps every time without question.

 

[NaudiRajah]

Higher FPS is really the only option.
