      Idk man, I’ve enjoyed many a game at 30 fps. 60 is my general target but acting like it’s a minimum to have a fun time is ridiculous.

          Its an opinion, I am used to a smooth experience, I play some fast paced games at 60 on my Steam Deck, its passable, but I’d obviously rather be having it run silky smooth on my PC.

          If you have never really played games at higher than 30/60, then it’s impossible to understand.

              My display is 144hz and I’ve played quite a few games at that framerate. When you’re talking about smoothness, what you’re actually talking about is frame time. A consistent FPS at 30 is smooth, if there’s not inconsistent frametime and stutters.

                  Well framerate is defined by frametime. Though the average displayed framerate differs if the frametimes are not consistent.

                  What I am talking about with “smoothness” here is higher framerate, I am used to 120fps on most games, I normally lock my fps to that. You may not notice it going up, but you notice it a lot when going back down to 60.

                  Everyone has different standards and preferences, I’d rather not play any fast shooter at 60fps.

                  If it’s an opinion, write it like it’s an opinion. You’re clearly not an idiot. Just say what you mean.

                      Yea it was a bit of a preach, I’ll admit.

                      I just think people should want higher standards, hardware is so powerful now, there’s no excuse for every game not to be targeting 120fps.
