Honestly I don’t see any reason to ever pick 30 over 60

The graphics difference is almost never even close to good enough to warrant losing 60 fps, smoother gameplay is much more important to me than having the game look very slightly better

Well if i had to pick 60 obviously but i dont die when its 30, especially stable 30. When gta 5 launched on the xbox 360 and ps3 did you refuse to play it?

I prefer 30fps with better graphics. Even in combat games, I am used to bad computers my whole teenage life. 😅

60 FPS all day long but anything over that I find pointless.

I always been a console.player. The great majority of what I played up to the PS4 was at 30 fps. But sometimes, some games would run at 60 and I didnt even know why It felt so good to watch and play. The difference is inmmense, well worth it sacrificing quality.

Now that I have a PC, I simple rather escalate resolution or turn down effects than reducing fps.

30fps doesnt bother me, im a huge Zelda fan and the first 3D game to run at 60fps is SSHD and i never realy cared about it, the N64 games ran at 20 and that was just nasty but if a game caps the framerate at 30 i wont mind but if it lets me choose quality or performance i will always choose performance to get to 60fps.

60 for competitive multiplayer games because you need it to be smooth. 30 for games that focus on graphics over fps. For example GOW Ragnarok fidelity mode

I play videogames since the 16-bit generation, although I had a Master System as my first console followed by a N64. Back in the 90s/early 2000, the consoles were underpowered, and we could see a FPS ranging from 60 FPS to 10-15 FPS in certain games, and honestly, I didn’t have much of problem because of this. The PS2/GameCube/Xbox/Dreamcast generation was much smoother with lot of titles running at fixed 30 or 60 FPS, and the PS3/Xbox 360 returned to unstable 20-25 FPS, although the fact that those consoles had a massive increase in graphics during this first HD era could be reasonable. But honestly, I had fun during all these eras (e.g: San Andreas used to run at <30 fps for instance) and the only place where I’d struggle to get a game running with acceptable FPS was the PC.

But it’s a bummer that games still have PS4/Xbox One graphics even if they are running at 60 FPS. I honestly would prefer to see a 30 FPS game with graphics from that Matrix Unreal Demo.

I honestly dont care. I dont actually see the difference between the two unless im actually looking for differences. I just want to play good games, not games that have the "best graphics" or the "best framerates".

What even is this question, of course people will pick 60FPS

If there's a choice I choose 60fps or in case of competitive FPS above 60. Anything over 144fps is pleasing to the eye, but has diminishing returns reaction-wise and puts exponential strain on hardware.

30fps is absolutely playable for portability, power saving or if hardware can't do more. I can tolerate occasional dips to 20s for the same reasons

PC player exclusively for 10 years and mixed consoles/PC another 10 years.

If I get 60 fps and don't lose much, then it's worth it. But take Apex on Switch for example. The game looks like trash, with what seems to be lowest settings, and if that wasn't enough, the resolution is so bad that I have a hard time seeing anything. And it's 30 FPS. In a case like that, I would totally take the 30, because 60 fps would mean lowering the settings even further. And at that point it'd in playable.

But since I've been a Switch player for a while, I don't mind having to run lowest settings + 30 FPS + 720p

obviously I always prefer 60FPS especially considering the miniscule graphic differences, but for me 30FPS isn't life ending. I've played games with worse frame rates

Always 60fps. Fidelity mode is only useful for Screenshots imo 😄

You forgot don't care as an option.

It matters and once you get better…it’s hard to go back

I tried to play 30 fps Bloodborne and literally fucking hated everything about it but forced myself to play for about 2 hours because I heard the pure unadulterated rage subsides and your eyes get used to it and it's true. Ended up having a great time and playing it all night.

That being said 144 FPS is where the kings live, sorry.

Personally I prefer 40 Fps for Story games, it feels the same as 60 fps for the most part but looks like 30.

In computer, nearly impossible to play 30 FPS without a gamepad.

In a gaming console, it is not so bad.

Before I built my PC, I was steaming 30fps off my laptop, and when I watched it back I could tell the difference between the capture and what I had played, so would definitely prefer 60

if im playing on my xbox series x i cannot stand anything other than 60 fps or higher, but if i were to be for example streaming my game to my phone or playing on a console on a smaller display i can then handle 30 fps

I think that if my brain knows that the current console or pc I’m using can definitely run the game at 60fps but I’ve set it to 30fps capped it feels horrible to play. However, with stuff like an Xbox one on GTA for example, it seems smooth because I know it won’t run it at 60fps

The fact is, even with "worse" settings, 60fps will almost always look better than 30

Only exception I have see was Horizon 2 on day one. The performance move was night and day compared to the graphics mode, which probably still is the best looking game on the system

I don’t mind 30fps but I would definitely prefer 60

As someone who values HD and pretty pictures over everything when watching movies, gaming, etc. I have to say if I can max out the graphics and play at 60 I will always do so.

However that's not to say that I won't play at 30 either. I have found in some circumstances in fact that while running at 30 and having all other graphical settings pushed up I can still get that gorgeous image quality I like at the expense of some of the smoothed out movement that 60 provides.

So I guess what I'm saying is, if 60 is available at full HD then sure I'm in. But if I have to settle for 30 as long as the image and graphics displayed are still crispy then I won't turn my nose up at 30 either.

Once you experience 60 fps its hard to go back to 30. Especially on Elden Ring.

Are you still then mostly playing on consol after you have got a pc?

Why would someone prefer 30fps, surely this vote is pointless?

Some games feel slow when running at 30fps forza horizon for one others feel normal

Can't tell the difference.

I usually can’t tell the difference unless it’s side by side

Prefer 60 but 30 fps in no way deters me from enjoying anything, it just takes some getting used to.

can't you infect me with that mentality, because I'm quite envious of that opinion.

36 fps gang :gigachad:

I literally can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 so I don't care at all

Does no one play 120?

anything greater than fluctuations from 12-20 is great.

If the image quality doesn’t make that much of a difference, I will go with 60. However if the difference is severe(like in hogwarts legacy), I will choose 30 fps. My samsung qn90b has game motion plus and it makes 30 fps look smooth without input lag and some games just look much better in 30 fps modes

what kinda question is this? if its the matter of FPS and graphics are the same then 60FPS all the way!!

Wheres the option for people who dont give a shet and will game on w.e is available?

I don't understand people who say 30 FPS is unplayable. I swear back in 2012 you'd be praying to get 30 fps
