Poll Does playing a game at stable 30 fps bother you? (91 votes)

Yes, I cannot tolerate 30 fps! 26%
I'm ok with it, but prefer better. 38%
It doesn't bother me at all. 35%

I've been playing Watch Dogs Legion on PS5, and this game is beautiful! It also features that fancy ray tracing some people be fawning about. But the game only allows 30fps! Having been spoiled with the PS5, I thought maybe it would be a problem. But actually, my eyes adjusted to it and its fine. I enjoy the game! So far, playing at stable 30fps is not bad. How about you, SW? Does playing a game at stable 30 fps bother you?

Wow, so 76% of people are ok with stable 30fps. The Hermits have been owned!!

Indeed. They are owning themselves worrying what other people play and how.

Depends on the game, but I can play a locked 30. I still much prefer at least 60.

I am trying real hard to get to your level so you're able to understand what i am saying. Yes, its getting more frequent because i am very worried about you not understanding what i am saying. You should thank me instead of laughing. If it was someone else, they would never in their life bother to get to the bottom of the barrel, your level. 🙃

30 fps work just fine for me in the vast majority of games. However, if the game is very fast-paced, like NHL, I need 60 fps.

I think it ultimately comes down to a calculation of frame rate, pixel density, and distance from the screen.

Your standards are very low, you're into Ubi games afterall, so your impression of "far above and beyond" isn't saying much. Hope this doesn't upset you too much 😥

I don't mind. I mean I can go from playing Overwatch on PC to Switch no problem. I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 at 30fps for most of it. I can get it to run at 60fps, but it can look rather messy.

I bet this question has been asked at least seventy times on this forum alone. Maybe more. Probably more.

Okay with it, depending on the game, but definitely prefer sixty.

Doesn't bother me on console much. I know the hardware isn't the latest PC tech. I would prefer if more console developers target 60fps instead of 30. I'd take slightly worse graphics in 60fps over slightly better graphics in 30.

30 fps makes my eyes bleed. Even 60 feels less than ideal now, but not bad by any means.

I can deal with a solid 30fps with no screen tearing. That's only if I can't run a game at a near locked 60fps.

There are certain cases where I can't go back to 30 frames. With Mass Effect, I originally played it on PC at 60 frames. When I tried it on the Xbox One X, I couldn't deal with the lower framerate. The game felt so slow.

30fps with Motion Blur does help out alot when I don't have a choice and so with that, "I'm ok with it, but prefer better" but I'm mainly speaking on consoles.

To any console gamers regarding 30fps vs 60fps. You can literally feel it in some games...It feels less responsive and the gameplay and what's going on the screen just doesn't feel as fluid. I guarantee if you were playing a game on 60fps for about a few minutes and suddenly switched to 30fps, it would be the difference between Day/Night. All I'm gonna say about the matter is that ignorance is bliss and if you can't notice the difference between 30fps and 60fps, then you should enjoy.

@ConanTheStoner said:

Honestly, yeah. I'll tolerate it for some game types, but it can be a deal breaker for others. 60 minimum plz.

Even for the "I prefer pretty over performance" types, I still don't get it. As soon as you're in motion, 30fps turns that pretty image to mud.

End of the day, I'll still put up with it for a great game. Had a good time with games like Bloodborne and BotW, and those games don't even hold their 30 well. Still was a constant annoyance in both games.

Very true and for me, after getting used to 144hz, I can't go back to 60fps lol. Nevermind 30fps. It just looks and feels awful. At least you can enjoy BOTW on...PC if you know what I mean😉

Yeah, it's probably not that bad if you're only used to 60 Hz/fps max, but once you pass that 100 Hz/fps threshold, 30 is just that much worse.

Low frame rates was why I never got into the Saints Row series. I tried one on Xbox 360 but a combination of the bloom, and blur from the 30 (or maybe less) frames a second, that game would give me massive headaches after about 10 minutes. I liken 30FPS as gaming with a concussion.

For an FPS game, I hate 30 FPS.

I'm okay with 30 FPS if the game is slow paced.

The difference in playing AC Valhalla at 60 over 30 was a huge difference even from someone who didn't care about fps.

After joining the master race back in 2016. I never want to go back to 30fps. For me, either 60fps or above.
