Why Are People Going Crazy About FPS? Who cares

You should read that thread on Neogaf then. There is a guy on there, running it without the newest drivers, without the day one patch and all while streaming it to Twitch on a GTX 780 and a i7 at 4GHz and he's still getting 40-60FPS on max detail with some heavy AA.

me too

Me too, killing dudes and blowing stuff is fun !

Please save your AC comments, I don´t like AC .... and I have the entire collection ( include DS and PSP versions ), I find them boring as hell, but my son likes them so his daddy gets them for him.

1080p>FPS>LOD

@shadowwarrior-:

This whole time my console has been unplayable and I've been able to play. Do I have powers?

me too, sick of people freaking out about resolution, resolution doesnt help gameplay. We get games to play them, they arent movies, FPS>>>>>Resolution

FPS is the most important element of a video game, because gameplay depend on fps.

AC:Unity is unoptimized dogshit and shouldn't be supported on any platform, but there are those guys like TC that grab everything sadly and making this industrie even worse!

I don't go overboard with both framerate and resolution. So long as framerates stay at least 30 and preferably 40's and higher, I'm happy.

I'm more concerned about latency that could cause stutters. I can have framerates 60fps and above. But, if there's latency that's causing the game to stutter, then having those extra framerates would be pointless. Having lower framerates isn't necessarily bad so long as the game is playable.

I also don't mind lower resolution so long as my viewing device matches. For example, I don't mind 1366x768 or 720p on my 14" 16:9 laptop screen. On the other hand, 1366x768 on anything bigger (eg my monitors and TVs) would suck.

Sniper being pathetic as always.

You can really see details and smoothness without a stable framerate. You must not play online much?

you shouldn't have to choose one or the other. if the systems had been built to today's standards they would both be running everything up to 120fps @ 1080p, maybe 60fps @ 2160p.

but if the question is which is better, than neither. i would rather have a good in between with at least 45fps hopefully 1080p or higher than. but that also has to include the depth of field, anti-aliasings, bloom, high anisotropic filtering, good shaders, good post-processing, etc.

you are just wrong. Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition finally came out and I was ecstatic. Loaded it up and it felt like a slow motion nightmare, locked @ 30fps. I got about 10mins into it and just stopped. DSfix came out and it was like a whole new game running @ 60fps.

Is this a serious thread?

The big deal is that the game appears to drop frequently to the 20fps range, which is a problem. In that range the game become sluggish and erratic. Meaning IT'S NOT SMOOTH GAMEPLAY. Most people can deal with 30 fps, but those dips are horrendous.
