Yes 30fps is horrible.

Lock the framerate to 25FPS for 3 days. Then play on 30 FPS. Everything will feel butter smooth.

Having grown up with games that dipped below 20 fps, I think a locked 30 fps is nice. 60 fps is just being spoiled.

Something I feel like is worth mentioning is that it feels a lot different playing a 30fps game with a controller compared to mouse and keyboard

Nothing wrong with 30fps in my opinion 😁

I’ll never understand the kids and gamers nowadays that want to complain about a game being 30 FPS. PS3 runs 30FPS, PS4 the same thing. We’ve been playing games at 30FPS for two console generations and now on this one obviously some games still run at 30. I don’t think it’s bad thing. 30 is fine for me. I can appreciate a game that runs at 60 but I really have no preference. I’m a guy that grew up on N64, PS1, PS2. I can still go back and play those consoles today. I’ll just never get how a frame rate ruins a game for some people. If I’m having fun playing the game, if it’s single player and has a good story, I don’t care how it runs or looks graphically. That has never mattered to me.😊

What's absolutely hilarious is even if it does drop down to 30 frames you're not going to know unless you have the frame counter up.

I'd rather not play at all than play at 30 or less

most Nintendo switch games are locked on 30fps and I think it’s fine

As a console player, I prefer higher visual fidelity at the cost of FPS on single players games. Mutiplayer, minimum of 60 is necessary IMO. On my Series X with my LG OLED I play Warzone at 120fps and its very enjoyable!

y'all Really complaining on 30 fps?? 💀

As long as you're enjoying the game I think that's all that matters.

While trying it for myself on pc, I noticed that using an fps limiter to cap at 30 rather than using half refresh rate in control panel, is considerably more responsive.

the thing is, if you're already used with more higher fps like 60 or even 120++

Most important thing is to allow your eyes time to adjust when locking the framerate lower. The immediate effect is a shock to the system, but after about 30 minutes of playing I perceive it as smoother. It certainly helps as a fallback when games are poorly optimized. Same thing happens with 60fps if I've been playing a game at 120. I go back and it suddenly looks framey until I give it some time.

When i was about 14-16 years old. All i cared about was getting top frames without dropping at highest resolutions. As i grew older i realized allc that mindset was doing was tarnishing my love for actually focusing on playing and enjoying games. I would awlays spend money on upgrades I didnt need and tell myself i needed them. It was reallt bad, and then I grew up even more. Im 24 now and dince 18 years old ive been playing half my games at 30fps locked ultra and its fantastic. I dont know how the younger me couldnt handle the lower framerates. But its really not even inching close to how bad people make it out to be. It was weird for the first 3 days of playing 30fps adter playing at 144hz, then my eyes adjusted and now to me 30 and 60 are the best of both worlds. 60 now looks like how 144 did years ago for me. And 30 is well, 30... its noticable but beyond enjoyable and beyond playable.

I think if you're playing a more story driven game on a controller, 30 FPS is tolerable. But in any competitive game, I believe it isn't enough. Great video as always mate!

Should have used rtss with passive wait turned off and possibly front edge sync for better frame pacing

I have the impression that limiting frames in the game settings are always the best. If it is not comfortable, limiting through the drive might be better for 40 fps or something a little bit higher

You need to use Riva Turner RTSS to cap the FPS so those Frametimes are locked. Next you want a Variable Refresh Rate monitor set at 120hz for the best input. The reality is on ps5 on a 120hz display the games will be running at 40 not 30. 144hz set FPS to 36.
