Games generally support >30fps framerates on the PC, even if the console versions are capped at 30fps. In fact, I couldn't even tell you the last time 2K published a game that was capped to 30fps across all platforms -- even the yearly NBA games support 60fps or greater.

2K, really. I even preordered this, fml.
When and where will it be unlocked for first? I hope for a d1 patch

It's hard to believe because it's basically sales suicide on PC.

Forza Horizon 3
It lets you try to run higher than 30fps, but it's clearly meant to be locked at 30.

Actually a AAA pc game locked to 30 fps is a pretty big surprise. Incredibly dissapointing.

Haven't they patched that out in the latest update?
Even if it's true, it's obviously not the norm for AAA games.
Need for Speed? Maybe something after that too.
Well 2K have 14 days to resolve the situation, unless a different game tempts me before that and I decide to bit anyway. Such a shame as I am a big fan of Mafia 1 and 2, but mouse look is essential to how I wanted to play. I'd rather play other things and wait to see if a solution arises rather than pay full price for what I consider fundamentally flawed
Gucci hat.

No, Forza Horizon 3 is never going to be fixed. Its performance problems above 30fps are by design.

Are the drivers for the game by AMD or NVIDIA out yet? Wonder if something like that could fix it.

It will be fixed faster when you cancel your pre-order to teach them a lesson.
So what you are saying is that it's 3000USD cap?
Yes they are.

Actually it is getting fixed to stop the stuttering at high or unlocked framerates.

Well that's disappointing coming from a western AAA developer in 2016.

Well, I guess this ends any hope I had of this being another surprise Physx showcase like Mafia 2, lol.

Actually, the patch came out on Tuesday and it made a lot of people's game run even worse. Myself included.

Interesting.
I would be totally disappointed at PCGamer if they couldn't come up with simple .ini tweak before releasing the article for public.
and with said ini tweak the entire games physics and such goes to shit.
You wait for it :3

If it was as simple as "Max_FPS=30" then I'd assume PC Gamer would have noticed, but who knows.

Ah, I see now, looking it up on NVIDIA's site. Geforce Experience wasn't finding a new update. As someone who was going to play the game at 30fps, I'm still bummed that I can't jack the settings and see how close to 60 I could get.

Are you in the PC performance thread? It hasn't been fixed. That article is about a patch that came out a couple days ago.

Yeah, I can get by, especially when sitting a bit away from the screen. At the end of the day it comes down to what you're used to, 30FPS is fine for people who mostly play at 30FPS, but once you get used to 60FPS, and more recently, 120, 144 or 165FPS, it's hard to go back.

The patch is already out and did.....nothing.
Whatttttt? Holy shit they just tanked the PC version. No reviews then this pops up literally the day before release? Damn that's shady as fuck.

Well that sucks to hear
Yeah, wondering about this too...

Probably a design choice. Why bother about 60 fps if PS4 and Xbox One can only run the game at 30 fps?
But still lame.
But still lame.
I'm pretty sure PCGamer would have looked into this before posting the statement so don't bother looking and wasting time
This is ridiculous and you know it. Locked 30 games on PC are extremely rare and always have an insane negative reaction.Probably a design choice. Why bother about 60 fps if PS4 and Xbox One can only run the game at 30 fps?
But still lame.

What? Tons of games that are 30 on console are unlocked on pc and even support higher than 60 in most cases.Probably a design choice. Why bother about 60 fps if PS4 and Xbox One can only run the game at 30 fps?
But still lame.

The fuck, how did we not know this sooner? Has no one had a chance to play it on pc at all?
3.0 never finds updates for me, always have to do it manually.
