- 60fps is smooth enough

- that feeling of smoothness is even more enhanced when you watch low fps stuff like movies, and series, many YT videos, or just from time to time games which are 30fps

- anything above 60fps is noticeably smoother, but that extra smoothness also ruins standard framerate in games

- 60fps as ideal standard for most people makes you more connected to your fellow gamers

- most people in the world will rarely, if ever, experience more than 60fps

- more fps requires more power, which means more money

- it's just a game; Metal Gear Solid, many Final Fantasy titles, Silent Hills (plural, not Kojima's thing), Pokemon, etc. are some of the most beloved titles in history of gaming, and they ran at 30fps, or lower

- fast paced multiplayer games suck anyway

- in life you learn that it is often necessary to lower your standards for happiness

You say some dumb stuff man.

 

[Swift_Star]

120Hz is where is at since it evens with 24, 30 and 60.

 

[01011001]

if you watch movies/TV shows, wouldn't 72hz be the more logical refresh? as that divides evenly into 24 fps?

120Hz is where is at since it evens with 24, 30 and 60.

also this


also also:

with these you can adjust your refresh literally on a game by game basis by just locking to whatever you want your FPS to be
and which 144hz monitor doesn't have VRR?

I usually run either unlocked or lock to half refresh (72fps) in games.

Why should you limit them?

No, for movies, or any 23.976fps stuff I change refresh rate to 47.952Hz (in some cases to 59.940Hz, it depends on the video).

Some people like to be kicked in the balls. There's a whole category of porn dedicated to this. We're all different. OP likes bruised balls - so what?

 

[01011001]

No, for movies, or any 23.976fps stuff I change refresh rate to 47.952Hz (in some cases to 59.940Hz, it depends on the video).

you could just lock to 119.880 on your desktop and change the refresh in-game on a game by game basis. that way every video you play would divide perfectly into your refresh and your games can be whatever you like... I am confused lol

you don't have to run a game at 120hz just because your monitor is set to that under windows you know?

 

[Ebidramon]

Butwhy.gif

Why should you limit them?

Because 60fps doesn't make me update my PC every 2-3 years.

 

[Kacho]

The stuff in the OP makes no sense.

 

[octiny]

 

[LazyParrot]

I'd still use a 100+ Hz monitor even if I wasn't gaming at all. The added smoothness on the desktop is worth it.

That's some deep shit homie

agree, it feels super weird and sluggish to move a mouse at 60hz when you are used to a 144hz monitor for several years lol

You know, GAF, there are days where I have a pretty low opinion of myself. I think I'm not smart enough, haven't accomplished enough, or I'm just not ambitious enough. Basically, myself, such that I am, am not simply not good enough. Then I read OPs like this, and it reminds me that in the grand scheme of things, I'm still relatively intelligent, relatively well adjusted, and haven't suffered serious head trauma. Sure, I'm not the best at anything, but I am actually still doing ok. And that makes me feel a lot better. Thanks OP.

60HZ peasant step into the 240HZ world and rethink your actions

what the fuck is going on in this thread

Edit: re-read the whole thing again. Again, what in the fucks??

Basically, I am fine with standard 60fps in games, and that framerate doesn't require that I buy stronger PC components as often for higher framerates.

 

[iHaunter]

But 144hz is so much smoother, I don't understand.

 

[GHG]

Because 60fps doesn't make me update my PC every 2-3 years.

1. Stop making stupid threads
2. Work harder

And then you will be able to afford to upgrade your PC every couple of years without it being a burden, that way you won't need to arbitrarily limit yourself or "lower your standards" as you put it.

 

[TLZ]

You say some dumb stuff man.

It's the reefer.

 

[nikos]

This has to be bait.

 

[Strider Highwind]

It's the reefer.

The responses in this thread got me rolling

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

Completely agree with OP; I'll only jump to 60+ FPS when it becomes the standard on consoles. The difference felt when coming back to 60 after enjoying 120 is very jarring.

 

[Strider Highwind]

That's some deep shit homie

Well, at the very least you understood what I was talking about.

Still, I don't want to spend more than 100 euro for gaming per decade; since I have more important things in life.

Is this for games and hardware together? Wait where do you live? It's hard to imagine being able to do much with a 100 euros but maybe with regional pricing and playing very few games.

but that still doesn't really make it a good idea to lock your refresh to 60hz... 120hz would be perfect for every video format and would feel smooth on the desktop, while almost any game out there has an option to lock the framerate to either predetermined settings like 30, 60, 120, 144fps or to half/quarter refresh meaning locking your Monitor to 60 doesn't really help at all and all it does is give you limited option while being in an options menu of a DX12 game or any game that does not support exclusive fullscreen

I live in Germany, and for the time being, I'm not poor.

It's just that gaming is low on my list of priorities in life, that I want to pay for it as much as possible.

 

[StateofMajora]

That is just stupid. Should limit it to 120hz not all the way down to 60. Just… wtf.

 

[Edgelord79]

"Why I'm going to play on medium settings from now on, even if I have a 3090."

 

[YCoCg]

At the very damn least set it to 120Hz and lock games to 60fps, otherwise you're literally pissing away lower latency.

[Graciaus]

I do limit to 60 hz but only because I get distorted sound if I go above. Have yet to find a solution.

 

[Dream-Knife]

Unless you play competitive FPS with a mouse it honestly doesn't matter. I notice a difference playing MH rise on PC at 1440p 170fps vs 540p 30fps on switch, but that's an extreme example. 3rd person single player games I'm fine with 60.

I do notice I drive better in Forza at 170fps vs 60 on my TV though.
