I’m sure some will disagree with this but most PC gamers I talk to want to be at 90FPS minimum. I’d assume if you’re spending $1600+ on a GPU you’re pretty particular about your experience.
- bee_rider 2y agoI’m so glad I grew up in the n64/xbox era. You save so much money if you are happy at 30fps. And the games look really nice.
- marxisttemp 2y agoI wish more games had an option for N64/Xbox-level graphics to maximize frame rate. No eye candy tastes as good as 120Hz feels.
- bee_rider 2y agoI’m sure you could do N64 style graphics at 120Hz on an iGPU with modern hardware, hahaha. I wonder if that would be a good option for competitive shooters. I don’t really mind low frame rates, but latency is often noticeable and annoying. I often wonder if high frame rates are papering over some latency problems in modern engines. Buffering frames or something like that.
- nfriedly 2y agoDoom 2016 at 1080p with a 50% resolution scale (so, really, 540p) can hit 120 FPS on an AMD 8840U. That's what I've been doing on my GPD Win Mini, except that I usually cut the TDP down to 11-13W, where it's hitting more like 90-100 FPS. It looks and feels great!
