Thirty frames per second is depressing. I don't know how some people can stand it. I get annoyed when I notice the frames drop below forty five.

- jlgreco 14y agoI suspect it matters less on consoles where you are trying to move/look around by pushing a tiny little joystick with your thumb. With a mouse though it is absolutely crippling. Even minecraft is painful at 30Hz with a mouse.
- HelloMcFly 14y ago"Crippling" seems a bit hyperbolic. I'd reckon most PC gamers probably don't even notice, though once you start noticing it's hard to "unsee" it, but that doesn't make the game unplayable.
- Torn 14y agoIf any of you have Dark Souls on PC, with a decent graphics card, use the 'dsfix' mod to toggle between 30fps (the default) and an unlocked 60fps mode. It's night and day - suddenly the game becomes that much more fluid, and when toggling between the two, 30fps feels amazingly 'shuttered'.
- jlgreco 14y agoIt to me is crippling to the point that I will stop playing the game. I used to play quake 3, particularly defrag, at 125Hz. 60Hz in normal games is fine to me but anything less feels like a nightmare where your legs turned into concrete and you can't turn your neck. It very honestly is an unpleasant experience to me.
- jetti 14y agoI would play Diablo 3 on my laptop and desktop and would get around 10 to 20 FPS if I was lucky. So all this talk of 30 FPS is making me jealous!
- eru 14y agoThose people were talking about FPS games. Diablo's point-and-click interface is not as immediate and while it does benefit from going beyond 10 FPS, you won't see too much of a difference from 30 to 60 FPS.
