Increased graphic intensity

[LalaRu]

I usually run everything at 30fps, but latest content starts been taxing for my gpu and latest fights drops my fps to 20 or even lower.

Isn't that we can keep same old pc forever, I know, but not everyone is lucky enough to own a monster rig running 4k 120fps with everything maxed out.

But not complain much, I just got the feeling the upcoming 5.0 will be the time for a good amount of people to ugrade their gaming pc. Start saving now.

Human eye can't see above 24fps anyway.

This is a myth, the nerves in your eyes fire off much faster than that, upwards of 1/220th of a second. Air force pilots have been tested at that rate. I myself notice a HUGE difference between 40 FPS and 6 FPS. It also depends on the type of screen your looking at, 24 FPS on a movie screen vs 60 FPS on an LED screen are 2 entirely different things.

We do. I just got a new computer so it's running 58-60 FPS regularly. Then one afternoon things started feeling a little weird visually while I was in the yard at my house. I checked and my FPS was bouncing around between 45-48.

Suspect the assumption that we can't notice differences beyond that number came from back when technology couldn't reliably push FPS past that number.

Eyes do not work like that, the difference between 30/60 FPS is noticeable, no one would give a shit if it wasn't, the difference it makes to the experience varies from person to person, but don't pretend no one notices the difference, your eyes can definitely tell.

That's a load of crock. I can easily tell the difference between 24 and 60 FPS.

Now, once you get past 60.... there's diminishing returns, until about 80 or so I can't really tell the difference, but some people claim they can.

Also, lower FPS = input lag. A game running at 24FPS vs a game running at 60FPS vs a game running at 100+ FPS, there's going to be a noticeable difference in the responsiveness of controls.

Sorry wrong.

Your eyes don't see in FPS 1st of all.
secondly get a 144 hz display and force refresh at 24 29.97 60 120 144. I will admit the difference between 60 and 120 is less then 29.97 to 60 and 120 to 144 is almost not noticable.
But you can really see a difference in 30 to 60.

@ DuskTS if you play on PC hit the magic 60 FPS ie lower res or graphic settings
Then limit FPS in graphic setting to 30 fps and if you don't see a difference in smoothness you should maybe see a doctor.

The 24 and 29.97 where flim standards where it was the minium to see smooth movement to cut cost on productions. Think 1960 where TV was new and everything cost a lot more then it does now to just flim something on film!

I can't remember the numbers but lets say to film a 1 hour move you need $240 of film @ 24 FPS vs $600 @ 60 FPS What would you do?

EDIT: Post the specs of your computer if it's not a laptop maybe the community could recommend a upgrade vs replacing the whole computer and give you better game play.

Thats the beauty of a PC though - you dont need to buy a whole new maschine, just changing some parts might be enough!

...but yeah, that can be an expensive surprise aswell - my gpu broke a few years ago, I got a new one for about 300€ and my game has been running fine ever since!

I bought a geforce 1080 gtx ftw a few days ago and my framerate went from around 25fps in most Stormblood areas to well over 60fps. I noticed the difference immediately.

The best part of PC is you can swap out individual parts and plug in some extra ram. You don't need dedicated gaming equipment if your not a competitive gamer, a lot of standard gear will do the trick.

GPUs are falling in price since the crypto currency crash and since the new 2k series are on the horizon. But the best thing you can do is to take your time and look around. When I built my gaming rig I only bought the pieces when they were on sale, which happens quite frequently. Just keep an eye on local shops and sites like amazon and newegg. I build a rig for $1700 that would have been well over $2500 at normal price.

Just never, and this should go without saying, buy used parts. Esp GPU, as crypto currency miners burn em out en masse then resell them to get some money back.

Another lala spreading falsehoods. This is why we cannot trust the potatoes lol
