Fps vs detail

[giullep]

How many fps are the target to play…i get 60 fps with my 3080..i would put more details, effects, shadows to have better visual and until how many fps is good to play? I would gave the best visual wirh a good fps… Any suggest? Thx

30 is "minimum for a decent experience", 60 is the gold standard. More than 60 begins to noticeably improve smoothness and reduce screen tearing when combined with a high refresh rate monitor up to 120/144ish. Once you start crossing that line it becomes completely irrelevant in 99.9% of contexts. Unless you're doing VR, in which case every frame counts.

 

In a flight sim, that's less "millisecond reaction time" dependent, anything 30-45fps will usually be fine in 2d, but again, ideally you want 60ish as it's noticeably smoother.

It´s really a matter of personal preference. Some people are more than happy with 30fps, some people can´t live with anything below 60. The best way is to experiment and make up your own mind. When you ask, you will no doubt get all sorts of various answers based on peoples personal comfort choices. It´s also best to try not to stare the fps counter religiously, instead of focusing how the game feels to play. I fail at this miserably.

Personally.. I try to keep things running above 60fps, i couldn´t enjoy VR and the one thing i can´t live without is g-sync..

I have a 3080 too. I lock fps at 70fps and have never seen it dip below with all settings at max. Including shadows.

I get away with it by using TR5 and a 1440 monitor. It looks as good as I expect or want.
