do you prefer 30 FPS over 60 FPS?

Oh hell no.

60 obviously is better. Personally, while I prefer 60, I mainly just care about a stable frame rate.

60fps all the way. I'm cool with 30fps as long as it's stable for both fps.

Voted "yes" because this is nothing then ego stroking for some

Prefer 60 but am fine with 30. Difference is huge though and 60 fps enhances the experience by a lot

Wow... This thread exists?... F*** me gamers your standards are the reason why developers do what they do and get away with it.

"I rike 30FPS and erm sometimes I don't care if my game is brokun becus the developur will be da fixing it so no one should being angry."

You would have to be there sitting right next to me when a game is running at 30 or at 60 because I swear I can´t see the difference.

Only a console exclusive gamer would say they prefer 30fps over 60fps.

I game on consoles and PC and 60 fps is always preferred to 30 fps. Demon's Souls would've been so much better running at 60 fps on PS3.

More frames is always better but I admit that at some point, the difference is not noticeable by the eyes. I never did the complete test to find out what is the real difference between 30 and 60 but I'm sure it's better for now. Maybe someday, I'd be able to really know how much it's different. When I know the difference between 20 and 30, I'm sure 30 and 60 could have a difference too.

Also, better fps can mean that you system will last longer. So more fps is always better for this reason too.

When I know the popularity of motion blur, the popularity I estimate from the games that own the option and me that have use it and like it in the past, I wonder if your cinematic thing could not be real.

Is this a trick question?

Next you be asking if people prefer frame stutter.

What a stupid question.

High framerate is always better. That is not up for debate. People accept lower framerates because that's what they are given. Nobody would willingly ask for a lower framerate.

Of course not

But at the same time, I'm not aligned with the group of PC gamers who pretend as if 30 fps is unplayable.

If you can't tell the difference between 30, 60, and 144 FPS you need to get your vision checked

A higher framerate is always, always better and a game's experience is negatively affected by lower framerates. 30 FPS isn't unplayable but it isn't enjoyable

Its really easy to tell if you're playing in 30fps or 60fps. I never played a game above 60fps before.

Depends on the game. Something like an FPS i prefer 60, while something like evil within i like 30.

Provided you have a monitor with a high enough refresh rate it's just stunning. Once you get used to 144 FPS, 60 FPS feels so slow and stuttery in comparison. FPS games in particular benefit immensely from higher framerates (144hz monitors are pretty much mandatory if you want to get really good at CS:GO)

Do you prefer 10 dollars over 100 dollars ?

Same here. I'm having a blast with TW3 and my framerates average 35-45 fps.

After playing Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, I have never looked back at 30 fps as a preference.

Todays releases don't have gameplay so I tend to run the hdmi through a converter to the tv so I can get true 24hz just like bluray.

preferable during cutscenes

30fps isn't even cinematic though. It still looks different compared to 23.97/24.

Also, stable frame > volatile, so while I generally prefer more frames than less, I would prefer a consistent 30fps over a wildly fluctuating average of 60fps.

Sometimes slow moving games like a silent hill works great at 30 fps. Feels like a movie.

No but I'm willing to sacrifice 60fps for a game that strives for a high graphical fidelity or huge scale.

There are also many games which are rock solid at 60 fps. I rather have a solid 60 fps than a solid 30 fps.

30 fps is my threshold where I wouldn't have too many complaints. But, more is always welcome.

just lower the settings to 720p 60 fps for consoles games,i stopped buying consoles because developpers are just trying to squeeze out maximum graphics for a platform that shouldnt even bother anymore an unstable 30 fps isnt playable for me anymore

Of course I prefer 60FPS, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

@princeofshapeir: I can't tell the difference because I have no idea how 30 or 60 looks like or it's supposed to look like.

60 FPS over 30 FPS is not even a question. Come on SW...Anyone Anti-PC would fight it though.

Elitist!

120 fps is where it is at anyway because it's a nicer number in my opinion (60x2, or 30x4)

Anyway...most console games aren't 30 fps, they just have an average around that.

Some people feel that 30 is ok or playable because they're used to it, I get that, but why would anybody ever prefer it?

Would you rather drive a Ferrari or a ford focus ?

Is this thread a joke?

dont care.....fps i prefer 60 if not oh well

only in racing games do i care about 60

Prefer? No.

But it's fine with me if it's stable. Destiny is fun at 30fps.

Batman AK is fun at 30fps.

I don't NEED 60fps....but I like to have it.

WTF? Someone actually voted yes? LMAO

Nope. There are peasants out there who actually believe 30 FPS is better because it's closer to 24 FPS which is the standard for movies.

In 3 years time an affordable PC can do 2k at 144fps I hope.
My current PC can't. But all I'd need is a GPU so I might go for one next year to have a really cool VR experience. Maybe VR Star Citizen :D
Also what's with GS adding linebreaks to my posts whenever I edit/quote :(

Duh.

I'm happy with 30fps and better graphics. 60fps means sacrifices have to be made somewhere. But if I had the choice top graphics and 60fps would obviously be best.

@speak_low:

It's impressive how you can turn any subject into Nintendo salt.

Here we go. World War II. Choose any battle and tell me how it relates to Nintendo sucking. Go!

30 gives me a headache, 60 is the target, 144 is the ultimate goal

Of course not, but i do prefer 1080p30 over 720/900p60.

even cinematic games look more cinematic at 60fps. Just look at Last of Us on PS4.

Hell no, 60 all the way, the higher the better.
