  • How much FPS do you actually need? That's the question us PC Gamers ask, especially when looking to buy a new GPU and trying to justify buying the more expensive one... So I put that to the test!

    I'm over 50 so I've been gaming since it started. It's extremely funny and amusing to me to see friends and very old TH-camrs saying how they can't live without 144 fps when just a few years ago they were going apeshit over 75hz monitors, calling it "buttery smooth gameplay" and anything beyond that you'd never need because you'd never know the difference. LMFAO!

      the human eye can actually perceive it, and it's more like a matter of taste. we see things at 576 megapixels. compare it to the camera on your phone and you'll realize that this is quite a lot. so yeah, we don't *need* it (at 30 fps is good enough for me when I don't have anything better), but if possible to get more, then why shouldn't we?

      Yeah, but what is the point? Technology is advancing. When i was young i was raving about the 3 MHZ advantage of my Mega Drive / Genesis over the SNES. It was always relative and will be relative in future too. In 20 years we will laugh about current technology..

      So true like if you can play games on a 1080 p and they run good with like let’s say a steady 70 fps I’m fine with that that’s amazing still and so clear but I’m older and came from ps1 days so all this is crazy to me cool yea and I get it but people overthink this stuff you don’t need 4k to enjoy a game

  • @attackLive
    @attackLive 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    120fps at 1440p is the sweetspot. 4k adds too much input delay. 144fps is a nice extra.

  • @Xaltar_
    @Xaltar_ 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    To me at least this has always been a simple thing to work out:
    30fps - Single Player, story driven or strategy titles (casual gaming)
    60fps - Single Player FPS and driving/flying sims, Multiplayer strategy (LoL etc)
    100fps+ - Multiplayer where response time actually matters
    Even an RX 470 will allow you to hit all these FPS ranges @1080p and even 1440p with properly adjusted settings. For a story focused game (like single player RPGs etc) set your details as high as you can while retaining a 30fps average and no lower than 25fps minimums (1% lows, lower 0.1% lows are fine). Repeat for 60fps on appropriate titles then drop everything to low on multiplayer FPS and bump up settings until you start seeing more significant FPS drops. Don't be afraid to experiment with settings, often times a single setting could have a huge performance hit while others have little to none at all. One low setting with the rest high can often result in identical or even better performance than a game's default medium setting. Shadows, lighting, Ambient Occlusion (AO), foliage density, mesh complexity, view distance, these are settings that very often hit the FPS hard depending on engine optimizations. Texture quality for example can often be set to high with all other settings low and yield a huge visual uplift at minimal FPS cost provided you have the VRAM for it. On a 4gb GPU you can typically get away with high texture quality, if not ultra.
    A competitive gamer doesn't need anything more than a GTX 1660 or RX 580 to be competitive, the only reason to spend more (in 2019) is if you game at high resolutions, play for a league professionally (in which case you would have sponsorship and gear) or are trying to show off how much money you spent on your system. I have a friend that slays in PUBG (casual) and his big secret is that he plays on the lowest settings possible even though his system can handle high easily. It is so much easier to spot opponents with low ground clutter and foliage.
    TLDR: You don't need to spend a fortune on a GPU to have a great gaming experience, tailor your system to the type of games you like to play and adjust your settings to provide you with maximum enjoyment.

    • @endlessbliss307

      I don’t know I’ve played competitively at 10-30 fps before. A little difficult and hard to get used to but it’s possible to play at 6-20 fps. Depends on the game though. Games such as The Isle can easily be ran at 20 fps and have the same combat experience as somebody with 60+ fps.

  • @JewelRocks123

    sorry for being a noob here but I see you using the terms 60fps and 60hz interchangeably. Is refresh rate and frame rate the same? plz clarify, I'm confused 😅

    • @hermit1255
      @hermit1255 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No they are not the same thing. Put simply, Fps is "frames per second." This is how many frames your system is sending to the screen per second. Hz is the screens refresh rate, so how many frames per second it can actually display. You really want your screens refresh rate to at least match your systems fps, this helps prevent issues like screen tearing. This is what v sync on game menus aims to do.

    The persute of ever higher fps is a mugs game (and likley a marketing ploy). The difference from 30-60 is noticeable, but say 45-60 not so much, both run smooth. Anything beyond 60 really isnt meaningfully noticable. The main place its an issue is in your own head when you know your system can do more, you push ever higher, but the actual visual difference is practically indiscernible. Same applys for refresh rates on monitors, its mostly a marketing play to keep selling you an over inflated product.
