As with PS4 Pro, priorities have come in this order:

1. Resolution

2. FPS

3. Wankathon effects

Instead of which, their priorities should be put in this order:

I'm sure most here would prefer 1080p 60 fps over 4k sub-30 fps. If only the developers were paying attention to what gamers want, not what they themselves want.

The reality is that it is always a tradeoff for game devs, regardless of how power the PC/console is.

Some games don't need 60fps, even though they could hit that target. A game like Last of Us chooses 30fps because it is more story driven than a twitch shooter. So they prioritise eye candy over fps. For a fighting, driving or CoD style game 60fps makes more sense as nano-seconds count.

That said, there's nothing more off-putting than a fast action scene with a significant frame rate drop. With today's tech, it should be a thing of the past. A simple way to preclude this happening, reduce the resolution, but if necessary reduce the texture detail. Furthermore, wankathon effects like lighting, shadows, fog should only ever be minimized to reduce both cpu and gpu load.
