Gaming - 60 FPS is Ideal - View Post

So I always game on a laptop, and I always run Skyrim with about 255+ mods, i know the max is 255, I use merged patches to bypass it, and my FPS was 20-30, and I was like its playable.

Then I got a new laptop, and was running the same Skyrim today, and I was like whoa.....

I check my performance monitor, and its 60, and I'm like Jesus this is

 

I mean its not the first time, I've played 60 fps, but damn Skyrim at 60 fps was literally a different game.


Hahah Skyrim was free on Steam this weekend (then £2.49 to buy) so I'm now an owner. But yeah, turns out my PC runs it 60fps rock solid and wow!

However, a bigger thing for me, DIRT 3 has been replaced with DIRT 3 Complete Edition. They've taken the Games for Windows Live nonsense out, added all the previously paid DLC in, and I now get a rock solid 60+fps (I say 60+ because the benchmark tool in the game said I was getting 300fps before, but you could clearly see fluctuations/missed frames) and it is a joy to behold!
