| Shadow1980 said: @ConsoleWarVet While I'd argue that most games do benefit from 60 fps (though some are fine at 30 depending on genre), I do agree that, just like resolution, there is diminishing returns for frame rates. Like, I've played Halo Infinite in both 60 fps and 120 fps modes (and my TV does support that and made sure the settings were right) and I honestly couldn't tell much a difference. But I could always notice a leap going from clunky games like Perfect Dark on the N64 to a steady 30 fps with Halo CE to the 60 fps of most modern action games. I do also agree that maintaining a steady frame rate is very important regardless of what the target frame rate is. |
One interesting factor might also be whether the viewing distance and control method matter. Up close with a mouse might feel different than from a longer distance with an analog stick. I'm thinking more rapid and quicker movements are possible/easier with a mouse, so the extra responsiveness might be easier to feel with a mouse. And if you're looking from a closer distance, it might also be easier to see. I'm not sure if either point is true, but to me they seem like reasonable ideas to consider at least.
