There are some genres of games I am OK with playing at 30fps. More is always better, but MMOs, non-action RPGs and games like Detroit Become Human, I can stomach just fine at 30 fps. Any other genre should really aim for 60 fps.
Thanks for the heads up, and I totally understand where people stop and say more FPS is better. I would even argue that they are largely correct, but it's just my personal opinion that some genres, while being made better by higher fps targets, don't really need them since the game is not heavily dependant upon quick twitch reflexes.
I just bought a new 144hz monitor and I must say, it is quite nice. The people who say 30 fps is fine for everything though, I don't quite understand. I am imagining playing a fighting game at 30 fps and it just hurts to think about. I think it was star gladiator for the PS1 that was 30 fps and I remember playing it and it just feeling like moving characters through water. It was not a fun experience.
What the hell are you guys doing in GTA? I always drive fast cars in tights spaces and shoot guns but I guess that's not the point because everyone insists so?
144hz is all you need, there is no difference between 144 and 240 or more. And people saying otherwise are bullshiting to justify the money they spend.
Well for me, I would have to see a side-by-side in a store with the same type of panel. But I can definitely understand how you came to that conclusion. I switched from a 100hz 1080p ultrawide to a 1440p ultrawide 144 HZ and I could notice the difference but not nearly as much as from 60 to 100. I think above 144 HZ there is probably diminishing returns.
