30FPS - smooth on consoles but not on PC?

Hi,

 

i once had ps3 and ps4 and used to play games like GTA 5, CoD ghosts...etc on 30FPS gaming was very smooth with no stutters.

 

on PC, gaming on lower than 50s FPS feels sluggish and slow and can be very annoying even on freesync its feels sluggish within freesync range on low fps.

 

what is the reason behind that? why not gaming on 30 or even 50 FPS feels smooth!!

Consoles run an insane amount of motion blurr which for me kills the whole game. On PC is always disable motion blurr and rather lower some settings. 

 

However 50fps should always feel pretty smooth. What hardware config are you running?

I think its more of a frame pacing thing, Example bing that Red Dead 2 is just fine on Xbox One X despite being only 30 fps

It is very dependent on the game.

Forza Horizon 4, both on Windows and Xbox One, looks and feels just fine at 30fps (admittedly, 60 is a bit easier to look at on Windows) but many games don't even bother with proper frame pacing in their half-refresh V-sync options.

Motion blur helps, plus a constant 30fps will look better than going between 30 and 50.

A combination of motion blur and frame pacing, especially the latter. 

 

Forza Horizon 4 at 30FPS even on PC feels remarkably decent thanks to that frame pacing although my eyes have always been spoiled by 60+++FPS.
