What do you guys consider unplayable fps and ping

[Ankh Tech]

Title asks it, I wanted to see other people's opinion, cause i've been gaming on a chromebook with an intel celeron n3350 (2 cores) I live in kuwait but when I play shellshock (don't judge, nothing else to play, this is chrome os)on us west servers, i get steady 50 fps, high res off, shadows off, and steady 20 - 30 with both on and 300 ping, and some of you hate that, but I find it very playable, so what are your thoughts?

Stable 20FPS > stuttery 60FPS

[CommanderAlex]

When you have a lot of stuttering at high refresh rates(Come join us Battlefield 4)....then for me, the game is unplayable. If my ping is over 100ms or the game tells me I have bad connection to the server and encounter rubber banding issues, then the game is unplayable. 

[Tristerin]

under 60 FPS. I can literally feel it

I can game on 300 ping no problem, what is it with you people, well maybe when I start getting better games and find middle east servers and come back it will be unplayable

[Stahlmann]

Depends on what i play. For singleplayer games i'd consider 60 fps min as playable. For multiplayer games or shooters i'd want 90-100 fps minimum. Ping really depends from game to game. Normally I'd say anything under 100ms is fine. With anything above you start to notice other players having an advantage.

Sorry but uh...I have high standards??? I mean sometimes in games, my ping will peak into the 100s but as long as there is no issues with packet loss, then I'll manage with the game. Packet loss is something I can't stand for in games, especially first-person shooters.

I don't have low standards, I just never played a game under 100ms ping and above 100fps, (no pc), to set that as a standard

59 FPS

The only game I play where FPS matter is Minecraft.

I get 60 FPS minimum without a lot of entities.

Once there are lots of entities, my 650 Ti Boost begins to struggle and it slows down to ~10.

/kill @a fixes that though.

 

Ping?

For Among Us, any ping below 150 ms is fine.

Above, and I get kicked. 

[Vishera]

I have always found 45 FPS and higher playable,anything below that is a nope for me.

As for ping  100~140 is where it starts to feel unplayable for me.

Is it an Asus V400C?

I had a V400C. It had a Core i3-2365M and a broken network card and Ethernet jack.

I had to hold in the cable...

[Yo soy Jack]

I’d say for an first person shooter 100 FPS or above is the best, 60 fps minimum, 100 ping maximum, but for a single player game like ms flight sim, then 30 FPS is aight.

When I first got a HP desktop with an AMD APU installed... I thought 20fps was playable on World of Tanks at the time as that was my main game...I was young at the time around 13-14 years old. Plopping in a graphics card fixed that (R9 270X). I think for me, anything above 80 FPS at 1440 resolution with the graphics cranked up a bit is playable.

I'm not sure but I think my screen is 720p, I'll check, an acer r751, intel celeron n3350, intel hd 500, 11.6" touch ips 1366x768, 4gb ram, 32gb storage, usb type-c charging, 2nd usb type-c charging/port, 2x usb 2.0, 1x combine audio/mic, 360 degrees hinge, and chrome os, oh and a stylus that the school took

[sub68]

the FPS is very suggestive 60 is nice 30 is playable

ping 70-100ms is great ping less than 70 is very nice

more than 100-200 umm it gets choppy and glitches happened

2000ms ping is unplayable, true story I was playing ow at my friends and first round was great we won with good ping.

Second round my ping counter goes 2000 and EVERYthing started to glitch and the game basically was impossible to move.

We manege to win that game.

As long as your above 10-20 fps and have consistent frames its playable. As far as ping some will say 50 is unplayable I would say dependeing on the game 150 ping is playable.

[minibois]

steady 30fps is playable, steady 50+ fps is good for me.

I don't have any context for ping, I mostly play single-player games or Minecraft nowadays

[Teddy07]

I can not enjoy anything below 60 fps.

[Morrie Sells Wigs]

It's unplayable when it's unplayable. 

 

30 is considered unacceptable, and I'm sure going back to it will be horrible, but I've played numerous titles at 30 fps with no issues. 

 

The Last of Us 2 on ps4 (pro) was 30 fps and it was incredibly immersive and very playable. 

 

It stays at a rock solid 30, for what it's worth. 

 

[Orange1]

Depends on the game.

lmao i used to play with a laptop with that same processor on an Asus Vivobook 15, Intel Celeron N3350, 4GB RAM with the integrated Intel HD Graphics 500. Here's a list of games i was able to run at 20+FPS smoothly without drops, if youre interested:
 

Spoiler

Far Cry 3 - All Settings Low, Resolution 800x600

Assassins Creed 2 - All Settings Low, 720p

Rocket League - All Settings Low, 1024x768

Call of Duty Black Ops 2, Modern Warfare 3 - All Settings Low, 800x600

answering your question, for shooters and competitive games, 24+fps is fine at any resolution or setting with minimal frame drops. for story based games and stuff, 15 fps is the least i'd take.

 

ping wise, i honestly dont mind a lot of ping, i would be comfortable playing until 100-150 ping depending on the game

[Blademaster91]

I think it depends on the game, but 30fps is enough to be playable, 60fps is much better.

A ping of 100ms or less is what I would consider to be playable, 50 to 80ms ping is better. Packet loss is what makes a game really choppy an unplayable for me.

[Mark Kaine]

Generally : Everything below 60 fps and above 61fps is highly offending to me and I will not play it. 

 

 

Perfection. 

 

Also the lag thing is a misconception, maybe due to the fact of people using dedicated servers, I don't, I mostly play p2p and stability is much more important than latency there, 300ms is "fine". 

 

Source: I only play with Asian players and the latency is about 300ms and "lag" is much better than when I play with people from my region (eu) because their connections are all over the place probably due to poor ISPs and trashy Wi-Fi connections. 

 

 

Tldr: 300ms

30fps

I would agree insofar that this really depends on the monitor, on my laptop 30-35 fps feels "fine" (also depending on the game of course, you cannot comfortably play a fighting game sub 60fps for example, it'll be in slow motion literally lol) and even something like 600 fps doesn't bother me on the laptop, but on my Asus monitor connected to my PC everything but 60fps makes my head hurt and is literally unplayable. 

 

Not sure why there are such big differences, both monitors are ips to begin with...
