More fps or more resolution?

[lior1111]

I can either play 30 fps 1080p or 1024x768 (i know...) 60fps.

I can also play 720p at like 50 fps min,65 max

What would you choose?

(the game is rainbow six siege by the way)

[Whorax]

Both would be uncomfortable to look at imo, but the lesser of the two discomforts would probably be 30 1080.

[FloRolf]

ugh, can you not tweak some settings and get like 45fps on 1080p?

[amas]

If it's comfortably at 30fps then that's fine. If it dips, I would go to a lower reso.

[vanished]

bare minimum is 60 fps at whatever your monitor's native resolution is.

[Gale]

Play at whatever the native resolution of your monitor is.

So many Native-Natives saying go Native

Who says he has to... he's after better performance, not lower.

 

720p/50 would be a nice sweet spot.

A little blurry in comparison to 1080p, but lower input latency compared to 1080p/30

It's a shooter, so more FPS than 30 would be ideal (for me)

[LabRat]

i've played at 720p. I select that res over the shit frames.

[MilkJugg24]

720p no contest. I can't stand not having a decent field of view. I'm not claustrophobic, but playing in 4:3 resolution definately makes me feel like I am.

Hey, I stand by my comment.  If you cant achieve 60 fps at native resolution, and settings are already at minimum, you have two options: upgrade your GPU or don't play the game.  There are things I'll adjust but some lines I just won't cross

720p 50ish FPS is ok. 1024x768 just looks awful.

Why care what we think? Try both for yourself and use what you like best. F our opinions on this matter. Im not the one playing the game, you are

[EChondo]

For me, I will lower all the settings until I get 60fps constant, if that doesn't work I go look for fixes because a i7/390 combo should be able to get 60fps constant on nearly all games at 1080p on the lowest settings, if not it's probably a crap port and requires 3rd party tweaking.

 

The only games I can play at lower than 60fps are MMO's, probably because overhead/3rd person camera instead of a FPS.

[exercutor5]

Have you tried 1366 x 768?

Youre probably right.. Its just that right now im playing on 1024x768 and i feel that im gonna need binoculars just to see something.. I have an gtx 745 and im saving money for an r9 390 but its not going to be so soon.. Thought about getting a 960 but its just not strong enough.. I wanna feel like a badass just for once even if it will last one year, just to feel how it is to run games at highest of the highest settings..

For now im trying to find a sweetspot with my crappy card.. Id better put a piece of wood instead of the 745.. It will run games better for sure

I don't play high speed fps games, I spend hours on end just driving around in JC2(and now 3) or playing KSP for example, so the aliasing hurts me to look at more than lower frame-rates.

But, when playing in a LAN with friends I'll turn down all the settings and up the FOV to what would normally be too ugly for me, just to get the extra frames for accurate mouse movement and reactions. (but there is always that one guy in COD2 who throws 50 mother f'ing smoke bombs and slows our craptops (school recommended netbooks) to 2 fps).

Well im an fps guy.. I play guildwars 2 from time to time which is not hard to run at highest settings..

Then do what you can to make it look good for you. There will always be trade offs but you have to work out what is worth it personaly.

[Kiyuubi]

Always play at native resolution and just adjust the settings so you get a comfortable fps.

Do you mean r9 390? What 390 are you talkin about?

[EChondo]

Yeah R9 390, picked up a Nitro about two months ago!

You should be able to run at 60fps highest settings man!
