Is it normal to feel bothered when FPS dips?

mikedrewsmy

Previously played console games 1080@ 60fps or lower and i'm fine.

Now playing at 1440p/4k seeing some games dip below 100fps and I was bothered.

 

Is this a normal?

What do you mean by "insecurity"? Are you afraid to tell your friends about this tragedy because you think they might exile you, or do you just want to have your hardware running at its maximum potential?

 Yikes. Sorry if my English is bad as i'm still learning it.

What i meant to say is "Is it normal to feel bothered when the fps drops below 100fps when playing games on PC".

Nah you're fine. I don't think most people feel bothered by it, but you could always overclock your hardware or lower the game's graphics settings if you feel like you need to.

Turn off fps counters, or run a phase change 5.5ghz 8086K with 3600mhz low timing B-die memory.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Meanwhile I'm worried about which settings I have to change to maintain 40 fps.

Inside some old case I found lying around.

Cap the frame or get Gsync/Freesync.

welp it's like my friend said, once you go 120, u cant go back, he even alerted me to how 60hz monitor has massive lag when u scroll down, or when i watched the candles in witcher 3 moving horizontally on 60hz.

 

I'd say it's normal.

 

Freaking builds just goes from 1200usd to 1800usd to 3k to 4k over the years.

Meanwhile mine went from 1000 usd to more than 4000 usd in about 1 month plus.
And thanks for understanding.
I don't really get this mentality that i currently have.
Back when i play consoles, everything looks fine.

Now with just some fps drops (that's even way above 60fps norm), I would actually got bothered.

Even with really good hardware dips can happen and those of us that aren't blessed with gsync monitors hurt :(

most games are badly optimized so FPS dips often occur in more demanding scenes.

you should cap FPS, otherwise GPU will be 100% all the time for max fps

I feel bothered with fps dips. I think it's pretty normal since it's like a small stutter.
