40fps should be the absolute bare minimum all games on console should be targeting because 30fps is horrible. While 40fps is still low it makes such an enormous difference to the smoothness of the frame rate.

[@uncleurda8101]

Well, when majority of consumer TVs are still 60hz (and no VRR) and can't display 40 fps properly they're going to keep prioritizing 30fps and maybe a 60 fps performance mode. For now, this kind of thing seems to be an extra effort, but maybe in the near future it becomes the new minimum.

@@uncleurda8101 Sure, but 120hz will only get more common. It'll just make the games age better in let's say, 10 years. As a 120hz panel user, I really enjoy having a 40hz mode in games.

[@richardfranklin6003]

Yes, targeting 40 FPS is better for all consumers, even people with 60hz displays. Why? Because when you target your visuals to achieve 40 FPS, you can have 100% stable locked 30 FPS cap on 60hz displays. And obviously everyone with 120hz screens will benefit from that 40 FPS being displayed 3 times. If you target 30 FPS, you might be tempted to push visuals hard enough that you have too many drops below that.

I have been impressed with 40 fps modes as well. I wasn't expecting it to be much better than 30 fps, but I definitely feel the improved responsiveness over 30 even if it doesn't look quite as smooth as I'd like. I don't even consider 30 fps, but depending on the game I have a tough time between 40 fps and 60 fps modes.

60hz looks and feels significantly smoother for me. 30hz is awful, 40hz is still "bad" on my 65inch OLED 50 and 60hz feels close to one another. When I get frame drops no lower than 50 they aren't obvious with vrr.

[@paulcox2447]

This is the way to go IMO. I have an OLED which does a really bad job with low frame rate content due to the pixel response time being so fast. I use the TV to bring back detail and sharpness, while it looks better in motion and feels better too, pretty significantly. It's not a small change subjectively.

[@sungjin-woo3894]

People who haven't used 40 fps mode with VRR display (freesync on pc), they are delusional. It's pretty much the quality mode with uncapped frame rate.

Oh, trust me, waiting is no problem - especially with new games coming in at 80€. Games are getting longer and longer, and the market is flooded with competing games. So yeah, I cherry pick my games, and stuff like no performance mode is a deal breaker for me - stopped me from getting a Series X for Starfield. Also, still waiting for a true fix to FF7 Rebirth's performance mode. On PC, I regret my Early Access for Baldur's Gate, because despite my feedback Larian to this day hasn't included UI scaling for Mouse and Keyboard users, and I doubt my current hardware will even be capable of running Act 3 for how poorly optimized that seems to be.

I'm loving this focus on 40 FPS modes. If your game can't quite reach 60, then a good 40 mode (perhaps even unlocked with VRR and LFC, like Insomniac do it!) are absolutely the way to go. 30 FPS modes need to be the fallback modes and should get phased out. Also loving that they are offering controls for per-object/camera motion blur with intensity sliders. So many games just have motion blur on, which blurs EVERYTHING to an insane degree if you so much as touch the controls or motion blur off which completely kills it for everything.

I just realized that Frame-Gen could work absolutely fine on 60hz displays with an unlocked framerate mode. A mode that doesn’t require 120hz display or VRR, sure it might get some screen tearing here and there, but It would be way better then forcing people to buy a 120hz display and locking there fps to 40fps. Rainbow Six Siege runs at an unlocked frame rate at around 148fps average on PS5, on 60hz displays. This should be a toggle for more games in my opinion. Frame-Gen could work ”fine” in these situations ”sometimes maybe not”. Most games with a stable 55-60fps would probably be key here for a non v-synced (unlocked framerate). Unleash 60hz Monitors once again, what would this help? Well it could and will decrease latency alot, and could help with motion fluidity. I hope they configure this as a test on the Immortals of Aveum game soon, and I really hope its not just a 120hz VRR mode locked variant.

[@chalk-one]

Bought this tonight on PS5 and went straight in with the 40fps mode. The amount of shimmering and image breakup when panning the camera is god-awful. Fantastic lighting, geometry, and density, but terrible IQ in many instances. Such a disappointment. Still, it's great fun to run around the world.

[@richardfranklin6003]

You have massively overcomplicated this. It sounds like one an issue with the game engine or you didn't lock your refresh rate correctly. A locked 40 FPS is objectively better than a locked 30 FPS. A locked 40 fps with very occasional drops is objectively better than a locked 30 FPS. PCs will always pull ahead of consoles. You can't just magically have 60 FPS forever on a fixed platform, something has to give eventually. Sometimes, the resolution deficit to achieve higher FPS is either too great of a hit to image quality or depending on where the bottleneck is isn't able to resolve the issue.

Anything below 90 fps is not good. How can you accept it and call it great?

[@KenTWOu]

it's all very subjective and depends on lots of factors: screen size, panel type, camera speed when camera pans (gamepad vs mouse), game's visual style, etc. For some people even 48 fps is fluid enough, for some 60 is still choppy, there is no difference between 75 and 90 fps for others, some clearly see 120 fps benefit in shooters and top down games.

Nice to hear about superficial and/or not very rational opinions, after the absurd intro on the frame time which at 40fps would be somewhere in between, even connecting fluidity to it. The frame time is where it belongs, at 45fps it will be lower, and making that partial calculation is intellectually dishonest, as well as absolutely absurd technically. Stop amplifying every feature on console, it's stressful having to shut the mouths of children who take you as law.

[@gavinderulo12]

What? He's not wrong about the frametimes and 40fps over 30fps is a massive boost to fluidity. It's a 33% boost to fluidity.

[@lucaboss4491]

@@gavinderulo12 Exactly, there is an improvement of 33%, however in the video it is said that the truth is that by magic the 40fps goes between 30 and 60. This follows the famous article on R%C where the same thing was basically said. That method just means playing with the numbers trying to amplify the increase. From 40fps to 60fps there will be the same increase, but this increase will start from 40fps, so there is no middle ground. It's ridiculous to mess around like that even with arithmetic, it means no longer knowing where and how to pump the consoles.

I'm starting to see a trend that I dont like with 40fps.

[@apTimON]

No one care.

[@Striderspawn]

Consoles suck! Enough said. I run through the woods at close to 80 fps.

[@Striderspawn]

With peaks of 125 fps.

[@apTimON]

With 720p.

[@davidfaustino4476]

If you have a 120 hz tv you'll LOVE 40fps. 👍🤡🤡🤡

[@captainshiner42]

These consoles launched with underpowered hardware when they released in 2020. You act surprised.

[@melxvee6850]

My guy 120hz TVs are cheap lol

[@d4mterro320]

TrashBox less stable? Don't remind me...

[@ManofOneGod]

1080p60fps should be bare minimum already. Wtf is wrong with the devs?!

[@rocstarang5747]

1440p60

[@captainshiner42]

​@@rocstarang5747Exactly.

[@KenTWOu]

In this case it's ray tracing
