    30 fps wouldn’t be bad if its consistent and stable, have you ever played on a low end PC at 15-22 fps?

      Yeah I have, for a looong while. I understand a stable framerate is much better than a “high” one, but like, were not talking about a “Low-end” PC here, we’re talking about the current, still marketed generation here.

      How come 30’s still the target when all the marketing is talking about how powerful it is and how amazing the upscaling is? And it’s a fixed target on top of all that, like common man

      I grew up breaking games to make them run under minimum settings. Subnautica has (or at least had) a Dev menu or some shit that you could make the game look like utter arse.

      Got me like 18fps at 480p, worth it #playable for younger me.

      If I get under 100fps at 4k now I’m unhappy. How times change.

        Lol, same, I’ve played some games at such abysmal resolution it became a testament of how good the art direction was, making it possible to recognize things amidst that jumble of pixels.

        Funny how we grow accustomed with what we have. I was hyper-aware of my disk usage when I had a tiny HDD, nowadays I’m like “Why am I low on storage???”, then I go check and find 200GB of junk I no longer need on my downloads folder. Whoops.

      the thing is “a pc” is very vague.

      you are probably talking about a pc several generations behind, in that case its awesome that the game even runs.
