Yeah more is better. But a GT 310m can only do so much and I wanted to play Battlefield 3. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ElectroLisa@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 8 months ago (2 children) Ever since the Steam Deck got released and local streaming services like Parsec or Sunshine/Moonlight have been created, I've noticed you can comfortably play games on lower frame rates, when your screen takes less of your view. On PC I need to have at least 90 FPS to say a game runs smoothly, but I can play the same game on my phone/laptop via streaming at much lower frame rate and still not complain about the smoothness. Playing Cyberpunk on a 6.7" smartphone display at 30 FPS will most definitely feel much less responsive than running it on PC at +60 FPS, but it may not be a bad experience. I still find it impressive it's possible to play a (somewhat) modern x86 Windows game on an Android smartphone.

I can accept 30 FPS for stuff like a platformer, a third person brawler or a strategy game, especially so when I'm on my Deck. It's not ideal and it makes it a bit harder to time things but it's still playable. A first person game like Cyberpunk? You're really stretching the limits of what "playable" means. And I've tried playing Battlefield 3 at 11 FPS on a MacBook back in 2010. Sure I was able to "play" it but "struggle" may have been a better word than "playable". permalink fedilink source parent [–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago I find the opposite. I’m okay with 30fps on my tv but for handhelds, anything less than 60 is unbearable permalink fedilink source parent
