Getting used to 60fps again
Does anyone have any tricks or ideas I could do to help me adapt to 60fps again? I've tried playing at 24fps for 3 days and going to 60 and still looks like a picture show to me I really want to go back because 60fps is the standard for everything and you are never going to get 120 FPS in every single game you play like Fallout/ Elder Scrolls games or something

try motion blur if the game has it ?

if you're familiar with reshade you can customise your own motion blur effect with that modding tool in single player games.

No I don't know what reshade is but I'll try it

Weird... I can switch from 144Hz/fps to 60 without any problem. I notice a difference, but it doesn't make games any less playable. Maybe you just need more time to adjust.
I'm thinking I'm going to try playing at 15 FPS for like a good two weeks instead of three days and I'm hoping that will help
Hey fella, any news 4 years later? Did you manage to readjust?

No its impossible sadly I still try every now and then and get nowhere
I'm hoping g-sync pulsar will save the day

No. Once you experienced 120/144 ... 60 is the new 30.
There's no way back.

seems like the new g-sync pulsar is like g-sync with ulmb with some new backlight strobing tech I'm hoping to take advantage of that and enjoy games at 60fps again probably
Well, i'm asking because i, for some reason, just can't stand camera motion in games anymore. No mater what fps - i just see every frame...

The guy said that after 120 60 is new 30 - now 120 for me feels like 30 before, lol

The part of the problem is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ motion clarity of LCDs, but the thing is, on CRTs it's even worse for some reason. LCDs ghosting helps to blend frames a little, while CRT just stroboscopes frames as they are(so ulmb for me is not the answer either)

Yeah, but i'm using 120+hz for like 3 years now and didn't have any issues until recently. It's great to simplify and scare and all, like "look, the tech is so great that you'll never come back" - but it's simply not true

For this 3 years i was playing high fps/hz PC games and switching to consoles right after. Difference was comical, but still, it was just 30 fps as before, pretty much playable

But now - how about maxed out 120fps gaming feels like 30fps? I mean, ok, if your idea is true that i can't go back to 60, then why i can't play in 120? No framegen, stable frametime capped with rtss, gsync eliminating tearing - pretty much perfect scenario, but eyes say no - eyes see every frame in camera motion as standalone not connected to each other series of static pictures
Sounds like you're describing akinetopsia:

"The eye condition where everything appears stationary, as if it's not moving, is called akinetopsia or motion blindness. This rare neuropsychological disorder prevents individuals from perceiving motion, though they can still see stationary objects."

"can manifest in varying degrees, from seeing motion as a series of still frames (like a movie reel) to a complete inability to detect any movement."

Using motion blur helped me to get used to lower fps in casual games
Well, it's not THAT bad - i can watch movies without problems(most of them at least), so it's hardly motion blindness

Motion blur helps indeed, but not all games have it, but even if they do not every game offers good implementation. God of War 2018 for example has motion blur, but the effect is either too strong or too weak for my taste. Sea of Thieves doesn't have motion blur at all, no matter what fps and fov - the game looks like stuttery strobocopic mess for me when moving a camera
i have a 165hz monitor and still set games to 60 frames just to kill the heat on the GPU....my EVGA hybrid 3080 is in a no AC garage in Florida

in saying this i have a really nice LG 32inch 2560x1440 monitor....at night when i play battlefield with my group of deranged monkeys i let it rip and see 180 plus frames in 2042....it wont use more then 165 but its getting past it....

Gsync is what saves it all.....blowing past refresh rate and seeing well below is really helped by Gsync....im just glad they unlocked the software version so many freesync monitors can run it as well....

i know it sounds like a ad but it really made it so 60 is not bad....you can find freesync 27 inch 1440 165hz monitors now for 200 bucks so maybe time for a little upgrade that will make every game look better and truly be a upgrade in your computing use as a whole.....

I'm already using 1440p 165hz Gsync monitor, so... Nope, this fix is not for me

Btw gsync is useless past refresh rate, so you should cap you fps on something like 150 to not deal with vsync or tearing
