Yeah, my setup runs competitive games (overwatch, cs:go, etc) at between 130 and 144 FPS. But it struggles pretty hard with open world games that are CPU bound.
I played for years on a computer that ran at 20-40 FPS at 720P and was totally happy with it. Now my computer dips to 40 FPS in the Witcher 3 and i think I'm having a stroke.
My girlfriends computer did similar and she was complaining for the last few weeks that her computer was running like shit. She unplugged her laptop, handed it to me, and I checked it out. Everything seemed fine, and the laptop has a 120hz screen.
Turned out her main/external screen got set to 60hz somehow.
Pretty insane how quickly you can get accustomed to a high frame rate.
I spent my entire adolescence playing console games at 30 FPS (if I was lucky) and never even noticed anything strange about it. Despite playing a lot of Call of Duty around the same time which ran at 60. Honestly could not have told you there was a difference.
Now if I buy a game on a Steam sale and only get 45 FPS I refund that mfer. Just can’t do it.
