Perhaps I didn’t do enough research into the expected performance for some beefier titles that i have in my library, but why is 30FPS the norm?!

Seems like people set the bar for whether a game runs well on deck or not to be 30FPS. That’s ridiculous… 30FPS is peasantry. Aren’t we PC gamers?!

    Well

    30fps was pretty common before 2010

    it’s always been common on consoles from like 1990 to 2020

    it is ultra common on Switch

      Once the 3D era hit 30fps became common. Heck even the PS1 and N64 has its fair share of 20fps games as well. I’d say the current generation and the 6th generation have the highest percentage of 60fps 3D games. 5th, 7th, and 8th generation have a ton of 30fps games

      Even in the early days of PC gaming 30fps or below was quite common. I remember struggling to run Day of Defeat at 30fps on my old Compaq and I still look back on that time as my personal Golden Age of pc gaming!
