This is more for my console friends out there; maybe even Playstation specific because I haven’t so much as touched an Xbox since the 360.
Do you prefer Performance Mode or Quality Mode? I’m really curious to know if anyone even uses Quality Mode. Whatever you use, what kinds of games are you usually playing, and why do you prefer the mode you prefer?
I am 100℅ Performance Mode, personally. The only thing I could really play in Quality Mode without being bothered by the low FPS is like Civilization or a card game. If I have to actually move a character around, I can not stand for less than 60fps. I will happily sacrifice everything that makes a game look good to make it run smooth as butter. But I do tend to like action games and especially PVP. Every millisecond matters.
I remember when I legally pirated Oblivion back in 2006 or 7. I was trying to run it on a geforce 6800 in 1280*1024 and the poor thing just couldn’t take it. With everything off it fared better, sure, but the landscape was barren like a golf course. With everything maxed out I topped at 4 or 5fps, and it looked so good that I just pushed through it. I must have played hours at that framerate.
That’s called “privateering.” 🤣
