It depends on the game. For quick, competitive, or multiplayer titles I’d favor a better frame rate. For narrative-driven experiences with more relaxed pacing, higher resolution might be preferable.
I really struggle to distinguish between 30 and 60 frames per second. Likely it’s because both offer a big boost compared to my 10 FPS Minecraft game on my MacBook Air from 2011.
720p at 60fps works best on a smaller screen. If not, aim for 1080p with 60fps. Avoid anything at 30fps—Dark Souls is the only one I tolerate at that speed because it’s solid and engaging.
