FOV issues
FOV issues
I've always been extremely sensitive to the field of view in any game I play. When the FOV becomes too narrow, I start experiencing motion sickness after about five minutes. Recently, I've noticed I'm getting sick from games that used to be okay for me, especially with FOV around 90% or higher. Even in Warcraft, after just five minutes I begin to feel unwell and can't continue playing. I only adjusted brightness and contrast on my TV settings, but nothing seems to help.
There aren't any games available right now. All the ones I have work well at over 90 degrees of view, but I’m experiencing motion sickness in higher FOV titles. I’m curious if adjusting settings on my TV could help reduce the discomfort beyond just taking breaks.
No its not an fps issue! FOV means field of view, I'm not having issues with the fps sense most of my games I can care less. Please I'm asking for help and if you don't want to at least google what FOV means if you don't know then don't comment. There's a HUGE difference between FOV and FPS!
Your profile mentions gaming on a 39" TV. Motion sickness might occur when sitting too near a big screen, particularly if the resolution is low. If you're close to the display, consider using a 27" 1440p monitor (high refresh rate available). Your 980TI can handle games well at 1440p, and improved pixel density, refresh rate, and response time could* ease motion sickness. *Results may differ.
We understand, but the impact can be boosted by roughly a hundred times. Ways to reduce motion sickness include:
- Using a smaller screen (22 inches works, 24 is also fine).
- Opting for a high refresh rate (120 or 144 Hz).
- Ensuring enough ambient light so the screen doesn’t shine against the background.
- Disabling motion blur.
- Selecting screens with minimal input lag (144 Hz displays typically have low lag).
