Is it single-player or multiplayer? For me, single-player is better—I like FPS to match the refresh rate, aiming for the highest resolution. Multiplayer isn’t competitive here; it’s non-competitive and similar to single-player. I prefer 1080p with as many frames as possible, adjusting settings accordingly.
It varies what matters most to you. For me, FPS only counts in shooting games and resolution isn’t the main issue. I even enjoy Fortnite at around 80 FPS with a smooth 144Hz display, and I can push it up to 144 if needed because I’m comfortable above 60. In competitive play, I aim for 60 FPS max; otherwise, anything over 30 works fine. Generally, I’ve tested 60 FPS on the highest settings at 1440p.
Choosing a graphics card seems confusing. Power matters, but how you use it is up to you. You can enjoy smooth performance at 720p with 300 frames per second or crisp 4k at 20 fps—whatever suits your needs. For me, a steady 60 frames per second in 1080p works best when settings are balanced (high or medium), as low is rarely ideal and ultra settings can be overwhelming.
I test every title on all ultra settings at 1080p with full quality textures and advanced transparency effects. I also set the render resolution to 120% for games like Destiny 2 to minimize blur from standard anti-aliasing. That’s unnecessary—my specs are already optimized in my profile.
My vision isn’t great, so I don’t mind watching games at 720p much, as long as the frame rate is high.
