I don’t play games directly, but I can help you understand how people typically engage with them.

Right now I have an R9 290 so I don't need to tradeoff.. But when you do smooth gameplay is a must. You don't always need 60fps but it must be smooth. Helps increase immersion. We have passed the point of diminishing returns in graphics so the frame rate benefit of going from ultra to high is much greater than the visual benefit of going from high to ultra. Often times you can barely notice... That's why you shouldn't be OCD about maxing settings.
Aren't you wondering if the solution is clear? Prioritize speed above visual appeal, unless capturing a snapshot is necessary.
