Want more than 60 fps? Use Special K

It is absurd that they wont unlock the 60 fps frame lock.

That to some of us, is totally unplayable. If you're used to 100 + fps, going down to 60 is lame.

The only downside to increasing the frames for this game, is that it totally forfeits the online aspect. You cant summon, be summoned or interact at all with other players. So its either ♥♥♥♥ performance, or offline. I choose offline

You can sorta do 120 FPS with Radeon Fluid Motion frames if you have a Radeon GPU, if you are willing to put up with a miniscule 10 milliseconds of added latency and don't mind a mirror-image effect around your character when you spin in circles. Nvidia will soon have a similar feature for RTX 4000 and 5000.

Im already doing 120 fps without it ;)

"If it's not over 60 it's unplayable" is not a hinged statement.

You're rabidly obsessing over frames beyond what you can actually differentiate

Amen! Reality is statements like "I CANT PLAY WITH LESS THAN 200FPS" makes you look like if you completly are out of your gourd......Or started playing video games yesterday.

Millions and MILLIONS enjoyed Elden Ring and Bloodborne BREATH TAKING 30 FPS cap 10 years ago.....They probably had no clue about what FPS is.

Just in case i will repeat again the more FPS and eye candy the better (im buying a 5080 this monday.....Trust me when i say i care about performance) but coming here to say the game is unplayable or stuttering garbage with less than 60 FPS makes you look terrible....

I personally use Lossless Scaling. A great tool to apply frame generation to any full screen application and even upscaling. This way you won't risk bricking your game with unpredictable physics or any internals going haywire.

The human eye can absolutely see the difference between 60 and 90 fps. You can even tell the difference between 90 and 120. You are just ignorant. If you are used to 100 + fps, 60 is INDEED trash. Continue to live in ignorance though

How do those console players mange with 30 FPS? I'm sure the difference between 30 and 60 is much more noticeable than 60 to 90. But there is nothing unplayable at 60 FPS. You are better off not paying top dollar for the latest hardware since it has a very short shelf life these days.

Obsessing over framerate to the exclusion of all else isn't rational behavior, and a stable 60 is more than acceptable for literally every game. Once you hit that point, going past that is just wasting power.

I could explain the nuances of how framerate only makes things smoother to the extent of what the actual animation is, or how it has no actual impact on how fast you can react to things past a certain point, or anything else relating to how "more fps=gooderer" isn't actually always true, but I don't think you actually care at all and you just want to go "but I need MORE frames! >:("

This, precisely. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell, Ocarina of Time ran at 20. Twenty! 16.67 on PAL! And it's one of the highest rated games of all time! 60 is perfectly fine!

Games are literally not unplayable if they're below 120. People are obsessing over a single number far beyond the point it actually matters and demanding more of that single number above all else, instead of focusing on ♥♥♥♥ like actually using hardware efficiently.

Literally just make it run at a smooth 60, with textures sharp enough I can read text on signs easily, audio that doesn't sound crunchy, and have it try to use as few resources as possible to accomplish that.

The absolute ignorance on display here is wild

Imagine not understanding the concept that once you get used to 100 +_ fps, 60 is indeed kind of cr@ppy. Why are these people taking offense to this? it is reality. The only ones who might try to debate this, are people who simply have yet to experience consistently high frames. I wont be happy with a modern game if I cant get above 60 fps. referencing n64 games by the way, is completely redundant. Our eyes in 1998 were not accustomed to 170 hz refresh rates and high frames with extremely high end graphics. If you play a real vanilla n64 today, its nearly unplayable for some games and I mean that. I own every retro console up to the ps3. Going back now and playing those on vanilla hardware is rough. Your brain gets used to higher refresh rates and frames, making it more noticeable when you go back to say, 60. I too, used to think 60 was "fine". In some cases I would agree its "fine", but absolutely not ideal for anyone with a modern rig in 2025.

Cope harder

Ive also heard of this method! Havent messed with that at all though

[Fineous🔥]

No, OP. I can perfectly go from playing Space Marine 2 with ULTRAMARINE 4K texture pack to Elden Ring or hell.....King Quest 5, without suffering a aneurysm.

Dont be pathetic, private profile. Be better.

[Virtuozo]

The only reason I need higher FPS Is for that dopamine boost seeing a higher number in the top right corner of the screen

Says the one not coping. It sounds more like an entitlement thing. In VR the difference between 60 and 90 is noticeable. Are you perhaps playing on a huge wrap around monitor? Because it's normally not a gamebreaker.

lmao you must be trolling. If not, you are simply exposing your utter inexperience here.

Its not rocket science to understand that there is a large noticeable difference between 60 and 90 fps. Even 70 - 80 is majorly noticeable. You are literally just showing your extreme ignorance and lack of experience with a good rig/ high hz monitor chief.

VR or not....I literally have vr. That is an irrelevant thing to mention. If you ever upgrade and get used to a proper frame rate, you will look back on this and face palm so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard. Negating the reality that there is a major difference between 60 and 100 + fps is absolutely cringe and ridiculous. Im not responding to anyone else who perpetuates this level of ignorance.

Get better hardware and some experience with the technology before you come here to yap

[xShapelessx]

Lol Imagine thinking the reason someone wants fps that matches their hardware level is "entitlement"

God forbid someone who works a full time job, puts some money into their build and wants the best experience they can get out of that hardware.

it is not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ debatable that higher frame rate is smoother and creates a more seamless, enjoyable gaming experience. We have literally been talking frames since the 90s. You are misinformed if you think that myth about the human eye not being able to see above 60 fps is anything OTHER THAN A MYTH. It's honestly embarrassing seeing grown men perpetuate such nonsense.

It is annoying that they *can't* uncap it, I completely agree it would be better if the option was available. unfortunately if the game runs at higher than 60FPS it breaks certain aspects of the game in subtle ways, and speeds up animations in various ways, they can't simply uncap it without causing problems

This is entirely false. I am literally running it at over 100 fps at all times and have no issues with animations whatsoever

This was the case with ds2 yes, but that has a mod. modern games arent tying animations to a 60 fps lock. That simply isnt the case
