60 or 120 fps?

[Lothric Knight]

What do you play at?

[Mezziaz]

120fps to get the least input lag, the mode is viable now since the latest patch (provided you have the hardware to make full use of it)

What kind of hardware do you need to get to 120fps? Assuming using DLSS4?

[Lothric Knight]

I have 6800 xt 5800x ryzen. To get locked 120 fps I need to put everyhing on lowest setting and 1080 p FSR quality to guarantee 120 locked.

I dont know, I rather have locked 60 fps with max settings at 1400p fsr balance.

Thats not true. You'll get way more input lag @120 fps. Most speedrunners and NG pros use 60 fps because 120 fps will make the inputs slower and sometimes it doesn't even register the inputs.

Yes, it is.

Watch an actual input lag test of the game

What you said about dropping inputs, was true pre-patch. Before I struggled especially with on-landing 360 UT moves, now I can perform them with the same consistency as I can at 60hz.

Quote from the actual patch notes

"Bug Fixes:
Fixed control issues that occurred when playing at over 120 FPS or while under high computing load."

60 FPS. That's leaves things fluid enough for any character action game.

The difference only becomes noticeable if your eyes get too accustomed to 120FPS over an extended period, so I'm not going to start reprogramming my brain until 120 is more common, lol.
