Leave a like and Subscribe if you enjoyed the For Honor YouTube Shorts video where I played Shaolin. ► What is For Honor For Honor is an action-fighting game set during a medieval/fantasy setting.

this was recommended to me on youtube and the footage is really smooth, but when i play for honor, my game feels way more choppy, (my fps is more than 60 and my monitor's resolution is 60hz)
i know its probably a stupid question, but i dont really understand this
can i achieve this smoothness in-game somehow?

The magic of advertising. Just compare food pictures with the slop you actually buy.

Without knowing any of your specs, we really can't guess what can help you.

Turn down some of the graphical settings.

Turn on Vsync/Gsync.

That's plenty to the run the game. However, the person who recorded the video has 1080 which is about 60-80% better than your 1060, so it can push the game's graphics better and with more quality settings.

If your FPS is more than 60 it is useless if your monitors refresh rate is only 60hz. Get a faster monitor.

Wait until you see what actors look like without their crew of makeup and costuming...

And also, yeah, your mileage may vary tremendously based on your computer's specs and your settings in games.

turn v-sync on, get smaller monitor like 22" with 1080p or use tv from your sofa. magic ;)

Maybe the same thing as when some people show of their "screenshots" from a graphical mod in a game but they didn't mention all the blur and after effects they applied as well. ;P
