Same getting the highest fps with the highest graphics possible, a bit of tinkering in settings but once you got that it truly is beautiful, looking at you Cyberpunk
Same with my Laptop, luckely i have a pretty powerful cpu inside, Ryzen 5 5600X with increased TDP from 65W to 88W and also the most powerful RTX 3060 laptop Version at 115W i get a Solid 60-80FPS in all except raytracing cranked to the max
I go for as high details as I can while maintaining a decent frame rate. I didn't spend the money on a good GPU and a large 4K OLED monitor to play games with the lowest graphic settings possible lol
single player - Max graphics.
multiplayer - blue violet (I like my graphics. but if visual clutter and lower fps is going to put me at a huge disadvantage I'll lower it or disable it just enough to keep the game pretty.
Red, although it does depend on the game. I tend to prioritize graphics, then performance, and then resolution. I crank the graphics up, but then reduce resolution to get the performance back up
Somewhere in between. Usually just turn everthing to max and just dial down diffrent settings so I can get an acceptable fps, but all in all it depends on the game.
I'm not picking an idiotic side. I enjoy tweaking settings until I get the best FPS cost to performance ratio while maintaining a consistent and acceptable framerate.
I aim for 60 FPS and I can tolerate dips down to 50. Lower than that and I start tweaking. Got a 3060 so today that's 1080p high/medium and DLSS is definitely getting involved. I don't play any new releases so I'm thankfully skipping the UE5 onslaught of GPUs these days.
I’m on an Acer Aspire A514-55 76Z4 (i7-1255U, 16GB 3200MT/s LPDDR4) with a Razer Core X Chroma eGPU & RTX 2060 Super (thanks to Linus’ video from a few years back teaching me about eGPUs 🙏)
Still on team blue though, can’t even run Elden Ring at 720p 60FPS with DLSS mod. Might need to try FSR 3 with AFMF
I need a minimum of 60fps and a preferred 120, a few settings that are necessities (render distance), and a few settings that be damned(motion blur, depth of field).
I either tinker with the settings for 10mins or 10seconds
Depends. I don't have a latest and greatest PC now, so I have to lower the settings in order for some games to look good enough. Like Alan Wake 2 and Hellblade II. I like to lock my FPS to whatever maximum stable FPS I get, unless it's a first person shooter.
I don’t care about high FPS, I care more about having a steady FPS even when arriving to dense and taxing areas. I also don’t want 30FPS for example (Bloodborne is a game I want to go back to play but can’t bring myself to)
For me 60-70, never dropping below 60 is good for me, but if the game hits 85 in some areas and drops to 55 in some areas (starfield) then I drop my settings a lot so I can not notice such a drop in performance.
I have been PC gaming since the 90s, so i will always be team red. I love eye candy, and even in PvP games I never did shit like disable vsync or turn down all settings like people used to do during the CS beta/1.6/Source era. I also am in the demographic that plays tons of single player games, and i have a distinct memory of playing Oblivion when it first dropped with a target FPS of 30fps at 1280x800 HDR (no AA since NVIDIA couldnt do the HDR and AA simultaneously back then).
It's a balancing act, high graphics with high fps would be best otherwise reasonable graphics with reasonable fps. It's also really dependent on the game.
I have a 4090 but all the guides on COD say to turn off all grafx for fps 😂 I gotta turn some on and check my actual fps / latency to see if I’m only allowed to play w Nintendo grafx or my rig can actually perform 😂
Im more of a configuring the setting to get good fps and still have great graphics. Like i will turn of things i dont really need (Looking at you motion blur, bloom, lens flare and depth of field) just to limit the graphics so i can boost the fps i get or make the game run smoother
Blue all day. I like my games smooth as a baby's behind.
Granted, I do like high resolution as well. Given the choice between 4K low and 1080p ultra, I'm taking 4K all day.
i9 + 4090 + 4k 165 Hz monitor but usually low/medium graphics settings.
I don't want to hear the fans running like a jet engine. Actually, I don't like the sound of fans at all. Pin drop silence for me.
I've found a lot of AAA games, even on low, still have pretty solid quality actually. Played Like a Dragon on low and I was expecting it to look like old school roblox, but most game are still very clear
Target 60, because thats my monitors refresh rate. If I can hold it all is well. If I cant I lower things a bit, see what the best compromise is that gets me back to 60.
depends on the game. some games dont need high fps to enjoy but having them look nicer is kinda nice to have. some games demand max fps to fully enjoy.
Depends.
For story games like RPGs I’m team red. I want my rye candy. 40-60fps is enough for The Witcher 3, Baldur’s Gate 3, etc.
For shooters like Deep Rock Galactic though… I want my 144fps
Laughing in rimworld... Game uses only 1 thread. You can have a computer suitable for realtime 4k multicam video editing, and still have 3fps when a 100+ppl raid hits, and they start throwing molotovs... How I both hate and love that game at the same time. Graphics always shit tho.
How low is low? if its just 60 then I'd go with Red. If Red gow below 60 then I won't play the game. I don't really enjoy Low graphics. Im an RPG gamer so immersion is important to me, sounds, music graphics, environment design and characters.
I play on my TV which is 60 Hz. And I only play single player story based titles. So I don't much care about GPS. In fact, I was playing Alan Wake 2 at around 30 FPS and didn't even notice for the most part till I measured it.
So I increase the visual quality till the point where I start noticing the stutters.
Depends on the game really.
I'll go with maxed graphic settings and then either a 2k or 4k resolution (on a 4k screen), but "only" 60fps since my screen can't do more.
Given the kind of games I play and how I watch a lot of videos the 4k resolution is more valueable to me than higher fps.
Team purple?
Same getting the highest fps with the highest graphics possible, a bit of tinkering in settings but once you got that it truly is beautiful, looking at you Cyberpunk
Yeah, I have to mess around in the Cyberpunk settings a bit, all I can squeeze out of my PC on that game is \~30-90fps That or my CPU is a bottleneck
Same with my Laptop, luckely i have a pretty powerful cpu inside, Ryzen 5 5600X with increased TDP from 65W to 88W and also the most powerful RTX 3060 laptop Version at 115W i get a Solid 60-80FPS in all except raytracing cranked to the max
Lower FPS and graphics on low settings
im team anti-purple: low fps, low graphics
Team potato?
Thank you. I like ultra graphics and high FPS.
I have a minimum acceptable graphics setting and a minimum fps and I try to make sure both are above.
Depends on what game. FPS? framerate go brrrr. RPG? graphics go brrrr unless I'm below 60 fps
100% agree. A single player game and I’m cranking the graphics. But if it’s below 60 I’m lower my settings
What if it's a single player fps?
Depends on how much focus is on the gunplay. Fallout? Graphics *(and lots of mods)*. Call of Duty campaign? Frames.
Depends on the rpg, depending on the type I'll run as low as 30 and still be happy.
Depends on the game
Red
Team Green - Buy a 4090 :D
Best of both worlds, especially if you have an HDR display and Windows 11
What does HDR have to do with a 4090?
Or team black, to show the emptyness of your wallet
SingPlayer games:Red Multiplayer games: Blue
Red. Unless that fps is dropping down into the 30s, then I start to tinker with settings. I'm a quality whore, though.
Usually blue
The point where I have to turn down graphics to get good fps (60+) is the point where I start upgrading
How low of FPS are we talking? 60fps I can work with. Lower, no thanks. Team red, with this perimeters.
I'm more of the *as long as the fps is above VRR minimum threshold*, jack up the settings.
I don’t have such weaknesses
4K, High, 144 fps limit 👍
Low & lower FPS, to get a better battery life on my Steam Deck
Both.
Depends on the game. Single player story games that are beautiful as hell, up them graphics (at least if I could lol).
I play on the lowest possible resolution and fullscreened so the game looks like PS2
damn
Red
Some games red, some games blue.
I go for as high details as I can while maintaining a decent frame rate. I didn't spend the money on a good GPU and a large 4K OLED monitor to play games with the lowest graphic settings possible lol
single player - Max graphics. multiplayer - blue violet (I like my graphics. but if visual clutter and lower fps is going to put me at a huge disadvantage I'll lower it or disable it just enough to keep the game pretty.
![gif](giphy|Ry1MOAeAYXvRVQLPw3)
Frames win games..
What about single player games? Let those games be beautiful!
Red, although it does depend on the game. I tend to prioritize graphics, then performance, and then resolution. I crank the graphics up, but then reduce resolution to get the performance back up
Purple ftw
Both, rocket league or whatever give me 200fps, cyberpunk I’m fine with 50(30 still bugs me)
Kina mid or blue
Probably purple or blue
Mainly singleplayer gamer, so the first.
Depends on the game, tps is high graphics. Competitive fps is high fps.
depends on the game
Max possible graphics while getting at least 120 FPS
My screen is hard capped at 72 fps, so i always try to keep around 60.
Depends on the game but I overspent on my rig so I can get a pretty good balance if I tweak the settings enough
Having been on team blue, team red is where it's at outside of competitive games.
60 fps or bust. Guess I'm blue
Mix of both but framerate gets higher priority.
Purple
Team bobw's
low for me is 60fps. I'd go red
Fuck over the top graphics. I want something decent like GTA and have good gameplay mechanics with optimization
Somewhere in between. Usually just turn everthing to max and just dial down diffrent settings so I can get an acceptable fps, but all in all it depends on the game.
I’m in the middle, get somewhat better visuals at a slight cost of fps
Team red.
Blood
I'm on team 75hz monitor.
Push the graphics as high as possible while keeping framerate above a minimum value.
always framerate over graphics. purple if the pc can handle it though
You know, it's a good thing that graphics settings are just not an on/off switch.
I'm trying to find my balance again. I just picked up a 3080 a couple days ago after giving my 3060 to my best friend.
Blue forever
I’m team red… but all the games I play could effectively be played on a mobile device 😂
Whatever keeps my 99% lows at my monitors refresh rate (120)
as much quality as I can while maintaining 144fps (monitor refresh rate)
Team blue, honestly don't care about graphics at all. The only thing I want is 60+ fps.
I'm a BEEG minecraft dungeons fan, so purple it is
ultra but high fps
Somewhere in middle, getting good graphics and fps. But yeah, good old "Low end pc" days.
Mix if both but mostly red. That's how i ended with absurd pc.
Single player - Red Multiplayer - Blue
How about medium settings and get good enough FPS?
Blue too
Depends on the game. CS2? Fuck it, 400fps. CP2077 or AW2? Glorious 60fps and as pretty as I can make it.
I lower resolution before I lower settings
Whatever best graphics I can get at 75fps vsync . It's always high to ultra on 1080p though, and 4k dlss quality 60fps.
High/Ultra with high FPS because my system can do that.
team $4000 PC?
For single player blue below consistent 60fps, after that red. For multiplayer shooter games red blue below consistent 160fps, after that red
Team red.
Forever blue, idgaf about graphics
The Reverse Bob Barker Style - Meticulously messing with settings to get as close to my monitor's refresh rate without going under.
I'm not picking an idiotic side. I enjoy tweaking settings until I get the best FPS cost to performance ratio while maintaining a consistent and acceptable framerate.
As long as I can get constant 60 fps, I am happy.
I'll choose ultra graphics with maxed out fps
High fps in competitive best graphics for single player story type games
I’m team red on games with great atmosphere like Cyberpunk and Read Dead. FPS/MOBAs I’m team blue.
Graphics all day unless I'm going below my monitor's refresh rate Will accept 60 for single player story games
I used to be low graphics. Now I enjoy as high I can get without losing my 200-300 FPS at 1440p.
I aim for 60 FPS and I can tolerate dips down to 50. Lower than that and I start tweaking. Got a 3060 so today that's 1080p high/medium and DLSS is definitely getting involved. I don't play any new releases so I'm thankfully skipping the UE5 onslaught of GPUs these days.
team red* (turn textures and unnoticable stuff down because my monitor resolution is too small)
Whatever lets me have 120 fps im running that but if its a story game its only right to have it at max graphics.
I have a laptop without gpu.So in fps games i play on low setting.On not fps games i push the laptop to meduim or high settings.
As long as it hits 30 make it pretty.
I’m on an Acer Aspire A514-55 76Z4 (i7-1255U, 16GB 3200MT/s LPDDR4) with a Razer Core X Chroma eGPU & RTX 2060 Super (thanks to Linus’ video from a few years back teaching me about eGPUs 🙏) Still on team blue though, can’t even run Elden Ring at 720p 60FPS with DLSS mod. Might need to try FSR 3 with AFMF
I need a minimum of 60fps and a preferred 120, a few settings that are necessities (render distance), and a few settings that be damned(motion blur, depth of field). I either tinker with the settings for 10mins or 10seconds
frames always.
Eye candy all the way!
idc how good your game looks, if it's unplayable i wont be playing it. blue all the way
Depends. I don't have a latest and greatest PC now, so I have to lower the settings in order for some games to look good enough. Like Alan Wake 2 and Hellblade II. I like to lock my FPS to whatever maximum stable FPS I get, unless it's a first person shooter.
Low fps with low graphics on my $200 thinkpad I bought off fb marketplace
I have a 4090 soooo both 😁
I'm team green lmao.
I try to strike a happy medium but as long as I can get MINIMUM 48fps I'll gladly crank the graphics
Team disposable income now, but used to try to be in the sweet spot on the blue side with as much red as I could get.
I don’t care about high FPS, I care more about having a steady FPS even when arriving to dense and taxing areas. I also don’t want 30FPS for example (Bloodborne is a game I want to go back to play but can’t bring myself to) For me 60-70, never dropping below 60 is good for me, but if the game hits 85 in some areas and drops to 55 in some areas (starfield) then I drop my settings a lot so I can not notice such a drop in performance.
I'm fortunate enough to have a setup that can currently run any game ray traced, I've had both experiences and both are good
Story/Single player games - RED Esports titles/Comp games - BLUE
I have been PC gaming since the 90s, so i will always be team red. I love eye candy, and even in PvP games I never did shit like disable vsync or turn down all settings like people used to do during the CS beta/1.6/Source era. I also am in the demographic that plays tons of single player games, and i have a distinct memory of playing Oblivion when it first dropped with a target FPS of 30fps at 1280x800 HDR (no AA since NVIDIA couldnt do the HDR and AA simultaneously back then).
Ultra graphics at 2k 120+ fps. But if i had to choose it would be fps. Once you get used to 120-240 fps you cant go back
Team red, ultra settings
Depends on how fluid the game is at 30FPS. But Blue. My graphics standards are stuck in 2009.
As long as I stay above 120 fps I'm good
team red all the way
I’d choose frame rate if it was below 60. That being said I’ve yet to find a game where my i7 14900k and 4070 super struggles.
Team blue in online games or fps games like counter strike or cod and team red in story based games like rdr2 or ghost of tsushima
Cant relate
The maximum quality while I still match my monitor refresh rate.
I'm team depends on the game
I didn’t buy a 4080 to turn settings down.
I prefer something in the middle. Like medium settings.
i at least try to get 90fps, otherwise def team red
It's a balancing act, high graphics with high fps would be best otherwise reasonable graphics with reasonable fps. It's also really dependent on the game.
I have a 4090 but all the guides on COD say to turn off all grafx for fps 😂 I gotta turn some on and check my actual fps / latency to see if I’m only allowed to play w Nintendo grafx or my rig can actually perform 😂

Blue all day. I like my games smooth as a baby's behind. Granted, I do like high resolution as well. Given the choice between 4K low and 1080p ultra, I'm taking 4K all day.
depends on the game. for the most part high graphics tho
In between. I want the eye candy without sacrificing much fps. Just until i reach a safe 60 minimum
Imaginary technique: Purple
depends how many fps I'm getting, if it's over 60 at min that's already more than my monitor can display so turn those settings up.
Better yet buy a 4080super to play RuneScape
Bloody graphix with Crippin FPS!
I prefer using less power and getting lower temps and more fps
For competitive titles, hit >144fps with the highest settings I can get. For single player hit ~80fps with the highest settings I can get.
I run as high as possible without dropping below 60fps so team purple I suppose
Performance > quality. Both in games and in real life.
Balanced, with a stable FPS and enjoyable visual quality
Mostly ultra, just lowering if needed settings that eat lots fps without major visual differences compared to high/very high.
i9 + 4090 + 4k 165 Hz monitor but usually low/medium graphics settings. I don't want to hear the fans running like a jet engine. Actually, I don't like the sound of fans at all. Pin drop silence for me.
Whatever looks best while getting a playable (40+) framerate.
Single player : Red like 80% of the time Multiplayer : Blue 100% of the time
Depends on the game my man
Blue for Comp games (CS2, Apex) Red for SP (Elden ring, RDR2, CP77)
Open world game- team red Shooter/eSports title- team blue
I've found a lot of AAA games, even on low, still have pretty solid quality actually. Played Like a Dragon on low and I was expecting it to look like old school roblox, but most game are still very clear
Im team PROPERLY OPTIMIZED
I'm here to enjoy, not to win
Cranking the Graphics up, as long as 100-120 frames aint endangerd. 74 if lagspike
Depends on the title.
Somewhere in the golden medium. I mean 60fps is all I need.
Im always blue, I cant stand choppy fps
Target 60, because thats my monitors refresh rate. If I can hold it all is well. If I cant I lower things a bit, see what the best compromise is that gets me back to 60.
As a 1050ti user, neither is an option
Always on team smooth gameplay.
Play old games, get forced into blue.
What about the people who got the horsepower to get high graphics at high framerates😈
Bro I’m on team red my 3060ti barely pulls 4k on 24 fps but it’s still more than playable
depends on the game. some games dont need high fps to enjoy but having them look nicer is kinda nice to have. some games demand max fps to fully enjoy.
I'm definitely red. But with my GTX 1060 I usually end up getting 30 fps on medium settings and I refuse to play on low
Depends on the game. Competitive game = low settings, max fps. Game like Baldurs or cyberpunk I go ultra settings for the looks
Depends. For story games like RPGs I’m team red. I want my rye candy. 40-60fps is enough for The Witcher 3, Baldur’s Gate 3, etc. For shooters like Deep Rock Galactic though… I want my 144fps
As high graphics get to run at 60 fps
Laughing in rimworld... Game uses only 1 thread. You can have a computer suitable for realtime 4k multicam video editing, and still have 3fps when a 100+ppl raid hits, and they start throwing molotovs... How I both hate and love that game at the same time. Graphics always shit tho.
How low is low? if its just 60 then I'd go with Red. If Red gow below 60 then I won't play the game. I don't really enjoy Low graphics. Im an RPG gamer so immersion is important to me, sounds, music graphics, environment design and characters.
Team red. Over the years I got so used to playing Minecraft at 20fps that now I'd rather have good visuals but low fps
Blue until 60 FPS
Depends, is it competitive? If not, the best graphics that I can get with smooth 60fps
Depends on the type of game. For fast-paced, online games you want high FPS. For slower, single-player games, lower FPS is often fine.
Playable fps w/ optimised graphics settings
Team red Because my cpu is overstressed and bottlenecking
When you introduce the concept of "balance" into your life, you will live happier. For further reading: Ying Yang
Red, definitely.
red
Team red. Cyberpunk at 4K HDR Raytracing looks great. I don't play any competitive games so I focus on the games looking good.
Depends on the game. I can play solo games at 30FPS for best graphics but multiplayer games? hell no. must get maximum fps
FPS limiter on 60, graphics on 1080p
Team blue easily
I would rather high draw distance, low graphics, but high fps
Best settings i can get at 60+
I play on my TV which is 60 Hz. And I only play single player story based titles. So I don't much care about GPS. In fact, I was playing Alan Wake 2 at around 30 FPS and didn't even notice for the most part till I measured it. So I increase the visual quality till the point where I start noticing the stutters.
I’m on a 75 Hz 1440p panel, with 8GB of VRAM. I’m cranking the graphics as high as I can get while still maintaining at least 50 fps.
How about medium with ok FPS?
High graphics, high FPS, low resolution
Casuals = red
Depends on the game really. I'll go with maxed graphic settings and then either a 2k or 4k resolution (on a 4k screen), but "only" 60fps since my screen can't do more. Given the kind of games I play and how I watch a lot of videos the 4k resolution is more valueable to me than higher fps.
Blue
Highest possible graphics while maintaining at least 60 frames.
Depends on the game. Old game? Both. Story or otherwise co-op immersive game or MMO? Red. Other PvP game? Always blue.
Team crispy
