On consoles, given option, do you go for fidelity/graphics or performance mode?

[Dust]

For the sake of argument, assume you can only pick one of those, nothing in-between.

Curious to see what people prefer. I honestly do not care for native 4K that much but I like graphical bells and whistles. On the other hand 60 FPS in action games is really important. I usually lean into 60 FPS.

 

[Lashley]

Performance.

 

[Angie]

Fidelity.

I do love some pretty graphics

 

[Cipher Peon]

Fidelity for me! I can't ever tell 60 FPS during gameplay so I'll stick with making things prettier :)

 

[LightKiosk]

Performance if it's at least 1440p rendered with 60FPS.

 

[Bundy]

Depends on the genre/game.

Fidelity a lot of times.

 

[Kindekuma]

For me if it's a last gen game playing on current gen, it's visual fidelity. If it's current gen, and it has the options, I'll favor performance.

 

[M.Bluth]

Depends on the game.
Demon's Souls looked pretty much identical between the two modes, so it was pretty easy to choose the 60fps.
Miles Morales, on the other hand (since I played it at launch before RT Perf update) I went with all the bells and whistles. I used the 60fps mode for the endgame to get the trophies.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

The same as I do on PC.

On the PS4 Pro it's whichever option that makes the console run more quiet.

There's a huge difference between 1080p and 1440p

but that said, performance every time.

We just had this thread erleir this week..

 

[secretanchitman]

Performance if it means going from 30FPS to 60FPS at 1080p or higher.

I'll occasionally turn on fidelity mode to see the nice graphics for a few minutes (Spider-Man and Miles Morales).

 

[EvilBoris]

Nowadays mostly performance

 

[The Real Napsta]

Depends on the game, but mostly performance.

 

[cowbanana]

Performance.

 

[-Le Monde-]

I've gone for performance every single time so far.

 

[Slaythe]

It needs to be a good compromise.

I want 60 but I want my game to look good and retain some next gen features.

 

[Deleted member 85465]

60 fps makes the game look and play better than 30 fps, so its performance for me.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

Performance matters for me ultimately. Hell, playing older games with higher FPS helps make them feel less outdated/more fresh (to a point) for me as well.

Ideally I want both, but gun to my head I go performance.

 

[The Omega Man]

I am waiting for an "extra fidelity" option, more ray tracing 8k at 10 fps.
Screw gameplay, it's all about that immersion those shiny ponds and reflections achieve.

 

[dancingphlower]

Performance unless the framerate isn't locked 60.

 

[Sprat]

Fidelity always. Its very rare that i prefer games in 60fps+ even on PC I lock to 30 and crank everything up

 

[Etrian Darkness]

Performance. I'm playing a game first and foremost, not watching.

 

[lmcfigs]

i didnt realize there were 1440p games on ps5

 

[RockmanBN]

Performance 60fps everytime. Don't care for the extra resolution or pretty bells and whistles.

 

[Deleted member 4869]

First playthrough on Fidelity Mode. Second playthrough on Performance Mode.

Voted for Fidelity.

 

[Glio]

It depends on the game. Especially if it is turn-based or does not have very frenetic action, sometimes I prefer 30FPS and better graphics.

 

[Stoney Mason]

We are getting this thread every couple of days now.

 

[N.47H.4N]

The prettiest version for sure.

 

[Acquiesc3]

On consoles: (1800p/60) > 1440p/60 > 4K/30 > 1080p/60

I basically try to get 60fps as much as possible without going to fucking 1080p.

"But but 1080p is perfectly fine!"

Not on a 4K tv it fucking isn't, stfu.
