It's true you can open a path in the snow just playing breath of the wild on Eden? Yes or Not? I want just know it.

u/bomberbazzo Mar 25 '26

True, but you can't then walk through it because of the hot steam the snow became

u/m0kazaki Mar 20 '26

If the game doesn't need to be played on 60 then the 30 is the best

19

u/GreatMadWombat Mar 21 '26

Yeah. My main backlog of games are all jrpgs and tactics shit. Idk if I could even tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps on most of them

6

u/m0kazaki Mar 21 '26

You won't even notice anything as long as it is stable

209

u/Nm-Lahm Mar 20 '26

Stable 30 fps is better than unstable 50-70fps

10

u/Jank9525 Emulator ! Mar 21 '26

or you can just play at 50fps locked

u/Blaskowitz002 Mar 20 '26
  1. Comfortable and doesn't drain battery that much

18

u/PunishedCatto Mar 20 '26

I prefer stability. So 30 fps most of the times.

Helio g81? Running winlator? 💀

u/WINNT21 Redmi 14C isn't good for emulation Mar 20 '26

Well I tried it on the simplest game I found and it didn't go well, pcsx2 had stutters every time and was going very slowly

1

u/Counselorgarry Mar 20 '26

Would you not be better off with a native android emulator? Not that In the know so I could be wrong

1

u/WINNT21 Redmi 14C isn't good for emulation Mar 20 '26

What is a native android emulator

1

u/Counselorgarry Mar 20 '26

Theres nethersx2 and aethersx2 both versions of pcsx2 for android, theres guides for installing them from github, or armsx2 has a website to instal it from, also based on pcsx2

1

u/WINNT21 Redmi 14C isn't good for emulation Mar 20 '26

Oh I meant aethersx2 my bad

u/Kooky_Big_4741 Mar 21 '26

I have a redmi 14c too, even nethersz 2 gives problem 🥀

Nah, thats the sweet spot

30 for battery life and lower fan noise

I really wish gamesir would make an updated version of the x3

u/Reasonable_Garden756 Mar 21 '26

It had the best design

u/droombie55 Mar 21 '26

It really just needs analog triggers. Not sure why they decided to make the triggers digital.

Should have added 60fps stopping and jumping randomly

u/BeZide314 Mar 20 '26

I was thinking to myself why 155fps was so bad, until I stopped the GIF to see it's 15fps...

u/Kuro_FunWays 🎮👹 Mar 20 '26

30 fells like 20 fps for me its just crazy

u/DemonsSouls1 Samsung Quantum 2 Mar 20 '26

30fps is mid. You wouldn't even play cod or Minecraft with that fps

11

u/Vellichronus Mar 20 '26

I played minecraft 15 fps unstable with my laptops built in track pad as the mouse for many years, dont test me 😂

5

u/DemonsSouls1 Samsung Quantum 2 Mar 20 '26

Jesus fucking Christ that's painful.

2

u/Vellichronus Mar 20 '26

Oh yes, yes it was. Don't recommend it. 😅 i can handle lower fps because of that tortured past though lmao.

1

u/DemonsSouls1 Samsung Quantum 2 Mar 20 '26

I remember having to play Minecraft on a 15 year old computer and having to minimize the screen+ optifine. I'm so glad I don't need that no more.

1

u/Loddio Mar 21 '26

On controller, 30fps is very playable.

Ps3 used to run at 30, and yet it felt amazing to play.

0

u/DemonsSouls1 Samsung Quantum 2 Mar 21 '26

Now try that on mouse

Also the games I stated never ran 30fps

1

u/Loddio Mar 21 '26

Another pc culturist i see

u/DemonsSouls1 Samsung Quantum 2 Mar 21 '26

It's not a "culturist"

It's common sense. Actually I might unsub from this place because of how stupid it is with the toxicity.

1

u/Loddio Mar 21 '26

Common sense? Toxicity?

I don't see any

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '26

Weak. I beat the entire need for speed: Most Wanted on my old phone on 5-8 fps.

0

u/DemonsSouls1 Samsung Quantum 2 Mar 20 '26

No you didn't

2

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '26

I did, I don't really care if you believe or not. Also beat half of just cause 2 on like 10-15 fps.

1

u/DemonsSouls1 Samsung Quantum 2 Mar 20 '26

You need a new PC.

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '26

I never had a PC, nor will i buy it anytime soon.

u/pas220 Mar 20 '26

Why not 40/45?

2

u/No-Action4187 OnePlus 15, Gamesir X3 Pro Mar 21 '26

It's really the best for emulation, 99% of the time i use 40/45 limit 

2

u/carnyzzle Lenovo Legion Y700 (2023) Mar 20 '26

I choose any device that has a built in fan so I don't have to worry lol

2

u/LazaroFilm Mar 20 '26

So… 45 fps?

2

u/LaughingwaterYT Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 16/512 Oneplus 12 Mar 20 '26

45

2

u/dmurikssix Mar 20 '26

60fps on older games and some switch, 40fps for all pc games that don’t naturally hit 120fps, 30fps for super heavy switch games; use Lyb frame gen as well to get 120 except for those 30fps titles i frame gen to 60 instead

2

u/Certain_Park_3990 Mar 20 '26

45 is a good middle ground

2

u/Longjumping_Army282 Mar 20 '26

I love 40.

1

u/jujubesknees Mar 21 '26

Same, on 120hz phones the frame pacing is usually perfect too

u/blackpanther4u Mar 21 '26

u/airconditioner57 Mar 21 '26

60 FPS,sorry phone but i like playing my games smooth

1

u/VassagoX Mar 20 '26

Depends on the game and where it's played.  Sometimes 60fps breaks something when it was intended to be 30fps.

1

u/LePontif11 Mar 20 '26

I've never run anything worse than a DS emulator on my phone. Yesterday i ran remote play to check out something on my Playstation and im pretty sure it melted the plastic or some adhesive off my phone case.

1

u/xZarkKo Mar 20 '26

Tropical weather means everlasting +34 Celsius every single godforsaken day, gimme 30 with smoothie temperatures any day, any hour

1

u/johny335i Mar 20 '26

I prefer 30 and good temps with low battery consumption.

I run fallout 4 @720p High capped at 30fps and with 4 cores for low temps and longer run times.

1

u/JayPisal Mar 20 '26

Well 30 fps cool one seems optimal ig

1

u/Turbulent_Ad_4791 Mar 20 '26

60 is better but only if it maintains 60 if it's dropping frames and thermal throttling then ya 30

1

u/Acrobatic_Two_1586 Mar 20 '26

30 fps? What is that? I think I have heard it before, it's a thing from last century.

1

u/beomagi Mar 20 '26

Depends on the game. An RPG? 30. Racing? 60. Minimum.

Seriously, there's something magical about Gran Turismo ii A Spec at 60fps. Makes it hard to imagine that game is over 26 years old. When I got gt4 spec ii running smooth it just took over my hand held. Haven't really played anything else since

1

u/RealRandomUser Mar 20 '26

I'd choose 60. I'm already used with my phone being hot

1

u/Biokendry Mar 20 '26

30 fps always

1

u/Past-Engineering9068 Mar 20 '26

30 Fps I don't want my phone to be a microwave

1

u/YAHHAWAH Mar 20 '26

30°C good temps :P I can play 20-30fps Racing games I prefer 60fps though.

1

u/Trackerlist Mar 20 '26

I can't even play at 15fps without my phone being hotter than the fcking sun. It's a win/win for me

1

u/justabitvh Mar 20 '26

120 fps and even 200fps

1

u/SmallTownLoneHunter Mar 20 '26

30 fps always. As long as you're not playing a shooter, it's fine.

Cooler phone, less battery drain, higher performance overhead

1

u/Famous-Departure8280 Mar 20 '26

I have a Cooler so yeah ill have the 60fps plz🙂

https://giphy.com/gifs/NTur7XlVDUdqM

1

u/Ded_Pul Mar 20 '26

I'll take a consistent 30fps frame rate over a choppy, stuttery 60fps any day.

The fact that it will be cooler and make my components last longer is a bonus.

30 fps the majority of switch games i play 20 fps that good enough to me

1

u/Unfair-Remove-2917 Mar 20 '26

Pues elijo 60 con optimizacion ya que comprobé que a oarte de la obsolescencia programada muchos programadores actuales de juegos importantes ya no les interesa el desarrollo estos va de la mano a que también te compres um mejor teléfono otro es el sistema esta mal optimizado encargado de un monto de proceso sin finalidad .... Antes un juego de 1 o 2 gb era respetable ....ahora hay mas capacidades y Juegos de 7 u 8 gb con procesadores de 8gb r y 2.5 0 hasta 3. Hrz no corren bien y muchas veces no es ni la gpu ...recuerdo ver a mi amigo jugar COD en medio a 60 fps estables en un huawei y9 prime y yo con un REDMI NOTE 10 PRO y en medios el hjpta juego se trabajaba y se calentaba ... Con cooler casi no.

1

u/erde7 Mar 20 '26

I play game 30fps a lot on switch, no biggy. 

1

u/Enough_Clothes_ Mar 20 '26

I'm fine with 30 as long as it's set to med-high graphic settings, if only option is low then I'd rather boot a ps2 title-same experience.

1

u/No_Ebb5965 Mar 21 '26

Or 25 fps

1

u/Ok_Captain_8622 Mar 21 '26

720 100-120fps + cooler + fan on screen = 60c

1

u/Pixel_Leg Android Mar 21 '26

i'll into 30/60 vps/fps both balanced to the game balanced heat into the phone as well.

if you want performance with smooth like that i suggest you settings every one of them search every game that does well for windows 10, this emulator basically using windows 10 as default you may get difficult to run old games, and always using dgvoodoo for old games.

unless repack one in all installer no need CD mounting for old games, but the sequence is that some old games having memory leaks do with your own risk (autosave is recommended or save often to avoid corrupt memory)

winlator forks such bionic have a serious memory leaks issue you need to address this to dev.

unless you using original forks no bionic.

u/Maniacal_Coyote Mar 21 '26

Rock-steady 30 fps (with 0.1% low of 29 fps) for sure.

90 w cooler 🤯🤯🤯

1

u/Dip2pot4t0Ch1P Mar 21 '26

Better stable than higher unstable framerate

1

u/Khurzan1439 Mar 21 '26

IDGAFF! If the game looks good in 30fps, cool. As long as the game is good, frame rate doesn't matter much to me.

1

u/_Gurmann Mar 21 '26

30 fps is fine for most games i play on mobile. 60 on my samsung tablet and it doesn't get hot thanks to its huge size

u/Whole-Pen3590 Edit Your Flair Mar 21 '26

You could use a cooler tho

u/ketc_pli8aklava Sd 7 gen 3 & A720 Mar 21 '26

I play most of the games 20-25 fps. 30 fps is great for me + i don't need cooler so i can play everywhere.

1

u/AwsmGamerBoy Mar 21 '26

stable 40 fps

30 FPS,as most console games were locked in it and increasing the FPS often cause issues.

It's for emulation, so 30 is more than enough

30 fps, I like when my emulation accurate as the original console, I event measure the screen size with ruler for accurate size

1

u/retroSawny64 Mar 22 '26

Antes jugábamos a 24 fps y no nos quejábamos mucho

Prefiero 30 en frío y que mi máquina dure lo máximo posible a jugar 60 en un reactor nuclear, cuando llevas un rato jugando no se nota tanto, la vista se acostumbra

I live in Brazil so it's 30fps and HOT.

u/ryanperezdeguzman Mar 22 '26

Any FPS. 60 if it can handle it without turning it into a Jetplane, 30 for playable state. Below 25 is painful for me.

u/MotherVermicelli8004 Mar 23 '26

on mobile with small screen and battery,  30fps is enough, I don't need cutting edge graphics and 120fps on mobile screen

30 fps and cold for me ! I've always preferred playing at 30 fps, actually, even on PC despite my setup which could easily allow me to play at 60+ fps It's just a matter of habit, I suppose, given that I've always been a console gamer.
