The console player who made me stop ignoring frame pacing
I used to defend PC gaming with mostly raw FPS numbers, 120 and up felt like the only thing that mattered. Then a buddy who plays every game on a Series X pointed out my worst drop felt worse than his locked 60. He showed me my 1% lows were sitting around 45 fps even though the average looked fine. So I turned on the overlay and watched the pacing, not just the counter. Now I tune with capped framerates and reflex mode, and honestly my aim got better after I stopped obsessing over the high number. Has anyone else switched how they judge performance after hearing out a console guy?
