What are your other system specs if you can get 30 fps with a 3060?

I don’t know about 30 but solid 40 is actually pretty damn usable.

In an Action game like Cyberpunk 30FPS is nearly unplayable for me, but in a game like BG3 yeah sure.

For modern PC games: a very solid 40+ with 0.1% lows always above 30FPS is “very OK” for single player games. 1% lows above 35FPS. Very playable and enjoyable. “Good enough”.
An actual 30FPS average is not playable, at least not for me. Feels bad and unresponsive.
Still, the ideal is always a 60+ average with 0.1% lows always above 45FPS and 1% lows above 50FPS. That’s what I’d call a very good experience.
Now, personally, a great experience with single player games is actually a buttery smooth 75+ average FPS with 0.1% lows always above 50FPS and 1% lows always above 60FPS. That’s very near perfection. Things become so fluid at this point with a good monitor… that’s what I aim for whenever possible.
At ~90FPS+ average, one has reached the perfect experience in my opinion, but it’s so hard to do for modern demanding single player games…
Above around ~120FPS I honestly don’t feel any difference at all anymore, even on competitive games… but that’s just me (and I have a 240hz monitor, tested this already).
PS: all the above is without the use of fake frames, BTW.

30 fps is perfectly playable, especially with gsync.

I find Cyberpunk to be unplayable at 30fps unfortunately

I can NEVER go back to 30fps unless it’s an old game like the Zeldas or im playing with a emulator. I’m very much spoiled when I bought my 3090. If you can still stand 30 fps and don’t have money to burn do NOT upgrade above 60 fps. It will ruin your games.

I set my FPS cap to reflect how warm my room is. If it’s a cold day I drop it.

I’d play 720p before i play 30fps on any pc title. Actually i rather not even play the game if i can’t get above 30fps. 30fps on pc looks worse on pc
reality_slaps
60fps has become the standard today. 30 fps is definitely playable but it will feel like slow-motion

I played Cyberpunk for the first time in 4K with a 3060. Low settings with DLSS performance got me 60 fps.
Glittering_Ruin4963
I play cyberpunk on ultra graphics with around 50 fps

Cyberpunk is a singleplayer game, why would you need 3048395 fps?
half-baked_axx
Honestly its fine for me at 4K playing on my living room’s TV. The RX 6700 has enough balls to give me a solid 40 on cyberpunk at 2160p with fsr (no RT ofc). And older games at native 4K. DX11 games like Red Dead 2 can get to hit 60.

I do the same except with Ray Tracing Off as a whole

I got a curved 32:9 for sim racing. I love the immersion in other titles, but 30fps is not acceptable with choppy fast motion across that large FOV. Very disorientating and headache inducing. I always toggle fidelity settings to aim for 70-90 fps. Diminishing returns not worth fidelity loss after 90 imo.
MHWGamer
don’t you guys get headaches when playing with such low fps? even for slow controller games, I can play max 90 minutes (and I even just streamed GoW via PSnow(?), so streaming smooths it out a little more)
50 fps are ok-ish, 60 is totally fine for slower games. For a fast fps like cyberpunk it is impossible for me. 60+ is a must, best 90-144. Doom Eternal in 144fps is perfection

*”Look!*
*Look here, look, listen!”*
30fps was all we had when the first Nintendo came out of the oven…and those were just the official on the box specs.
Was your game ***Always*** going to run at 30fps?
No. =(
Sometimes link would walk down the stairs into a dungeon, the bunnies would bounce, the music would slow down and there you’d be…linking along at 6FPS until those lag bunnies were DEAD.
It was a part of LIFE!
We didn’t *love it*, but we made due.
And now…35 years later, things haven’t changed much!
Sometimes, Urist will walk down the stairs into a fort, The goblins begin to attack, The music kicks in and there you’ll be… Dwarving along at 6FPS until those goblins are DEAD.
***TLDR: Lag…Lag never changes.***

30 fps, unplayable. 60 fps. Bare minimum. 100+fps. Preferred

Has to be one of Jensen’s burner accounts. Nobody could be this brainwashed.

A solid 30 FPS is good *enough.*
Ult1mateN00B
Not trying to be elitist but honestly to me 30fps is literally painful. I would literally cut every setting to achieve at least 50fps.
Top_Anteater_6076
30fps is awful anything below 60 is
BannedIn01
A 3060 should be getting more than 30fps on a 3 year old game
TristanTheRobloxian3
yes it is actually lol.
consistent 30: 👍
swinging between 10 and 200: FUCKING HORRIBLE
any consistent fps is good
Happlord
You’re part of the problem
BestNick118
Honestly kinda the same. I have a 7800 xt and I will play cyberpunk at ultra with medium ray tracing (+all the other features) at 45 fps and enjoy it. Under 45 fps tho it becomes a powerpoint presentation.
PhatManSNICK
No. You need 650 fps even though your eye can only track at most 30 fps on average.
Squeaky_Ben
30 fps is playable the same way that american beer is drinkable. Make of that what you will.
unibrowcowmeow
I played destiny on Xbox one when it came out capped at 30 fps and thought it was fine. I remember halo 5 coming out and having max 60 fps, grinding the shit out of that, going back to destiny and being disgusted by the choppy/framey-ness of it. I will take high frames over visual fidelity any day on any game, I simply cannot enjoy sub 60 fps. It’s fine if you do, but I can’t relate. Once you go 100+ FPS, there’s no going back

24fps… Cinematic experience 🤣
