PC gamers won’t tolerate 30fps.
Most pc gamers play on shitty integrated gpu laptops and play stuff like LoL, they’ll be just fine with 30fps in heavy games like BG3. PC snobs, however, will complain incessantly.
Here in brazil, a lot of people play ganes with even less than 30 fps, as long as it works. People just want to have fun and will use what’s available to them.
For sure, I am from a developing country too. :) My laptop has a Nvidia 760M from the early 2010s, I don’t really get 30 fps even on low end games.
My general comment was that expectations around 30 fps have changed a bit in the last ~15 years, where even non hardcore (well off) PC gamers generally appreciate 30+ fps. Even some of the newer iGPUs from both AMD and Intel are aiming for a somewhat better gaming experience (relative to earlier efforts).
You’re right, expectations for games have increased a lot. I was just trying to break the black and white thinking that gamers won’t tolerate lower frame rates at all. Hardcore ones really won’t, but casual ones who don’t buy their machines focused on gaming are likely to play something every now and then, with lower expectations ans settings.
if AI is rebuilding every frame I hope it’s accurate to what the internals of the game are thinking. Nobody wants the AI to show you things that the game doesn’t agree with and have you failing at whatever game task you’re doing
