Whats more important to you when gaming

Frame rates, not even close

Have PC + XSX + PS5

Depends entirely on what you’re playing. If you’re playing competitive online shooters, fps is king. If you’re playing graphically intensive single player narrative games, as long as you’re getting a decent and, more importantly consistent, frame rate, resolution is more important.

As an example, I’m currently playing Horizon Forbidden West at a rock solid 70fps or so, so I see no reason to reduce graphical settings from max. If I were at 50fps, that would be a different story.

Moving from PS5/X to PC, mainly dove into Helldivers II and Horizon FW, type games..

Ill keep the X if i ever pick CoD back up, but thinking i might try BF on pc just to see whats what..

Definitely refresh rate.

I have a Series X and PC. On PC I run 1440 on 165 Hz

To shift more to a monitor shopping stance, regardless of what I play, I would never buy a monitor that’s lower than 120hz, ideally 144hz. With the advent of variable refresh rate technology, there’s just no reason, outside of cost, to go lower. You won’t always get that frame rate, but again, unless you’re super cost sensitive, no reason not to have it as an option.

Personally, I have a 3440x1440 (1440p ultrawide) with a max refresh of 144fps. I plan to run that for about another half decade or so, then once gpu tech can push it, I’ll buy a 5k/2k (4k ultrawide), likely around 144fps again, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Honestly, the more interesting questions at this point revolve around tech, from IPS to OLED, and everything in between.

Frames. 5600x, 6950 XT.

I run 4k/144 and never plan on dropping down below 4k ever again

For any game that even resembles something falling anywhere under the very wide sub genre of “action games” frame rate will always be better because those games require a degree of skill how much so depending on each game and your ability to output that skill adequately is much better with higher frame rates.

It’s why playing BB feels a bit quaint to me as the game is locked to 30 FPS. I’m used to it by now for sure so it’s factored into my play but imagine a FromSoft game launching like that now. I haven’t played elden ring in forever but I remember around launch it struggled bigly holding 60 fps on pretty much all platforms but I imagine that’s all ironed out by now but it was a big deal for some.

Then go play a game extremely like those in lies of P and it’s ps5 performance mode pretty much has held 60fps since day 1 as I recall and the difference between 45-60 in that game could be winning and losing
