    No, it’s most definitely a choice. You can make any engine run at 60 FPS if you sacrifice something else for it. The RE engine runs beautiful games at 60 FPS, but they had to make all sorts of sacrifices to fidelity to get World Tour in Street Fighter 6 to run at all, let alone at 60 FPS on current gen consoles.

          I no longer trust triple A games on PC and if the game is not ridiculously busted optimisation wise for PC at release I would be amazed.

          That’s exactly why I mainly play on PC nowadays. I didn’t like PC gaming 10-15 years ago, but now I love being able to play at 4K60 / 1440p60 by downgrading settings I don’t care.

        I mean sure but give us the choice, damn it! :(

        Depends on what is causing the framerate issues. If it’s usual fidelity (resolution, draw distance, visual effects) then yes, they can provide options for those.

        If the framerate issues are due to physics, NPC/interactions, state-management then it’s unlikely they could or would want to provide options around that type of limitation.

          I’m kind of assuming it’s the latter, but if they have a decent amount of overhead, a 40fps uncapped mode would be a good option for VRR displays.
