Who plays games at 30fps? I'm fairly sure 60 is industry standard now no?

Baldurs gate 3 split screen is 30fps

For games like that it doesn't matter so much.

If Call of Duty ran at 30 they'd never hear the last of it.

Hello Doom 1/2 and its 35 FPS by default!

Even most console games run at 60 now, with an option to turn on some RT graphical wankery and run at 30.

I often turn it on to see what it looks like, and then decide it's not worth it. Ratchet and Clank actually played decently at 30, and one of the Ghostwire Tokyo options allowed you to have RT and decent framerates with a minor hit to resolution.

Gsync/Freesync/VRR is a game changer for lower end hardware, because then all those dips below 60 get smoothed out to an even 45 or so. I've spent a lot less time fucking about with setting on PC since getting a monitor that supports that.
