Is this an OLED problem or something?

I have a normal LED and it is very smooth at 30fps

I have LG OLED C1 which can go up to 120 FPS and the demo didn't give me an initial option to do performance/graphical so by default it put me at graphical and it just felt really off when traveling around the village. I might play with it a bit and gauge the FPS in both settings but off the bat, it was a substantial difference for me. I was initially trying to turn the motion blur off but found out it was defaulted to graphical so changed it to performance and it just ran better for me. Still some blur but nothing like it was in the previous option. I am sure there will be a guide on the best TV setting for this game pretty shortly so will be all over that.

 

[Luipadre]

Started in graphics and never looked back. Looks great, plays great and the input lag is good despite being 30 fps

 

[StueyDuck]

Graphormance mode all the way

 

[Represent.]

Graphics mode. It’s the default mode and the mode used for capturing trailer footage for a reason

 

[Zuzu]

I’ll probably primarily play on graphics mode for my first play through but I may switch to performance when doing some side quests and casually exploring the world.

 

[FoxMcChief]

30fps since my eyes are strong unlike a pussy pc player

I’m really starting to get you.

OLED changes pixel almost instantly so with low refresh content changes in motion are more "juddery":

High end LCDs are also way faster than old LCD tvs. I remember that I was ok with 30fps games in PS4 era on my 1080p VA Samsung tv but I'm not okay on LG OLED and many higher end LCD users are probably in similar position.

 

[scydrex]

Will wait for them to improve the performance mode or ps5 pro.

 

[CityHunter1981]

Graphics. I don’t mind 30 fps for a game such as Rebirth.

I mean I grew up with an Amstrad CPC, then Commodore 64 and finally Famicon and lived through all major consoles since then and in most games we didn’t even had stable 30 fps.
People these days are spoiled.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

I thought I would go graphic mode but the Kalm demo didn’t play well and switching to performance mode (post-patch) I noticed no difference in visuals, no blur like people were saying, so it was an easy choice to switch to performance mode. I’m going to try both ways again in the full game.

 

[TrebleShot]

Ive given both a fair go on my breaks inbetween calls today and its a tough one, always is.

Graphics mode looks infinitely better, say what you want about motion blur, its just better, more depth, graphics looks much better too and some effects are either removed or not visible on the perf mode.

Perf mode nice and smooth of course but the blur is very distracting, it sort of reminds me of if you were to load up an old PS3 game and your instantly hit with this low res fuzzy effect.

Cant get over the artefacting on elements too like the hair and finer details, looks so shit and quite distracting. Of course, you can see things in motion but if what your seeing looks like crap does it really matter?

I think its like the original on PS4, 30 for now then 60 on the PRO or 120 on pc.

 

[Osthyvel]

Graphics no doubt.

 

[MikeM]

Neither. Waiting for PC.

 

[Valt7786]

Graphics mode for now, but fuck me I wish it had a 40fps option. This is a massive exclusive release, no excuse not to have one nowadays.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I think I'm going to wait for this to get patched to death first and preferably with a 40fps patch before I jump in.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Graphics mode actually plays really well, but fingers crossed for a 40fps update.

 

[sendit]

Performance. 30FPS has too much motion blur for it to be playable. Perfectly fine for screenshots.

 

[AJUMP23]

The Graphics that is what matters.

 

[Danjin44]

Given the choice ALWAYS performance.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Neither. 60+fps with maximum graphics.

 

[Danjin44]

Graphics mode. It’s the default mode and the mode used for capturing trailer footage for a reason

I'm more surprised you planning play this, I thought you hate this type of games.

 

[Audiophile]

I honestly think the platform holders should be mandating every game has a 40fps mode at this point.

 

[Luipadre]

Performance. 30FPS has too much motion blur for it to be playable. Perfectly fine for screenshots.

What? 30fps mode has 0 camera motion blur...thats why it looks juddery on oled tvs

 

[proandrad]

What is this a cnn poll? Request to change the first option to “Graphics - high res (terrible framerate).”

 

[Skelterz]

I’m in the minority here possibly but I’ll play in performance mode and think back to playing games like BOTW & Xenoblade 2 and how there were moments on switch i thought to myself, “I wished this looked a little better” but it never made that much of an impact on how fantastic the game was.

Should it look like this in performance no
Will you still enjoy the game yes
Does it make it right no
Did you enjoy BOTW yes

Just play the game.

 

[FoxMcChief]

What is this a cnn poll? Request to change the first option to “Graphics - high res (terrible framerate).”

CNN poll question doesn’t match your Fox News option.

 

[danklord]

If you start on Graphics and never change to Performance you get used to it.

 

[saintjules]

Has anyone tried playing Graphics Mode and then turn on Tru Motion via their TV settings? Curious if that would help with juddering.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Always performance

This is correct!

 

[Kenneth Haight]

If you start on Graphics and never change to Performance you get used to it.

If you only eat McDonald’s and never eat steak you get used to it

 

[danklord]

If you only eat McDonald’s and never eat steak you get used to it

Ignorance is bliss!

 

[TrebleShot]

In the DF video they say forcing the PS5 to output 1440p helps with image quality on perf mode.

The Graphics mode is giving me a migraine

 

[StereoVsn]

Neither for me. Going to wait till either a fix to Performance mode or PC release.

 

[StereoVsn]

Is this an OLED problem or something?

I have a normal LED and it is very smooth at 30fps

OLED doesn’t deal well with 30 FPS due to pixels being instant on and off. Motion Blur could help but SE doesn’t seem to have camera motion blur.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Graphics mode always.

 

[Kings Field]

Graphics mode.

 

[Revolutionary]

Graphics mode looks excellent.

Performance does not.

 

[TrebleShot]

Graphics mode looks excellent.

Performance does not.

Graphics mode looks clean but will induce horrible headaches on OLED

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

If you only eat McDonald’s and never eat steak you get used to it

I always laugh when people say "just force yourself to play it the shitty way and you'll get used to it after awhile". This doesn't work for really anything, at least not logically.

 

[Bojji]

With this game you have:

Bad option to okay it
Another bad option to play

There are options for developers with TAAU reconstruction or/and 40fps to have decent performance with good IQ and they didn't bother.

Thanks to Sony we also are forced to play it on PS5, only people that can play it decently are 1080p tvs owners.

 

[Hestar69]

60 fps over anything.

 

[Senua]

I have a normal LED and it is very smooth at 30fps

Hmm

 

[TalentBurke]

Performance mode...I'm fine with playing the original game with ps1 graphics even now. I'll play it again when the ps5 pro comes out.

 

[sendit]

Just play the game.

You made the right choice. Graphic mode blows. People who are saying it's smooth probably have frame interpolation enabled on their TVs which introduces even more input lag.

 

[Interfectum]

Tifa's tits in 4k quality.

Yup, I'd watch them in 4K at 5fps if I had to.

 

[TrebleShot]

I’ve settled on Performance mode.

 

[nikos]

Both - waiting for PC.

 

[vkbest]

Performance mode, you are playing a game, not playing a picture with 3x-4x zoom like others gaffers here.

 

[Zathalus]

After the demo I decided to wait for the PC version.

Slight alteration on this, totally forgot about my Portal and the 60fps mode looks fine on it. So I guess 60fps then.

 

[protonion]

I played a couple of hours with graphics mode.

It's great.

Except for racing games and FPS I never understood the 30 frames drama.
