Performance And Quality Graphics Modes - Which Is Better?

Many video games now offer a Performance and Quality mode. But what is the difference between the two and which should you game with?

Depends on the genre and how the modes are executed for me personally. Like i don't need 60fps for something like R&C where it's not the most reflex dependent gameplay, so in cases like that i pick visuals. However some games have very solid performance modes with almost no discernible difference, and in some games both modes suck 🤷‍♂️

I would agree when I was playing 30fps games on ps4 but after playing nothing but 60fps on ps5 and then hop on 30fps for a little bit I say the hell with 30fps performance all day imo.

Bemi845d ago

This is exactly it for me! It is hard for me to go back :(

darthv72845d ago

Same here. I choose performance over quality for that reason but also because my old eyes cant really tell the difference in quality mode. So why waste the performance on something that I may or may not even notice.

Kurt Russell844d ago

Yep once you've had a taste of 60fps for a while, it's very hard to go back. Performance mode for me.

SurgicalMenace845d ago

I'm with Isarai on this one. It all depends on the game, 60 is fine but in no way necessary to play every type of game. I tend to choose performance when the game has a lot of timing based mechanics versus fidelity when the game play isn't as demanding.

Flawlessmic845d ago

I literally play all my games in quality mode, give me the extra fidelity.

I barely notice the extra fps, as long as games are rock solid at 30 it's fine for me

Jin_Sakai845d ago

I will always pick performance mode no matter what game or genre. More responsive controls and smoother gameplay.

For FPS I prefer performance modes, accept Fortnight. When playing it in graphics mode, on Series X my FPS rarely drops below 60fps, as your FPS are displayed up top.

There was only one time I was dropping in, from the party bus, and my FPS went all over the place. I mean below 26 fps. I quit that game before landing. Dropped right back in, and was back at 60fps. Must have been the server.

Have to say, it's fun to stop playing Fortnight for awhile. Then go back to see what's changed. Pretty impressive Unreal Engine 5.1 upgrades to visuals, without losing 60fps. Of coarse it's just an island, and not a massive open world game.

I’ve pretty much been doing performance for everything. On my PC I play maxed settings 3440 x 1440p performance if available. On my 4k tv for PS5 or Series X I always play performance.

Mostly because we have hit the point of diminishing returns with graphics. Quality never seems to really do anything significant over performance these days.

XxINFERNUSxX845d ago

30FPS in 2023 should never be a thing, going into the future all games should be 60FPS at the very least with settings maxed or close to it at 4K. I game mostly on PC but, for me the sweet spot is FPS in the 100s's. Future game consoles need to try to get the best PC video card specs at the time of development so future games will not suffer.

andy85845d ago

The last few games I've played I've really struggled to see a difference between the two modes. Certainly not enough to give up 60+ fps for.

Where is the time going, this is 2 now? Also, RE4 remake and Diablo 4…

Putte6h ago

Absolutely not the best Star Wars game. That's Star Wars galaxys. Survivor isn't even that good

Becuzisaid6h ago

Not sure I agree about Galaxies, but I definitely think the Jedi series is not the best.

Sonic18815h ago

So what's the best Jedi series?

Becuzisaid1h ago

@Sonic I was meaning the Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor games. Not the greatest.

If you're wanting to know what's the best series with Jedi in it? I mean KOTOR, Jedi Knight, Jedi Academy, Force Unleashed off the top of my head. Even the Episode 3 tie in game was pretty decent.

Fonsecap6h ago

Good game, terrible performance.

jznrpg3h ago

I loved the game but hated the issues. I waited over a year to play it and it still had major issues. I would have went for the platinum but with all the save bugs and other issues I didn’t even think about it

Sciurus_vulgaris1h ago

I’ve played both Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor. I think the games are good not great.
