For those who don't know, you want to cap your fps to a number just below the average framerate it would normally get while playing the game. The reason is that it can save resources and allocate them to the game in case something happens that requires extra computing power meaning you won't stutter and drop frames as much. Playing on uncapped or way higher above your average means that you're always running at max power and when something happens that needs more resources from your pc, you drop frames and that's usually when your game starts feeling rough and not smooth.
I feel like pros over exaggerate 60fps. As a PlayStation player, 60fps isn’t even that bad, pc players just overreact and say “it’s so bad I can’t barely pick up weapons” when it’s literally normal frames for us
So... I guess I'll explain. When I first got my pc and I saw 120 hz for the first time, I thought to myself "Wow, this is so smooth." But over time it just started to feel normal. When I decided to switch back to 60 hz, it felt really jaggedy. Yeah, pros say it's unplayable and they're kinda right. But all they really have to do is get used to playing on 60 hz and it'll work itself out.
The nintendo switch has a small screen, while lachlan has a full sized monitor. So while the resolution would technically be the same, the switch would have a much higher ppi at 720p compared to lachlans monitor. Not only that, but if he is using a 1080p monitor (im not sure what he uses so im including this just in case), you would have a really weird ratio to downsample by, causing the theoretical pixel pitch of the 1080p downsampled 720p to vary, causing an even worse image. Obv that wouldnt be a problem if he uses a 1440p monitor but again idk if he uses 1080p or 1440p
As a switch player since chapter 1 season 4 and still going, it’s nice hearing a pc player actually say that we deserve respect, especially since nowadays my switch typically maxes at 20fps
The human eye thing isn’t true when it comes to gaming and stuff, that 66.5 fps you say is irl and physical things moving irl, on a gaming monitor that has say 360hz will most definitely feel smoother and give you a slight competitive advantage
its bc its what your used to. If you play on higer frames and get used to it going down feels like playing in half speed basically. Thats how it feels when i play on 120fps then turn it to 60. The thinga you were able to do comfortably on 120 you cant do on half the frames
I respect all switch players because some are good and they play on thirty frames. I tried it once and it is actually so insanely hard. For Context: I’m a 360 fps pc player.
I am glad you did this video, because I play on a switch and its hard do good when your running a solid 30 fps, its hard to aim, build and edit, that is why i am glad you made this video so people can see how hard it is to play on switch.
I am a cracked switch player. I have gotten diamond and elite every season and yes I can confirm this is the gameplay I also have gotten already over 30 wins this season but it is so difficult
I saw that Lachlan was still friends with sync when he died in the first game, and that makes me happy that there still friends hope he joins back soon. Lachlan let Sync join back you can clearly tell hes change since back then, and can tell that he is truly sorry for what he said and not just have some fake apology.Hope you read this😄
i used to play on switch and i hit diamond 1 but now that i play on ps5 it feels not a lot better but my nintendo is 6-7 years old i could also do triple edits
The human eye can see infinite fps, if you compare 60fps and 120fps side to side there is a difference (if you dont believe me there are videos, look them up), and life is IN infinite fps, there are no frames irl, yes to the human eye 60 fps is "smooth animation" but the more frames you have, the better advantage you have above other players, also when you get a new pc always make sure to go into settings and change your max fps (of the monitor you have) in the settings of your pc, otherwise you will be at the defult 60 fps no matter what setting you change in a game
Let me explain. The avergae human sees about 38 fps more or less. But your fps is mainly depended on your monitor, because if you have a 70 Hz monitor you'll get a max of 70 fps, if it shows you are getting 300 fps, it only means your pc can handle 300 fps, but if you only have a 60 or 120 or 70 Hz, you will only get that refresh rate.
I'll say that for watching something the difference between 60fps and higher wouldn't be noticeable but when you're playing a game and really focusing it would probably be different
as a top level player with a crapy pc, yes, frames do win games, i get like 120 on average but i get massive lag spikes every few seconds where i cant move or my frames dip to 0 and every now and then i will straight up lag out cause my pc cant handle the loads from the game, and after having fortnite open but not playing a game for longer than 30 minutes ill have to restart cause then ill have a match where ill lag the entire time on 500+ ping and 10 fps max, and to people who say dont blame your system or wifi for losing, i absolutely can cause i almost always lose cause of it, i have to play in a specific way to try and predict when ill lag so i dont die, and i still get unreal every season
I play on my school laptop with my fps fluctuating from 0 fps to 60. I play with my little brother and one of my best friends. They are equally as laggy, and we have won back to back games. Once we won 3 in a row. Very rare occurrences but still. On average, 30 fps isn't actually that bad.
Fr 30 fps is normal to me, been playing on switch for so long and won a game of champion ranked with it, it is difficult and it is hard, but its normal for me and im guessing others too
If you didn't notice a difference the whole video, sometimes UA-cam renders videos below 720 or even 1080p at 30 fps, which is the lowest in the video. If you go into your settings and change it to 720p60 or any number with "60" after the p, you'll notice a difference
30fps is playable on switch because the screen is slot smaller than a monitor so you only need 30fps on switch for it to look like a 30 inch monitor with 360 fps
At 9:24 of the video, i thought it was a something that only happened to me but that weird one shot lag bug happens to everyone else's too. Also, squad can be very very laggy
You might not be able to really see FPS higher than 60, but really it's the motion which feels smoother and your brain definitely registers that. Ask any normal human if they can tell the difference between 60 and 120 and they definitely will.
I always hated when people say "there's no point in getting more frames because they can only see up to like 60fps anyways" because they clearly don't understand it
I play at 60 on PC. I wish my PC was better and then I would run higher frames but 60 is fine enough. It's perfectly playable and not laggy in the slightest.
Ik I use PS5 but my TV only alows me to do 60 FPS and it feels good imo. Probably cuz I have never used anything above it but the way Lachlan is saying. It feels like mine is trash
I’m a Nintendo player on OCE I’m 11 yrs old and get crazy placement in ranked and tournaments I’m in diamond this season and got to elite last season when you have played your hole life of 30 fps it’s not that bad
I play on switch and I always think that it only gets laggy when it is frame by frame (yes my switch can lag like that) and I can still sometimes pop off vs either same skill pc players and PlayStation players 🦞
Lachy complaing that its so laggy on 60 fps😤 Me on my switch on 30 fps with a peak rank of plat 2 😃 Me chilling at a steady 17 fps on mobile with a peak rank of diamond 1 and not complaning 🗿
As a switch player i can confidently say 30fps is hard to deal with. Just playing on my friends playstation every now and then is like a whole new game. Not to even mention how bad the details for everything on a switch is compared to every other way to play fortnite.😅
I play on nintendo switch for fortnite everyday 30fps:(. Its half broken and glitches most the time. If i go right or left once with my joystick it spamms left or right all the way. Its the only way i can offord to play the game we all love.
Ok but 30 fps is pretty tame. Try playing with a system that at the lowest graphics possible, it barely gets 20 fps and it also lags here and there. What i mean is that when someone shoots, you have a few milliseconds that your screen is just frozen (0 fps). Yeah that's my life Okay but tbh i think the graphics still looks better than Nintendo
I play on PlayStation to 60 fps isn’t even bad. 😂 60 fps is normal for console players who don’t have a Tv that can support 120 fps on the next gen consoles. I have a ps5, but I just play on 60 fps on my Tv I have 😂. I started on switch I used to be cracked on switch then I upgraded to ps4 😂
True pros will be able to dominate at 60 and 120/144 fps. Higher is simply rapidly diminishing returns. I will say, for me, 60 fps is so choppy compared to 144, and I thought 60, and even 30, was smooth before. Anything above that and I bet I wouldn't notice a thing.
For those who don't know, you want to cap your fps to a number just below the average framerate it would normally get while playing the game. The reason is that it can save resources and allocate them to the game in case something happens that requires extra computing power meaning you won't stutter and drop frames as much.

Bro I play on 2 fps on pc
should've fully embraced "Switch Mode" and also dropped your resolution to 720p lol
The nintendo switch has a small screen, while lachlan has a full sized monitor. So while the resolution would technically be the same, the switch would have a much higher ppi at 720p compared to lachlans monitor.

Obv that wouldnt be a problem if he uses a 1440p monitor but again idk if he uses 1080p or 1440p
Yea
And get the joycons
bro says he is "literally blind" playing the game at the exact same frames that we're watching it at
I was so worried cause there was like 10 people around ahaha
As a switch player since chapter 1 season 4 and still going, it’s nice hearing a pc player actually say that we deserve respect, especially since nowadays my switch typically maxes at 20fps
Always found it funny how the only thing that can run insane FPS is the only one able to use performance mode 😂
Any switch player that is even halfway decent deserves a lot of respect.
Thanks

Hi Lachlan I’m such a huge fan of your videos and your videos are what got me into Fortnite
got to love the fact of the whole changes from frame to frame and when it gets lower feels bad since that's my normal :(
its hell being a switch player but im used to it at this point
Lachy says 165fps is bad, im screaming omg 10fps with phone😂
great vid lachy. keep up the good work
watching this as a switch player hurts…😢
30fps is playable on switch because the screen is slot smaller than a monitor so you only need 30fps on switch for it to look like a 30 inch monitor with 360 fps
As a PC player, I like it locked at 60fps, I'm used to it, and my monitor only does 72hz.
It’s true if you have more fps your command renders faster causing you to have less delay and edit faster and shoot faster
still wont stop till i get in pwr grinding so much
me chilling w 20 fps
Been loving the great content lately Lachlan! Always been huge inspiration to me ❤🔥
I played on switch for every season up to this one where I finally got a laptop... I still play like 30-60fps on my laptop 😭
Same, my laptop runs 40 FPS, even in creative max.. and in matches I can even go down to 0 😅
You can actually play 60 fps on switch if have a TV, and I think it'll be better with a monitor and capture card
I was playing pwr endless zone wars while watching this
At 9:24 of the video, i thought it was a something that only happened to me but that weird one shot lag bug happens to everyone else's too.
Also, squad can be very very laggy
Add on, your game play of 30fps look worst when i play on the switch
Since switching from 90-120 on ps5 the game instantly felt better but 60-90 isn’t actually as bad as pc players make it out to be
maybe a human eye can only see 60fps or a better term hz(herz). But it can see or watch way more, but we don't know what the limit is.
Love your video Lachlan and keep up the great work you are awesome

On behalf of the switch community (30fps) and 700 ping usually (i play on mobile hotspot) i want to say that im somehow unreal and quite good
You should do a switch tournament.
Too be honest as someone who plays on switch exclusively you get used to it after a while of playing. Also thanks for the respect

Us switch players just turn the brightness on the switch all the way down so it just distracts us from the fps.

The Average human eye can see between 60 and 90 fps but a research discovered that gamers gain the ability to see way more fps than average
